Hello all! I am new here, and was just looking for some talk and support about trampolining for health. I have a friend whose kids have a trampoline and I noticed that every time I would get on with the kids, I was sore in my stomach the next few days, and of course, out of breath while I was on the trampoline. So anyway, I've been asking for it, so hubby got me a trampoline for Christmas! Just putting the thing together has proven to be a pretty good work-out, but I'm looking forward to getting on it and getting in shape! Does anyone know some fitness benefits (muscles worked, calories burned, etc) you can get from trampolining?

Its a good and fun way to burn some calories and work out some muscles. I do not know how many calories you will burn but its a great way to exercise. You will work out several muscle groups including your abs, hips and legs.

You nailed it! My stomach (sides and lower front) and inner thighs are already sore. Those are the exact areas I need to work too! And since I can only jump for about 5 minutes at a time right now before I'm out of breath, I'm guessing it's a great cardio work out too. Very Happy

Congrats on the new trampoline!
I have a mini exercise one that I use from time to time. There are various exercises you can do on it to target specific muscles. Looking it up in a search engine would be the best way. I believe a lot of sites refer to it as "rebounding."
