Hello everyone,

Spring is right around the corner, and you need to look your best at the beach.  Have you ever considered incorporating a trampoline workout to aid in your exercise program?  Here are some basic moves that will get you moving and feeling fit!

1. Basic Bounce– just bouncing on the trampoline will help you burn calories and lose weight.  Some individuals prefer to count bouncing repetitions, while others set a time limit.  Figure out a plan that works well for you.  It’s your trampoline weight loss program—individualise it!
2. Bounce and Kick– after you are comfortable with the motion of the trampoline, try kicking to up the calorie burn.  When you are in the air, extend one leg into a kick before switching legs.  Feel the burn!
3. Touch Your Toes– for the flexible bouncers, try touching your toes while you’re in the air.  Expert tip–stretch before attempting this feat!!
4. Arm Circles– why should your legs have all the fun?  Get your arms into the action by doing arm circles of varying widths while bouncing.  You can circle your arms in front of you, to the side, one at a time, etc.
5. Knee touches– this is one of my favorite moves!  For a simple knee touch, allow your hands to touch your knees in midair.  To really tone your core, bring your elbows to your knees and squeeze your abs and perform a standing crunch.

Happy trampoline toning, everyone!
