Different Types of Trampolines


The dreaded gymnasium at school was the first time most of us were introduced to the trampoline.  Those of us with long memories can still hear the dreaded tones of the PE (or PT) teacher barking out the instructions.  Nowadays they are enjoyed the world over by adults and children and Gymnastics trampolining has become an Olympic sport in its own right.  In back yards, gardens and schools they are to be seen in all their glory and in every size and colour imaginable. Let us look at some of the various trampolines available today in our lives.

 

                        Firstly is the recreational one which for obvious reasons is the most popular and comes available in a number of sizes ranging from small ones that can be utilised by just one person to large ones that can accommodate several at one go subject naturally to safety precautions.  The recreational can be square, rectangular, circular or even octagonal.  They are designed with fewer springs than a competitive trampoline mentioned below.  They usually have waterproof canvas as opposed to the special woven fabric found in other types of trampoline.  A recreational trampoline is ideal if the whole family are likely to want to jump.

 

                        Secondly, we have the competitive trampoline.  This is by far the sturdiest of all trampolines yet at the same time is extremely light and can if required be taken apart and transported from competition to competition.  Usually a competitive trampoline measures 14 feet by 7 feet and the frame has roughly 110 steel springs.  These springs support a fabric that is woven from webbing.  All of this enables the athlete to jump higher and bounce higher and able to perform more aerobic and acrobatic manoeuvres.  A competitive trampoline also comes in handy for any skier, diver or snowboarder to train on.

 

                        Thirdly there is the mini trampoline which as the name suggests is smaller than the traditional trampolines and unique in its own way.  With a mini trampoline it is possible to give yourself a cardiovascular workout in the confines of your own home.  This type of trampoline is less strenuous on the joints and the knees in particular.  It is perfect for use indoors.

 

                        Finally and perhaps one that most people will not think about is the water trampoline.  This apparatus has an inflatable tube and usually will float in water.  It has to be said that water trampolines are made mostly for fun but anyone interested in trying them out will find they get a really good work-out from jumping high without any limitation on space.

                        The various trampolines mentioned here are all unique in their own way and are a good way of having fun and exercise simultaneously.

Trampoline Pads


A trampoline is made from heavy steel tubing. If you fall onto this tubing you could sustain serious injury to yourself. However protection is at hand in the guise of trampoline pads.  They are a superb way of making a trampoline safer outside.  The pads cover the tubing and the springs.  

                        Known as trampoline safety pads they cushion any fall on the springs or the frame.  In turn this cushioning can help to prevent injury and additionally protection is also given to fingers and thumbs and any other small body parts that might get caught in the springs.  When deciding on the pads to buy make sure you do not skimp on them and even if they cost a bit more than you might have thought still get them.   A cheaper quality may not perform as well.  

                        Vinyl covered foam is the usual method of making the padding with the width and thickness varying with each product.  When you buy ensure the width of the pads cover the entire spring and frame.  With some manufacturers you may be lucky enough to get a warranty on your pads.  Should you be concerned about the quality you may want to get them from such a supplier.  

                        Apart from the obvious safety aspect the pads can also improve the appearance of the trampoline as they cover both the springs and the frame.  They also protect the springs from exposure to inclement weather.  Another advantage is that in all probability the padding will be in a much brighter colour than the rest of the trampoline and this will help make the edge of the trampoline much more visible.

                        Remove the pads when the trampoline is not in use.  If you take good care of the padding then this will help extend the life of the padding.  Keep the pads clean.    

                        Unlike most parts of the trampoline the pads will need replacing several times throughout the lifetime of the apparatus.   It is all dependent upon how the pads are cared for and of course how they might suffer during inclement weather that they will naturally be exposed to. 

                        Replacement of the pads should take place every year or so dependent on how well they are looked after.  If you get any rips or tears or if their fitting becomes loose then they need to be replaced immediately.  Safety first at all times.  Trampoline pads do differ in things like size and style and even colour.  When you buy new ones make certain you have the exact measurements so that the new ones will fit accordingly.

Trampoline Mats


As we all know trampolines provide a superb opportunity for both exercise and as a family fun time.  A crucial element of the trampoline is the trampoline mat. Let’s face it the springs and the frame to which they are attached would not have much effect without a surface to jump on. 

                        Trampoline mats come in many different guises.  At the time you decide to purchase a trampoline make sure you thoroughly investigate the quality of the mat.  They are usually made from polypropylene or waterproof fabric or canvas fabric.  The bounce you get comes from the springs not the mat as some people might imagine.  

                        As with many things in life nothing lasts forever and the same goes for trampoline mats.  In due course it will sustain certain damage and require either repair or replacement.  The stitching is probably the first place wear will be noticed and this is sometimes due to ultra violet exposure and use and will happen prior to the fabric jumping surface wearing out.  It may be better to mend the stitching rather than replace a mat that may still have many years of wear and tear left in it.

                        Any small hole can be easily patched as a temporary measure and the entire mat has no need to be replaced in its entirety.  Any patch must be considered as a temporary solution and if any further holes do appear it is then that you should for safety reasons consider replacing the mat.

