Are you the proud new owner of a backyard trampoline? Have you already spent many hours joyfully burning calories and having fun on the trampoline mat, giggling just like you were a kid again? Trampolines have been highly recommended by doctors and fitness experts alike for many years. The unique rebounding motion that you can enjoy while bouncing on the trampoline has many health benefits, including shaking loose toxins in your blood cells and helping to strengthen your core muscles. It's important to know how to get the best exercise and the most enjoyment out of your trampoline, so here are some tips for living your bouncing life to the fullest!
The first thing you need to know to get the most out of your trampoline is safety guidelines. It might seem overly cautious to create rules and regulations for properly using a trampoline, but when you consider the fact that there are over three hundred thousand trampoline related injuries that occur in the US each year, it's important to make sure that you do everything you can to make sure your friends and family members are always using the trampoline parts the way they were intended.
The first and most important rule to establish when you set up a new trampoline is that each member of your family should walk all the way around the structure and complete a full inspection before each jumping session. Teach your friends and children to look for rusty trampoline springs, bent portions of the trampoline frame, and worn spots in the trampoline mat. If anything seems out of the ordinary, it's important to stay off of the structure until you can determine whether or not replacement trampoline parts need to be ordered and installed.
Another thing you have to establish when you first set up your trampoline is that there can never be more than one person jumping on the trampoline at a time. There are several reasons for establishing this rule: the trampoline springs aren't meant to bear the weight of more than one person jumping on different portions of the structure at once, multiple bodies bouncing at once have a good chance of colliding and causing injury, and multiple bouncers have a good chance of accidentally rebounding someone else on another portion of the trampoline mat onto the ground unintentionally. Make sure each person knows the consequences that are possible when the rules are ignored.
