Back in the ’70s, trampolines, or trampolines as they were called then, did wonders for keeping people fit and helping them stay on track with their training schedules. Trampoline use was all the rage back then, and soon lost its glory as the premier weight-loss equipment with the advent of fitness centers. However, mini trampolines are slowly regaining their lost glory and can now be seen alongside other gym equipment.

The mechanism involved in the use of mini trampolines is the same as that of the large ones. The difference would be the size of the net and the smaller, tighter springs. Because of this, you shouldn’t try to jump higher like trapeze artists might by using a larger trampoline. The focus of this exercise is more on the downward motion than the upward motion.

Jumping on mini trampolines proved to be an effective, low-impact cardio exercise that doesn’t damage your joints or spine. But before participating in such an exercise, you need to first consult a doctor to determine if you are strong enough to use the equipment and if your heart can handle the physical activity.

To get started with the regimen, the following are some important points to consider:

Heating. Be sure to do some warm-up exercises before putting your body through strenuous activity. This will help prepare the body and muscles for the stiff exercises that follow the warm-up.

Wear a supportive bra. For women with large breasts, it is important that you wear a supportive bra to help carry the weight in the front. Jumping up and down can cause pain around the chest area.

Slowly build resistance. Don’t overexert yourself when using a mini trampoline, especially if you’re still new to it. It can lead to shortness of breath and will pull it out easily. With consistent exercise, your staying power will improve and you’ll be able to perform more complicated routines.

feeling of dizziness If you are a beginner in the use of mini trampolines, you will initially feel dizzy during or after the exercise. This is normal. Very soon, as your sense of balance and coordination improves, the feeling of dizziness also disappears.

Cool down. After each session, don’t forget to freshen up. Never stop abruptly, as this will cause you to lose your balance, feel dizzy, or worse, pass out. Give yourself time to relax and slowly return to your normal pace.

Try these easy and enjoyable fitness exercises and see the big difference.