                        When the time comes to replace the mat the best idea would be to contact the original supplier.  Mats are easily found and more so if your model is still sold.  His will mean you will be able to get an exact replacement.  If not, no problem as mats are easy to find and even easier if you have a round trampoline.           

                        When replacing the mat ensure that all the parts of the trampoline are in good condition.   Have a good look at the springs and the pads just in case they need replacing.

Selecting Trampoline Parts and Accessories


One of the most important if not the most important thing about trampolines and the use of them is the safety aspect.  Selecting the best parts for your trampoline is extremely important as this will influence and impact on the safety of you and others using this apparatus.   Parts can be chosen depending upon the safety and storage purpose or you can select parts that will give some additional fun to the proceedings. 

 

                        The trampoline itself is simply a strong piece of fabric that is stretched across a steel frame that has springs.  There is a mat that covers the base fabric and it is this that helps you to bounce up and down.   You will find trampolines in circuses and firs.  They are also used for competitive purposes as we know from watching the Olympics.

 

                        Any trampoline accessories or attachments that you may want to purchase can be done over the internet website, like Madfun for example.  They are professional to a fault and give service second to none.  There are plenty of companies offering so called good deals but always deal with a well known name or manufacturer.  If possible check the goods before you buy them or accept an offer to return them for full repayment if they are not what you wanted.  

 

                        A frame for a trampoline from a professional manufacturer or outlet like Madfun will in all probability be given a 10 year guarantee on its use.  In some instances the warranty may be for the life of the apparatus.  Some manufacturers will offer free delivery for additional parts and accessories.  The latter will include nets, enclosures and possible net cushions. Trampoline safety pads can also be utilised.  Once again some manufacturers may offer these free of charge along with the main frame and unit.   Always get a trampoline cover because this helps to protect the unit against inclement weather that we do encounter throughout the year.  If the children are not permitted to use the trampoline at any time then putting the cover on will draw this fact to their attention.   If adults are not around to supervise then children must not play on the trampoline.

 

                        Climbing on and off looks easy on television when a dismount is performed but these are professionals and must not be copied by us.  The safest way to mount and dismount is with the use of a trampoline ladder made especially for the unit. 

 

                        Finally it is possible to purchase trampoline parts meant for fun and these include baseball or rounders equipment, bounce boards and tents.

 

                        Whatever you do play safe and enjoy this remarkable recreational toy.

Rebounding on a Trampoline


The use of a mini trampoline is becoming more and more popular as a form of modern day exercise.  It is probably a throw back to those days when you bounced on your bed at home with your brothers and sisters.  It was great fun unless it got out of hand and Mother stepped in but all in all you probably remember it as a fun time.  The word ‘exercise’ was not apart of the everyday vocabulary then but even though you never realised it you were in fact getting good exercise all the same.  The rebounding was a brilliant exercise for the whole body and much easier on the joints as is mini trampolining today.

 

                        It does not really matter whether you bounce slowly or a bit faster, it will still get your heart pumping and improve your metabolic (another word new to the modern era) rate.  With the correct food you can help yourself lose weight.  If you ae serious about the exercise then take it a step further and increase your output by bouncing more or trying running on the spot.  Increases however small will all aid your health.  

 

                        Don’t expect to become an Olympic mini champion overnight.  Balance will be needed first and getting used to the trampoline. When you first get your mini trampoline just stand still in the middle of it and make slow movements to start with.  Wear sturdy shoes or have bare feet when using the apparatus.  Do not just wear socks as these will slip and cause you possible injury. 

 

                        If you lack confidence to start with place the trampoline against a wall or something you can support yourself with or against.  Just stand and there is no need to lift your feet in the air to start with.  Just get the feel of the equipment below you and do small bounces keeping your feet on the trampoline.  When you feel you can cope with a bit more increase your movements so that your feet do leave the canvas but just briefly. 

 

                        Don’t forget that everyone is different so whereas you may not be so confident or able to balance well for several days some of your friends or family may be able to just get on and start jumping up and down immediately.  Don’t be rushed just do things in your own time.  The same situation may occur when trying bigger moves.  Bear in mind that whilst moving on the trampoline you are simultaneously working out your muscles so depending on your physical condition you are doing nothing but good to help yourself health wise. The larger the bounce then the more it helps you.

 

                        Confidence to step up your routine will not take long coming and you might want to consider a slow jogging on the trampoline.  Do not rush into this if you don’t want to but in the words of a famous supermarket ‘every little helps’.   If you can master a small jog then after a few days try what is commonly known as a jumping jack routine.  This is simply jumping the way you do but jumping continuously and increasing the bounce as you become more confident.

 

                        The latter will seem just like jumping on a bed when you were young – which is where we came in.

Keep Fit and Safe on Trampolines


In today’s modern society one of the most used words is ‘obese’ with sadly so many children falling into the category of obese and some one step further at ‘morbidly obese’.   Exercise is one of the easiest things to do to allay this but it needs to be fun exercise that everyone will enjoy.  Trampolining could be the answer for many.   There is no denying they are great fun and children of all ages thoroughly enjoy them.  Better still by just using them fundamentally by jumping straight up and down on them you are getting valuable exercise without realising it. 

