Trampolines

Forget no carbohydrates diets, I have found the perfect way to get that slim bikini body for the summer…

A couple of years ago I hurt my knee really badly. After months of physiotherapy and plaster casts and crutches, I started to really pile on the pounds. I must have put on about one and half stone in the last year. As the summer is nearing I really wanted to get back into my skinny jeans and my nice swim wear.

The thing I have noticed about diets is, they always start very well but eventually you get hungry and then start to feel ill, also I have found them very expensive, all the low fat stuff seems to be really expensive, there is always too much temptation for yummy things, and research shows that chocolate is good for us women. Joining the gym started to cost a fortune and if you’re a mum like me, where do you get the time?

So, what is the answer? I bought my children a Trampoline. The laughter I heard from the back garden always makes me smile. One day I thought I would get on it. I could literally feel the pounds dropping off me.

I started to use trampolines with my children for 15 minutes a day, and I became tired quite quickly, after a couple of weeks I was on it for 30 minutes a day and felt really healthy. My appetite went up a little more but I noticed I was craving more water based things, such as cucumber because I was burning more energy. I didn’t just notice the difference in my weight loss though, I was full of energy, I found it easier to get up in the morning and easier to get to sleep at night. I noticed a difference in my children too, they were happier because they have a bright happy mum and also I had found a way to bond with all of them at the same time, and on a up note they were exhausted at bed time too!

I have owned my trampoline for a few months now and I am happy to say that I am back in my skinny jeans and my nice swim wear and have lost over a stone in weight, I have a more toned body now and have a lot more confidence then I did before too.

The great things about trampolines is if I saved my gym money for 3 months I would have enough to buy one, they come in so many sizes and for what they are and the happiness they bring they are cheap. My trampoline to date is my best investment.
