min read
When it comes to trampolines, adults deserve to have some fun too.
The challenge is finding the right trampoline to buy.
At Springfree Trampoline, we created the springless trampoline design and have become industry experts due to our decades of experience as a trampoline manufacturer.
We constantly monitor the other major trampoline brands and have narrowed down the list of the six best trampolines for adults.
We’ve broken down the best trampolines for adults into the two most popular categories: Mini-trampolines and larger (or heavy-duty, as we call them in this article) trampolines for adults.
Let's get started!
Benefits of Trampoline Jumping for Adults
Before jumping into the list, let’s summarise some of the major benefits of jumping on a trampoline for adults:
-
Improves heart health and cardiovascular system
-
Easy on the joints due to the soft jumping surface
-
Develops and improves balance/coordination
-
Helps with weight loss
-
Improves mental health and alleviates stress in a fun way
The health benefits, both physical and psychological, can be immense and have proven to be more effective than jogging or running on a treadmill.
According to a renowned study conducted by NASA in the 1980s, trampoline jumping is 68% more effective than jogging and requires less physical exertion.
Furthermore, jumping on a trampoline for 20 minutes burns the same amount of calories as running 10 km/h for the same period, according to a study by the American Council of Exercise.
Besides the health benefits, jumping on a trampoline is a joyous activity that can be a great avenue to memorable memories for the whole family.