                        Inevitably with children you cannot eliminate risk altogether from injury just minimise it.  Children unfortunately will always find a way to hurt themselves, its all part of growing up and learning.  We are of course taking here about the minor scrapes and bumps not life-threatening injuries. So what is the best way of making sure everyone enjoys there sessions on the trampoline yet stays safe. It is a fact that 75% of the accidents happen when there is more than a single person performing on the apparatus.        When there is more than one person of different sizes on the trampoline then if an accident occurs the smallest is more liable to be hurt more. 

                        Although adult supervision is paramount when children are taking part in trampoline activities accidents can and still do happen.  Having an adult present is simply no guarantee that no accident will happen.                         

                        Whilst we should always encourage the children to take part in trampoline activities we must be aware of the history because it lets us know what to look out for so that the future can be made safer.  Safety first starts when you buy the trampoline.  Do not go for the cheapest just to save a few pounds.  Do not buy a second hand one from anyone not even your best friend; always pay out for a brand new one and from a respected stockist or manufacturer.

                        One of the best pieces of quality equipment is the Supertramp or in the internet pages of Madfun you will find an equivalent piece just as good a quality.  You will only find a trampoline of this quality at a professional sports emporium or on the internet, look for Madfun.  You will be able to discuss all the safety aspects of the apparatus with the experts.  

                        For obvious reasons make sure the trampoline is standing in  a clear space and nowhere near washing lines, fences or garden sheds.  You should allow for at least 3 metres all around the trampoline for safety’s sake.    Place the item on a soft surface NOT on concrete or paving slabs.  Soft surfaces like grass and a special soft material as in children’s play areas in local parks are ideal.     

                        In professional places like sports stadia a British Standard applies but not in private gardens and back yards.  Good manufacturers have their reputation to think of and you can rest assured you will be looked after properly.  Any trampoline made for adults and older children should not be utilised by kids less than six years of age.

                        Always replace worn parts and make sure the replacements fit accurately.  When the apparatus is in use ensure that absolutely no-one is underneath and make sure everyone keeps clear.   Just have a few thoughts and a bit of common sense and your trampoline will fill you with joy and fun for a very long time.  Be safe.

Trampolines are Great


If you are looking for a way to combine fun and exercise then look no further than the trampoline.  According to the medical profession trampoline exercise especially the rebound element is one of the best, healthiest and safest of exercises that you can do.  Your heart and your joints will all benefit from a daily session on the trampoline.  Forget jogging and the impact that has on your tendons and joints, trampolining is much more fun and it is aerobic. The rebound element referred to above simply means jumping on a trampoline.

 

                        The garden or back yard trampoline known as a recreational trampoline has gained in popularity during recent years and can be nothing but good for the children and has to be far better than sitting in front of the TV with the latest Wii game.  You can trampoline alone or with your friends.  Depending upon where you live you can use the trampoline to brush up on your snowboarding skills ready for the winter time.  A trampoline is akin to having a gym in your back garden.

 

                         Be careful if your friends come round and ensure you do not all get on at the same time.  If you feel you would like to take your interest a step further than join a local club for guidance.  Trampolining is now a fully recognized Olympic sport so there is no telling where you might end up if you are good enough but above all just enjoy the fun that this sport gives you.  Whether you are the next Olympic champion or not just wallow in the health and fun benefits that having a trampoline has.   

 

                        Having made the wise move to invest in a trampoline you will need a garden or back yard obstruction clear around the width and height of the apparatus and for several feet beyond that.  There are several different sizes of trampoline and you really must ensure yours fits your space and allows for the needs of it.  You can be sure there is a trampoline for you its just you need to be patient in order to get the right one.    

 

                        You will be able to purchase round, square, rectangular end even octagonal items but you will find the rectangular ones are usually made of a more durable material.  Their springs will be criss-crossed which enables the tension to be drawn in a more even manner.  This in turn creates a more even and uniform surface for jumping on.      

 

                        Circular or round trampolines have their springs around the perimeter of the apparatus making the exact centre the only real place to bounce on.  Any jumping outside of the centre spot will mean you will find t much harder to keep your balance with the consequence of falling more.  Round trampolines have a lighter frame than other trampolines meaning they come cheaper to buy.

                       

                        In all probability the trampoline will be used by children so heed the warding of some children’s safety experts that warn against purchasing standard trampolines because of the chance of getting fingers caught in the springs or the child falling off the trampoline.   It is possible to get special trampolines for children and these will utilise a different type of spring.  You can also buy nets and have apparatus with non-slip surfaces for children’s trampolines.

 

                        Above all, enjoy your trampoline but be safe.  It really is great fun.

Trampoline Safety


Since the 1960’s trampolines have gained in popularity.  In the early days the main trampoline was the rectangular one that was used in schools in those interminable PE lessons that most of us detested so much.  Nowadays it is possible to purchase anything from a small round one ideal for a small child up to a magnificent larger model for anyone lucky enough to have a large garden.  The important thing to remember though is that whatever size you have then the apparatus can be dangerous especially for the inexperienced.  Therefore there are a few key factors to consider if you have or intend getting a trampoline for recreational usage.

