The Top 5 Health Benefits of a Trampoline

We love sharing tips, tricks and fun things to do on your Springfree Trampoline with our blog readers.

We thought we’d take some time to re-visit the top 5 health benefits that you can gain from regular trampoline-based activities.

If pounding the streets or a strenuous gym session isn’t your idea of a good time, don’t worry, because ten minutes of bouncing can actually have similar health benefits to a 30-minute run (as per a study done by NASA).

Here are some other great benefits you can count on:

1. Heart Health 

Increasing your heart rate with 10 minutes of bouncing a day will strengthen the muscles that are needed for a healthy cardiovascular system. If a happy heart isn’t a good reason to bounce, we don’t know what is!

2. Joint Protection

Your bouncy Springfree Trampoline mat acts as a great absorption pad. Taking all the force when you land, it prevents the jarring of ankles, knees and your spine.

3. Co-ordination Boost

The combination of jumping high, maintaining balance and concentrating on executing the move, will help to improve your motor skills and co-ordination – all in one go.

4. Increase in Energy Levels

As you bounce, more oxygen is carried around your body in the blood stream. This will instantly increase your energy levels and make you more alert.

5. Strong Bones

Powerful jumping means your legs work hard to push you upwards over and over. This small amount of stress actually helps encourage your bones to increase in density and reduce the chance of developing osteoporosis.
