Fancy a bit of fun and variety in your workout? Try bouncing on the trampoline. This is our experience with the fitness trampoline.
Always the same workout? Don't feel like working out anymore? Your standard exercises are too monotonous? Your muscles are thinking exactly the same thing. They need variety and have had enough of constantly similar movements. That's why we tried out a fitness trampoline.
Training with a trampoline is a lot of fun and also super effective. After just a few jumps you'll start to sweat - we can promise you that.
Trampoline jumping improves your coordination, balance and fitness. With exercises you can train your ankles and legs. Bouncing also gives you a big grin all over your face :)
But before we can start training on the fitness trampoline, of course, it must first be set up.

The structure of the fitness trampoline
Ordered directly from Amazon, it is a few days later on the doorstep. Of course, in many individual parts. And here begins the first part of your workout. Building up is not something you can do quickly on the side.
Plan enough time and grab a helper. Because it is very helpful for stretching the rubbers if you work in pairs. In addition, a practical auxiliary tool is supplied, with which the rubber tensioning works great.
Before the first workout, save the warm-up exercises. :) But the great thing about the fitness trampoline is that you don't need any tools.
You just have to put the parts together. Fortunately, the instructions are also written very simply. So nothing can go wrong.
The most difficult part is attaching the rubbers.
Wow! That's why you should get a mini trampoline!
But after a short time you get the hang of it. Then it's quite fast. In total, the two of us needed 15 minutes. Including photos :)

The 4 best exercises with the fitness trampoline
Before you start doing trampoline exercises, you need to warm up. Your knees will probably be stiff at first. Do some stretching exercises and bounce slowly before you really get started.
The side straddle on the trampoline
Even if it doesn't look like it, but this trampoline exercise can be done even by beginners. You will be amazed how far you can straddle your legs. Even if you can't do the splits or anything like that.
Hold on to the grab handle with both hands. And start to jump. Bend your knees slightly. The first two times you jump normally. Now straddle your legs sideways as soon as you leave the mat. Try to stretch your arms and lift your buttocks backwards.
The side jump right on the trampoline
Trampoline exercises are a great workout for your thighs. However, this exercise also works your lateral abdominal muscles.
Stand upright and straight in front of your fitness trampoline. Hold on to the handle with both hands and start jumping. Always bend your knees a little. Now jump to the right side and pull your knees to your chest. Keep your upper body straight at all times.
If you are advanced, you can change the side at every jump. So 1x right and 1x left. In the beginning you should start slowly and do only one side at a time.
The longitudinal straddle on the trampoline
You should only do this trampoline exercise when you are already comfortable with it. You could injure yourself if you get caught on the support bar.
In contrast to the side straddle, here you lead one leg forward and the other backward. Here, too, you should stick to one movement sequence at the beginning. For example, always stretch the right leg forward and the left leg backward. Stretch your legs firmly and try to get them as far forward or backward as possible.
With your hands you hold on to the support bar during the whole exercise.
The side jump left on the trampoline
Simply the same as the trampoline exercise "lateral jump right" only instead of right, this time the legs after :)