 

                        To start with there is the positioning of the trampoline in your garden or backyard.  Never get one that fits snugly into the area.   Always leave ample room not only to get on and dismount but you need extra space in the garden for other games.  You must also consider the area above the trampoline for those that can jump higher than others on the apparatus.  Make sure the trampoline if outside is placed away from the fences, hedges and anything else that can cause possible damage.  This seems fairly obvious but some people might take chances and it simply is not worth it.

Try and have a gap of some ten feet space around the trampoline to avoid any headlong diving into the bushes. 

                        Secondly children get terribly excited with the sight of a trampoline and all of them cannot wait to get on and start jumping around together.  Sadly the more may not be the merrier but it can lead to injury.  Even two of them crashing into each other can cause injury.   Therefore the rule ONE AT A TIME must be enforced and get everyone else to stand clear and watch not stand near around the edge of the trampoline.

                        Thirdly is the question of what to wear while you are using the trampoline.  It is possible to buy special footwear so get some as they are not expensive.  Ordinary socks will cause you to slip so avoid them at all costs.  Make sure your clothing is loose fitting enough to enable easy movement with no restriction.   Take care to remove all jewellery and do not have anything loose in your pockets.

                        Fourthly, remember that trampolining is superb fun and gives good exercise but do not get carried away.  Exercises that you may be able to do easily on the firm ground may not be so easy to do on the trampoline and should not be attempted until you have more tuition.  Incorrect landing can cause injurious perhaps serious ones. 

                        If you consult the internet you may find a local trampolining course that you can join.  You will be able to use all the simple and straightforward moves, getting off, dismounting and so on.  This is well worth it if you can get it.  

Repairing Trampolines


Although trampolines are a great pastime for kids of all ages especially during the summer months in the garden you must beware of the dangers that the trampoline holds if it does not receive proper maintenance and repair when necessary.

                        It is absolutely essential that maintenance should be on a regular basis and repairs carried out every four years at the most.   Trampolines even if they seem okay should really be replaced at least every ten ears.  Most manufacturers should provide you with a ten year guarantee so as soon as this expires invest in a new one.  It makes common sense.  If you find that the British weather has made the apparatus deteriorate sooner than the ten years then this is also a good idea for a replacement.  Safety first are the key words.  As soon as any damage occurs you must stop using the trampoline immediately until repairs are carried out.  

                        There are several ways that damage can occur and must have repairs carried out on it.  For example some of the stitching can be worn, some of the springs can be damaged or perhaps the straps may be wearing out.  Anything like this and trampoline usage must cease until repairs are complete or replacement parts are put in place.

                        It is also hard to believe given our summers but the sun can cause rot to set in unless the trampoline is covered when not in use.  This protects it from the sun and any other factor. 

                        Unless you are an absolute expert you should always seek expert help in the repairing of the trampoline.  Parts can be obtained from High Street outlets or from the Internet Companies.  A repair company can replace things like straps and rings and the mat can be stitched up securely to make it strong enough again for continued use.  Any faulty springs can also be replaced.  It has to be emphasised though that these are jobs for the experts and as already mentioned if you are not a top class handy man then call in the professionals.

                         Obviously in most instances the warranty will mean that in all probability the manufacturer will send their own professional firm to carry out the repairs.  If it is out of warranty then depending on the seriousness of the damage it may be a better idea to replace the trampoline with a new one.  This is a far safer option than risking possible injury to the children or boisterous adults.

.                       Properly looked after and with good luck your trampoline could last you successfully for many years.  Enjoy not only the thrill of trampolining but the stupendous exercise it provides simultaneously.

Trampoline Parts


Mention exercise to a lot of people especially children and you will probably be met with moans and groans about how boring it is etc etc.  Ask them if they would like to use a trampoline and hey presto a different reaction immediately.  The truth is though that although the trampoline is an excellent recreational toy for fun and excitement for all the family it is also a magnificent option for exercise. 

 

                        However for safety purposes it is essential to select the parts for the trampoline with much care.  You must realise that some parts and accessories are made with fun and games in mind.  You will also trampolines in circuses and at professional gymnastic competitions. The main part of the trampoline has a steel or wooden frame to it and has a strong fabric spread across it over springs.  A mat is what is used to bounce up and down on.  This is the exercise referred to.    

 

                        In today’s modern times we use the internet to buy many items and it is essential that when you are purchasing trampoline parts that you ensure the purveyor is well known.  You must be careful that you purchase the best quality trampoline that you can afford especially if it is your intention to use the apparatus for any long duration of time.  Most good manufacturers will provide a warranty perhaps of a 10 year period for the frame.  Take it, accept nothing less.   If possible try and get a warranty period for the pads and mats and any other arts you can.  If you are paying for a really top of the range trampoline then the manufacturers may even include safety pads in the price of the trampoline. 

 

                        Trampoline nets, cushions and enclosures all enhance the safety features of the trampoline.  A trampoline cover will enable you to prolong the life of your trampoline and it also serves as a warning to any children that the trampoline is currently out of bounds and must not be used.  It is always worth the money to buy anything whatsoever that will enhance the safety of the participants and the apparatus.

