Benefits of fitness trampolines for women

It burns fat efficiently with 80% lower joint pressure than conventional running and jumping exercises, targets the activation of deep core and small muscle groups, and has an emotional release effect that far exceeds ordinary aerobic exercise. It is a light-intensity exercise option that is extremely friendly to most women.

I first came into contact with trampoline after I injured my meniscus while running a half-marathon the year before. The doctor did not allow me to do any running or jumping movements on hard ground. My best friend dragged me to a trampoline hall near my home and said, "Try this, your knees won't hurt no matter how hard you bounce." I've heard people say before that trampolines hurt their knees. To be honest, they really haven't found the right method. The elastic fabric and springs of trampolines used for formal fitness can remove 80% of the impact force of landing. The pressure on load-bearing joints such as ankles, knees, and hips is much less than running on the side of the road. A large number of girls, mothers who are more than six months postpartum, and people like me with old injuries can do it. Of course, if you jump as high as you can as soon as you get up, and your knees buckle in when you land, then walking on a flat road, let alone a trampoline, can hurt your knees, right?

If you're like me and you couldn't find the feeling of strength during core training before, and your lower abdomen still bulges after doing dozens of sets of abdominal curls, and your back is sore after sitting for a long time, then you must try the benefits of the trampoline. In the past, when I was doing abdominal crunches, I always felt that my neck and waist were exerting force, but my rectus abdominis had no sensation. When I went to a trampoline class, the instructor said that you should always control your body and not sway when jumping. The small deep muscles that are close to the spine and are difficult to train with normal abdominal crunches are contracting throughout the process. What is being trained is not just the superficial vest line. There is a mother in our gym who is six months postpartum. Her rectus abdominis was separated by two fingers and she did not dare to do vigorous abdominal crunches. She took basic trampoline classes twice a week and consciously tightened her core every time. After a month, the separation was reduced to half a finger, and her waist circumference was reduced by 4cm. It is much more efficient than her previous blind exercises at home. Oh, by the way, I have to raise an objection here. Some people say that the trampoline is easy to bend the waist. That is really because the basic movements are not done correctly. It is best for beginners to learn the basic stance from the instructor for 10 minutes for the first time. The core should be slightly contracted throughout the process. Don't follow other people's jumping movements as soon as you get up. Stability is much more important than height.

In fact, to be honest, the main reason why I insist on jumping every week is not to lose weight or tighten my belly. It is the refreshing feeling that makes my whole body bright after jumping. It is really unmatched by other sports. Last time I just had an argument with my boss, and I was so angry that I had no place to vent my anger. I went to dance for half an hour. The whole time, I focused on finding the rhythm and controlling the balance with the music. I had no time to think about the troublesome things at work. When I reached the highest point, I even had the illusion of flying. When I came out, I almost forgot what the boss was wearing today. It was more relaxing than drinking three cups of milk tea. I've seen people say before that this is just temporary excitement, what kind of serious benefit is it? But anyone who has checked relevant research knows that aerobic activities such as trampolining, which bring a sense of pleasure, release about 30% more endorphins than ordinary jogging. Isn’t it because many girls can’t persist in exercising because running is too boring and lifting irons is too painful? If you sway to the music on the trampoline, even if you have zero basic knowledge, you can quickly catch up. The threshold for persistence is much lower.

Oh, and there is an unpopular advantage. Many postpartum mothers are worried about pelvic floor muscle problems. As long as you exert the force correctly and consciously retract the pelvic floor when jumping, it can have an auxiliary exercise effect. However, if you have serious urinary leakage, it is best to wear adult diapers at the beginning. Don't listen to others who say that urinary leakage on trampolines is normal. If it is serious, see a doctor for evaluation first and don't force yourself to do it. Many people also ask if they can buy a mini trampoline for home use. Of course, they can. Just choose the one with handrails and put a sound insulation pad of more than 3cm below it. It will basically not disturb the downstairs. I have used it in a rental house for more than half a year, and I have never been found downstairs. Oh, yes, some people also asked whether it would cause breast loss? Wear high-intensity sports bras, sisters, I have been jumping for almost two years and I don’t have this problem at all. Don’t listen to the nonsense on the Internet.

Of course, this does not mean that trampolines are omnipotent. Sisters with severe lumbar spondylolisthesis and heart disease must not use them. I usually also do strength training twice a week and will not rely solely on trampolines for fitness. But for most girls who want to move but are afraid of pain, boredom, and can’t spare much time every day, you can really find a regular gym and give it a try. Maybe it will open up a new door for you to exercise. Haha.
