Trampolines are used for a wide variety of functions, but did you know that many gyms are now implementing these incredible devices in their group classes?

It’s true!  Mini trampolines (also known as rebounders) are surging in popularity as gyms all across the world are creating trampoline fitness classes.  Trampolines are a fantastic way to lose weight in a fun, low impact way.

Trampolines give many of the same toning and cardio effects of medicine balls or treadmills, but without the jarring impact on the joints.  People who want to simultaneously lose weight and tone their muslces needn’t look any further–a mini trampoline is like a weight machine and a cardio machine combined into one device!

Trampoline fitness classes can also offer some added benefits that other devices simply cannot claim.  Jumping on a trampoline increases flexibility, improves balance, fine-tunes coordination, and greatly improves the body’s ability to coordinate two sides of the body.  The unstable rebounding motion of these devices forces the body to become more aware of its surroundings and greatly improves motor skills and kinesthetic awareness.

Furthermore, jumping on a trampoline is just as fun as you remember.  Statistics show that people who enjoy their exercise programs are much more likely to continue their routine and therefore maintain their weight loss.