 

                        Finally, for some trampolines on the market there will be the necessity of purchasing a ladder for mounting and dismounting.  You may have seen the professional gymnasts dismounting with one jump but this must not be attempted by the amateur in the back garden.  It is totally and utterly dangerous. 

 

                        Follow the rules and the fun is there - and the exercise.

Buying a Trampoline


Having decided to buy a trampoline the first questions you need to ask yourself is will it get used regularly, what shape should it be and how big ?

 

                        Firstly you can be sure it will be used.  Your children will find they have friends they never knew existed when news gets round of a new trampoline in the neighbourhood.  As for the size and shape well circular ones are the most common for the garden as they are apparently not as powerful as the rectangular ones.  The latter are usually reserved for those with an athletic leaning.  With circular ones the participant will be naturally projected into the middle which is much safer.  

 

                        As for size this will obviously depend on how big your garden or backyard is.  Sizes can range from 6 foot up to 16 foot and you must provide enough space around the outside to allow for the net to flex if someone falls against it and to get on and off the apparatus.  As a safety aspect make sure the trampoline is situated away from overhanging trees or fences.  Ensure you select one that will grow with the family as it were.  In other words get one that will still be an adequate enough size in a few years when the children will have grown.  Trampolines should last several years and should come with a warranty of at least five years.

.                       Rather than purchase your trampoline from a toy shop try one of the internet suppliers that specialise in these items.  They will also be able to deliver the apparatus for you and will be in a better position to service you with spare parts and accessories from time to time.   

                        When it comes to consider what features your trampoline is going to have the frame, bounce mat and springs are the main constituents.  The frame is very important.  Usually made of steel the top quality ones are usually protected on both the inside and the outside of the tubing.   The bounce mat should be smooth, strong and very hard wearing. 

                        You should also make sure you have accessories for the trampoline such as a safety enclosure, ladder and a cover in case of inclement weather.  It does not matter what the ages of the users are you should always buy a safety enclosure. Buy one that has good safety padding over the springs.  The ladder is essential because it enables easy access for all ages.  Get one that has flat steps rather than tubular ones.  With some manufacturers a ladder will be included in the package. The weather cover is essential especially with our weather.

Trampolines and Safety


There is no doubt about the growing popularity of the trampoline in recent years.  Take a train ride though any area where the track looks down on houses back gardens or simply drive through any neighbourhood and you will see a myriad of trampolines of every shape and size and indeed colour.  These trampolines are marketed as a recreational toy and can provide a great deal of fun for the participants however there are safety aspects which have to be addressed.  Trampoline safety is paramount and rules and regulations must be adhered to. 

 

                        Primarily it is important that whatever size your trampoline is that it is located in the garden or wherever in an area devoid of trees and fences and any other outdoor toys.  If at all possible choose an area such as tall grasses where there is already an energy absorbing surface.  The trampoline’s spring system is safer if it has a frame pad covering all the surface of the trampoline.  If young children are going to be using the apparatus then why not dig a small pit and lower the trampoline into a ground level position.  Make sure that the manufacturers instructions are read and adhered to diligently.

 

                        Be sure to drill it in to any children using the trampoline that they can have fun but must obey the rules. They should be made aware of the consequences that if the rules are not followed then accidents may occur and that the accidents can include not just bumps and bruises but broken bones and even more severe than that.  The rules are made to be obeyed and adhered to with no exceptions.  

 

                        It might be a good idea to print off a copy of some basic safety rules and get everyone to read them or have them read to them so they understand what is required.   Even taping a copy on to the apparatus would help.   

 

                        Let us consider a few basic points and rules.

 

-           there should only be one person on the trampoline at any one time unless it is a

            Large trampoline being used by athletes

 

-           do not jump off the apparatus.  This is totally unsafe and you should climb             down using the ladder if there is one

 

-             kids under 6 must not use a trampoline over 20 inches high and children must

              not play without adult supervision

 

-             avoid using the trampoline in inclement weather

 

-           remove all jewellery before climbing on the trampoline                   

-           check the apparatus on a regular basis for wear and tear

 

                        There are other do’s and don’ts concerning the type of activity you should and should not attempt like high jumps and anything remotely dangerous.  Trampolines used correctly can be loads of fun and give excellent cardio workouts.  Follow the safety rules and enjoy your trampoline.

Trampoline Exercising


Although when you first think about a trampoline your mind will automatically think of jumping and fun it is in fact an ideal piece of apparatus for building muscle and to lose unwanted fat.  Any woman recovering from pregnancy can use the trampoline to good effect.  It can also help people of a certain age with the renowned middle age spread.  

 

                        You might imagine that using a trampoline would not be much benefit to the older person but nothing could be further from the truth.  The trampoline is also a fun exercise for anyone to play with their young children and as for teenagers they can take some of their pent up energy and release it to good intent on the trampoline. Learning to exercise on the trampoline is difficult to do because it takes skill and people do think that this is more of an athletic sport than it really is.  This is certainly incorrect and trampoline exercising does have many benefits.    

