But adults also benefit from using a trampoline: the bouncing workout activates up to 400 muscles, reduces stress, strengthens the cardiovascular system and increases coordination and balance. Find out everything you need to know about the addictive power workout here.


Who is Jumping Fitness suitable for?


Fitness experts are convinced of the workout on the trampoline: Jumping is fun, most adults still remember bouncy castles and trampolines from childhood. So the threshold to use a trampoline for fitness training is low.

At the same time, jumping on a trampoline is much easier on the joints than, for example, a running workout. Large parts of the musculature, including the deep muscles, are challenged, but the effort is quite controllable, gravity helps with the training.

This makes Jumping Fitness suitable for almost everyone, with a few exceptions: Age, training condition or weight do not matter. Pregnant women and people with spinal problems, such as patients with a slipped disc or a spinal injury - even if healed - should refrain from jumping training.

For older exercisers, the trampoline is perfect for training balance and coordination. Even as you slowly shift your weight from one foot to the other on the trampoline, your sense of balance is trained. Fitness trampolines always have a handle that the anxious and untrained can hold on to and stabilize themselves well.

Compared to jogging, trampoline jumping is much more efficient: 30 minutes of jogging is equivalent to about 10 minutes of training on the trampoline.

Beginners stay low, advanced students can jump higher and incorporate a distinct flying phase into the exercise. If your balance is already well trained, you can release the hands from the handle and move at chest level with the palms alternating from the inside to the outside and back with each jump.

Exercise 3b: (30 seconds): Place your left foot forward and your right foot backward. Repeat the previous exercise with your legs switched.

Exercise 4 (30 seconds): "Skier" - Assume a low, squat position as if skiing. Feet are positioned wide apart, on the outside of the jumping surface. Go to your knees with your back straight, leaning your torso forward. Bring your hands together in front of your stomach, pressing your palms against each other. Do quick, small jumps in the squat position, staying low the whole time. If you feel unsteady, you can also hold on to the handle during this exercise.

Exercise 5 (30 seconds): "Loosening" - Let go of the handle. Jump loosely and springily, lifting your arms above your head and bringing them back to your sides on the next jump. Take a deep breath.