 

                        The truth is anyone can benefit from a workout on the trampoline.  It is the very nature of the rebounding effect that can stimulate many parts of the body but in particular the glands.  Your muscles will need to work in a special way so as to absorb the shock of the contact with the trampoline mat.   Logically after more and more you use the apparatus then the better you get at it and the muscles will begin to tense and relax whilst waiting for you to move again.

 

                        To get started the best idea is to buy a trampoline that you can start learning with in your own garden or back yard.  Make sure you get a good one and do not buy a cheap one that may be dangerous.  Don not skimp on the money because it is simply not worth it.   An expensive one will be worth it in the long run if it is used regularly and playing on it can boost your balance and ability and will help to firm up muscle tone.  

 

                        To be scientific about these matters any exercise on the trampoline will be like pumping the body similar to the way the heart is kept in shape by the heart muscle pumping it.  By pumping your body the thyroid gland is affected and so stimulated as to clean itself and any stored fat contained in the lymphatic gland.  This is called cellulite. One of the most important glands is the thyroid gland and it is this gland that has a lot to do with our height and the growth of our body muscle.  The total workout on the trampoline and the reaction from the muscle asks the brain to

Get some fat from the thyroid controlled muscles. This is probably the most ideal way of ridding the cellulite from your body through exercise.   

 

                           To summarise, get a good trampoline that will not buckle with a few jumps.  Spend well and try the internet for best results.  Be careful, be safe and enjoy your trampoline exercise and subsequent weight loss.

Jumping on a Trampoline


Even though certain organizations are not keen on trampolines bring used for recreational purposes in your home or the back garden there is no doubt that this is a very good way of having fun coupled with a good amount of cardio exercise.  It does depend though on there being adequate supervision for the younger element and precautions such as safety pads and harnesses and the trampoline should be enclosed to help prevent anyone falling off.  

 

                        There are in existence two main types of trampoline and these are used for recreational and competition purposes.  The former are not as sturdy as the latter simply because of their different aspects of usage.  When using recreational apparatus you must take extra care for example regular maintenance and any tears must be attended to before anyone else utilises the trampoline.  Keep an eye out too for any rust.

 

                        Some of us of a certain age may remember when trampolines were introduced to us in those beloved PE lessons at school but the idea of trampolines could have been started as far back as the early twentieth century when certain stage acts utilised a type of bouncing bed which bore a considerable resemblance to the trampoline we know today.

 

                         A gymnast, George Nissen and a friend of his, Larry Griswold designed the first trampoline in 1934.   It was simply a stretched piece of canvas complete with grommets situated along each side and fitted to an iron frame by coiled springs.  However history tells us that according to circus lore an artist called Du Trampolin realised the potential form watching trapeze artists using a net to fall onto.  Whatever story you consider it was certainly the start of something that is so very strong today.   The word trampoline is now a household name.

 

                        Today the trampolines uses are manifold especially with the training of pilots and astronauts in variable body positioning. 

 

                        As a sport trampoline jumping became accepted as a sport in the 1980 Olympic Games and incorporated therein.  The purpose is to perform acrobatics simultaneously with jumping and bouncing on the trampoline.  Positions known as pike, tuck and straddle jumps will be familiar to you if you watch any competition. 

 

                        As an exercise and if used safely the trampoline can be a tremendous aid and fitness tool for people of all ages.  The medical profession see trampolining as a super activity because it uses every pert of the body.  We are told by Doctors that it is an excellent activity for therapies such as stimulation of the lymphatic system or white blood system.  Apparently the rebounding movements also help in the removal of toxins.   

 

                        Finally something for the totally dedicated sportsman and not the faint hearted is the latest innovation of trampoline jumping and the introduction of Bungee trampolines.  This is the world of extreme sports and the jumper attaches a harness to their waist connected to bungee ropes on both sides.   This in turn means that the participant can attempt various somersaults and other airborne acrobatics and aerobics whilst being catapulted up to 20 metres into the air.  All in all this is probably a lot safer than the traditional way on a trampoline as the harness can prevent injury from falls.      

Square Size Trampolines


Have you ever watched the Olympic Gymnastics and envied those trampolinists?  Obviously they have needed years of practice and dedication to get where they are today but what about a trampoline of your own.  Wouldn’t it be great to buy yourself one and just jump and jump for fun?  It may be too late for the next Olympics but you can still have great fun in your own backyard or garden.

 

                        So what happens now?   What sort of trampoline are you going to get. As it is going to be for recreational purposes only it might be a good idea to purchase a square one.  The bed will probably be made from a polypropylene material or it might have a waterproof canvas.  The frame will be steel or aluminium and springs are present to give elasticity.    

 

                        If you do want to try a career in gymnastics then you should get a competitive trampoline not a square one.  Square ones are not built as sturdy as competitive trampolines.  You will in all probability see circular, octagonal or rectangular trampolines but the square one is ideal for the backyard or garden. With rectangular ones there is a good deal of elasticity and probably too much if children will be using the apparatus.

 

                        With a square trampoline there is greater safety from jumping in that whereas rectangular and circular types give a great amount of bounce the square ones will not.  This means there is very little danger of the participant either missing the mat or alternatively getting thrown off altogether. With square ones it is easier to gauge the height of your jump with the mat having less elasticity.                        

 

                        Square trampolines have identical criss-cross springs as rectangular trampolines and these give you the control over the height of the jump.  Also, because of its shape it can give even more bounce.

 

                        With the majority of gardens and backyards being square or rectangle you can place it virtually anywhere you want subject of course to the standard safety measures like not near overhanging branches etc.                 

 

                        A square trampoline is also more advantageous than a circular one simply because although it takes up the same amount of space in the garden there is more jumping area to perform in.   

.                       There is no doubt that trampolining is a truly brilliant way of having fun and is great for your health.   Make sure you get the right trampoline and enjoy yourself every day of the week.  

Trampolining on Water!


Yes that heading is definitely correct.  There are such things as water trampolines and they are a fun and exciting piece of equipment to be enjoyed by all the family and envied by all your friends.  The water trampoline is similar to the standard run of the mill trampoline except its construction is from materials that float on water.  This is simply perfect for anyone living near a lake or an area with enough water present for hopping fun.  It is very sturdy and consists of a float tube, jump mat, frame and springs.  It will be sold with a ladder which is essential to allow you to access the trampoline from the water both at the start and in case you fall off and need to remount.

                        Size wise water trampolines come in various sizes from a height of 36 to 42 inches and a circumference of between 12 and 25 inches round.  Depending on the size of your family there will be a size to suit your needs.  Before you decide on a purchase make sure that the safety is paramount and that the quality is without parallel.  Everyone who uses the trampoline must have fun but must at the same time feel safe.

                        The trampoline should be constructed from the highest quality materials.  This should be PVC material and take care that the seams are reinforced preferably with a glue bonding substance. 

                        Your trampoline mat has to be the same size as ‘land’ trampolines and protected against wear and tear from usage and the elements like sun and water. Make sure there is a makers guarantee on the workmanship and that there is an adequate warranty should any defects be encountered.

                        Use a powerful inflator to inflate the item before use and deflate it after you have finished.   Once inflated and moved to the water make sure you anchor the trampoline in the water to prevent it from moving with the water.  The item should have been sold to you complete with an anchor and attachments especially for this.  

                        Also included in the purchase should have been a repair kit with instructions should any small hole appear in the trampoline. 

                        Remember to make everyone aware of the safety measures before nay jumping begins.  Accidents must be avoided at all costs but fun is definitely allowed.

Backyard Trampolining


If you want exercise and excitement look no further than a trampoline in your backyard.  It’s as simple as that.  It is excellent for regular exercise and they come in all sizes and styles.  The important thing to remember is consider what size can fit in so measure up before buying.  You should also consider what shape you will require and allow for movement around the trampoline when it is in use.

                        The three main types all come in varying sizes and are round, rectangular and square. 

                        The round one is basically designed so that the participant jumps in the centre of the trampoline.  The round trampoline is ideal for young children especially if it is fitted with a guard that will stop any falls from it. 

                        The rectangular one gives more space to jump on and its springs are fra more flexible thus enabling the person to jump higher.  This type of trampoline is favoured more by professional jumpers and non professional teenagers.

                        Thirdly is the square design. Similar in part to the rectangular one but without such a higher bounce to it.  Ideal for small children.  

                        Do bear in mind that any trampoline that is being used by a small child MUST have correct guards, and padded springs and above all ADULT SUPERVISION.   This is for safety reasons speaking of which you should be extra careful if the trampoline is wet as slipping and sliding can occur and accidents can happen.

                        Cost wise a trampoline can cost anything from under £200 upwards but it all depends on size.  A large rectangular one can cost up to £800.  Prices will and do vary from outlet to outlet and it is best to check a few prices before committing yourself to any particular one.  Take a look on the internet as prices are sometimes much less than a standard High Street vendor.  Work out how much you can afford and work to that guideline but don’t skimp in the sake of safety.  Safety is paramount.

                        So, you have decided to purchase a trampoline but are not too sure what you should look for.   Well in no strict order you should consider structure, mats, weightiness and warranties.

                        The structure should be sturdy and there is a preference for it to be made of aluminium.  This will enable it to be moved if it needs to be and it will not be too heavy.   Try and get some good mats as a badly made one is liable to cause injury if anyone falls through it. Before you complete any transaction make sure the manufacturer has provided a warranty against faulty workmanship and parts.  Finally pay strict attention to the weight restriction on the equipment with particular attention to the maximum weight especially if there is more than one participant at any one time.

                        To summarise enjoy your trampoline but make sure you and everyone who uses it or who is supervising its use knows the rules and regulations.  Happy trampolining.

Rectangular Shaped Trampolines


Apart from budget constraints there are several things to consider before buying a trampoline.  These can be size and shape and with the former this will of course depend on the amount of space available.   Trampolines can be utilised for both recreational purposes and of course for the individual who is serious about the sport or is a fitness fanatic.  There is any number of trampolines available these days and selecting the right one should take time and you should not rush out and buy the first one you see.   

 

                        Generally speaking trampolines have four prime parts to them.  These are the frame itself, frame pads, a mat and essentially the springs.  You can imagine the frame to be akin to the human body skeletal system because the shape is outlined and it provides support.  The frame pads give support to the frame and are a cause of protection for the trampoline user. Any accidental crash into the frame when you are using the apparatus and the pads will act as shock absorbers.  The springs obviously enable the user to perform the bounce which at the end of the day is what trampolining is all about.  The mat quite simply is the jumping area.  These vary in length and width.   When you purchase your rectangle trampoline pay detailed attention to all of these items and examine each of them very closely.      

 

                        When you examine the trampoline before buying ensure it has sturdy frame.  Get a durable frame which is thick.  If your rectangular trampoline is being used for training or perhaps competitive events then the thickness of the frame should be a minimum of 3.00mm.  If it is for recreational purposes only then 2.00 to 2.50mm should suffice.

                        The responsiveness of the bounce is down to the coil thickness and generally the bounce height in a rectangular trampoline is higher than other shaped items.  When buying rectangular apparatus pay attention to the thickness of the coil because the greater the thickness of the coil then the better bounce you will get from it.

                        Consideration must also be given to the mat and the frame pads.  The former should have sufficient strength to take an adults weight.  Ensure you take note of the maximum and minimum weight limits applicable to the apparatus.  Frame pads should be double checked for their thickness and width.  They must be able to protect the user and the frame.          

                        Finally as previously mentioned do not rush into purchasing any item such as a trampoline.  Study the internet for the best results as they give full descriptions of each and every item they have available and if there is no picture or description then simply ignore it.  Purchase magazines and talk to dealers.  Above all think safety at all times and enjoy your trampolining.   

Basketball Trampolining?


Trampolining is not everyone’s cup of tea and Basketball may not float your boat as the current expression goes but putting the two together does conjure up thoughts of fun.  If you go along to some of the outdoor play areas that are around you may come across one but why not buy one for your own garden. 

 

                        Purchasing a basketball trampoline is probably not as easy as you think but certainly worth the effort searching.  A real basketball trampoline is the same shape as a gymnastic trampoline that is long and rectangular. 

 

                        You will possibly come across a traditional rectangular shaped item with a basket at each end.  There are various different models and it is possible to get some that have a partition in the middle.  The drawback here though is that these are in most cases of a professional nature and as such fairly costly.  It might be possible to find a circular trampoline that will be sold with a basketball attachment.  At first glance they look like a regular trampoline that children would use but you can play basketball on them.  They are sometimes called a rebounder and can be found at certain stores although a separate basketball fitting may need to be purchased.      

 

                        Purchasing your basketball trampoline can be pricey so shop around and make use of the Internet.  Look at the various prices that appear and don’t simply buy the first one you see. On the internet you can get good discounts and possible free delivery.  It may be that the Internet is the only source if you need a large one.   Furthermore you can also find fun basketball accessories on the net.  Look at online auction sites to get the best results.  

 

                        Finally we have the safety aspect.  Only play basketball when the trampoline has an enclosure around it.  It is impossible and inane to play without an enclosure.  The enclosure will ensure that if anyone jumps high then they will stay on the trampoline and not finish up on the ground, possibly injured.

           

                        Play safe and enjoy every minute.

Trampolines, the Safety Approach


It is very doubtful that anyone will ever have an Olympic style and size trampoline in their back garden but whatever size you do have the first and foremost thought to go through your mind is that of safety.  A trampoline in the garden is an ideal way of ensuring the children and perhaps yourself of some good exercise.  During the past few years it is sad to report that the number of accidents associated with trampolining has increased.  This is definitely not down to the trampoline itself and certainly not the fault of the manufacturers.  It is down purely to careless jumping and lack of supervision which in some cases has been non-existent. 

 

                        Exercises performed at Olympic standards on an Olympic trampoline are one thing but garden trampolines simply cannot be used for this type of exercise.     

 

                        If you decide to purchase a garden trampoline make sure you do so from a reputable trampoline dealer.  Make certain it complies with British safety standards and if you are not sure then simply do not buy it.   If you are serious in wanting to learn all about trampolining then why not have lessons.  Basic knowledge is paramount when you buy and use a trampoline.

 

                        There are any number of exercises that can be performed on a trampoline and with luck the dealer may provide you with a manual that shows these to you in graphic form.  They include such movements as Straight Jump, Pike Jump, Straddle Jump, Seat Drop and several others.  These are all basic skill levels and will help you gain experience for later on. 

 

                        Whatever movements you make on the trampoline whether they are basic or advanced they should be made under supervision and you should ensure that only one person is on the trampoline when they are being performed.  The supervisor must stand at the side.  In competitions the contestant will do somersaults but for obvious reasons these should not be attempted on a garden trampoline.    

 

                        To reiterate trampolines can be dangerous if misused and sadly the latter can be due to adults as well as children.  Try and follow the following few basic safety precautions and your trampolining will be fun without tears.

 

            - no crawling under the trampoline

            - no jumping off the trampoline, climb down properly or use the ladder

            - do not allow children under the age of six on the trampoline

            - ensure the trampoline is situated well away from trees and branches

            - all children MUST be supervised 

 

                        Trampolining is great fun for all the family if these simple rules are adhered to.
