Place a Trampoline at the Heart of Your ‘Back Garden Gym’
0 Comments | Posted by Daniel Coysh in 14 Trampolines
The Daily Express newspaper has recommended trampolines as the central component of the “back garden gym,” citing their unparalleled strengths as fitness boosters.
Hailing the trampoline as “the ultimate piece of garden gym equipment,” it pointed out that trampolining brought with it a huge range of health benefits, such as strengthening muscles and bones, boosting the lymphatic system, increasing the metabolic rate, toning bodies and reducing flab, and sharpening motor skills.
The paper also noted that trampoline fitness routines are kinder to the bones and the joints than other forms of exercise such as running because 80 per cent of any shock is absorbed by the trampoline itself.
Personal trainer Dan Roberts explained how to begin with a simple, yet effective, cardiovascular workout, saying: “Start by lying down flat on the trampoline and without using your hands, try to build up momentum so you can stand up.”
He said that this was “great fun, yet frustrating.” Once an upright position had been attained, jumps on the trampoline should be varied, with jumps alternating between landing on one’s feet, seat, front or back.
Trampoline jumpers should attempt some body shapes while in the air or, if they are feeling really energetic, attempt the “ultimate calorie-burner” – repeating thirty second bursts of jumps followed by another 30 seconds of on the spot jogging
The Express recommends the Jumpking OvalPOD Trampoline for the narrower garden, or the TP Star Trampoline for bigger areas of land. One thing is for sure, though – whatever trampoline you choose, the many health benefits are undoubted.

Charity Campaign Pushes the Health Benefits of Trampolines
0 Comments | Posted by Daniel Coysh in 14 Trampolines
Jumpkings trampolines supplier Trampled Underfoot has teamed up with the British Heart Foundation (BHF) for a year of charity work emphasising the many health benefits of both trampolining and exercise in general.
The Bouncing with Health campaign aims to raise awareness among British people that trampolining is a fun way to keep fit and avoid heart disease, as well as one of the most effective ways to battle the growing scourge of child obesity.
NHS figures show that this year some 19 per cent of 2-15-year-olds in England will be obese – nearly double the figures 15 years ago. The statistics also show that 35 per cent of all UK children will be either obese or overweight by the end of the year.
“For children, the great thing about trampolining is that it’s fun! But, more than that, it has unique health and fitness benefits,” said Trampled Underfoot managing director Julian Pollard.
“As a heart and lung exercise it is 68 per cent more efficient than jogging. Its low impact nature means that it is great for building up bone and muscle in young children. Finally and uniquely, it stimulates and cleanses the body’s lymphatic system, helping rid the body of toxins, trapped proteins, bacteria, viruses and waste cells.”
BHF new business and community partnerships manager Paul Charge added: “Only one in eight young people in this country are getting the 60 minutes of physical activity a day recommended by the Department of Health.”
“We have our own initiatives to combat the growing problem of childhood obesity and encourage children to think more about the amount of physical activity in which they can participate. We are pleased that Trampled Underfoot is supporting us in helping promote the benefits of physical activity.”

Evening Standard Highlights Trampolining Health Benefits
0 Comments | Posted by Daniel Coysh in 14 Trampolines
The London Evening Standard newspaper has hailed the unparalleled health benefits of the trampoline, describing the experience of trampolining as “a must for a workout.”
Reporter Liz Hoggard became a convert to the fast-growing world of home trampolining after visiting a friend’s home in Wales. Previously she had been reluctant to do more than the most sedate forms of workout – walking, light swimming and a little Pilates – but came away from Wales convinced that time on the trampoline was the perfect form of exercise for increasing the metabolic rate and getting a real cardiovascular workout.
She wrote: “As I propelled myself higher and higher, I felt a rush of pure pleasure. My heart was pounding — in a good way. I was breathing deeply, cheeks flushed. When I finally clambered off, I felt like I’d had a major workout.”
Back in the Big Smoke, she sought out a trampoline that would fit her small south London garden, eventually settling for the JumpKing OvalPOD, which measures eight feet by 11 feet. It was easy to erect and is hardwearing enough to be left outside uncovered all the year round, Ms Hoggard reported, adding: “by afternoon I was bouncing enthusiastically, much to the bemusement of my three cats.”
She was soon to find out that trampolining is the most effective full-body aerobic and cardiovascular exercise that can be had, some 68 per cent more efficient than jogging and much more fun. It is a low-impact exercise, which protects joints such as the knees and keeps bones strong – as long as you don’t follow Ms Hoggard’s example and leap straight off it to the hard ground at the end of a session.
She pointed out that as well as the exercise benefits, vigorous trampolining helps to detox the body by increasing oxygen availability and enhancing body fluid circulation throughout the body.
A three-year-old girl in County Durham was jumping for joy recently after police found and returned her prized trampoline.
The 12-foot trampoline was stolen from little Lana Elliott’s back garden in Sherburn Hill on the Sunday night of 28 April.
The distraught girl was left in tears when the theft was discovered the following day, and her mother, customer services advisor Amanda Carr was forced to call Durham Constabulary.
Fortunately, this story has a happy ending. With a missing trampoline in the neighbourhood, police were quick to jump to it and recovered it from a nearby address on the Tuesday afternoon.
Amanda told local newspaper The Journal that her daughter regained the spring in her step once she realised her beloved trampoline had been rescued.
“She was absolutely devastated, but when we got it back she was over the moon. A big smile just came on her face,” she told a reporter. And Ms Carr also revealed that little Lana was addicted to jumping on her trampoline.
“She would be on it 24/7 if she had the chance, she just absolutely loves it,” she said.
“I’m just glad it’s back now. I’m so pleased they got it back. I wasn’t expecting to see it again. The only thing that is still missing is the enclosure, so it’s not safe for her to go on by herself. But Lana is happy and that’s all that matters.”
James Cowell, of Durham Constabulary told the paper that Sherburn’s neighbourhood policing team located the stolen trampoline following a tip-off. An arrest was made soon afterwards.
“This is an excellent example of the community working in partnership with the police, to provide intelligence in the detection of crime within the village,” said Sgt Dowell.

Trampoline Inventor George Nissen Dies at 96
0 Comments | Posted by Daniel Coysh in 14 Trampolines
Trampoline enthusiasts around the world have been honouring the pioneer responsible for making their sport possible – gymnastics champ and inventor George Nissen.
Nissen was the mind behind the modern trampoline, and he passed away on 7 April at the ripe old age of 96 at a hospital in San Diego.
He became a champion gymnast while still at school in Iowa, as well as a top diver. Later in life he was well-known for his signature handstand – something he remained capable of well into his 80s.
But the event that was to make him famous among trampoline enthusiasts was a visit to the circus in the 1930s, where he marvelled at the gravity-defying feats of trapeze performers. He was struck by the way they managed to rebound from the safety nets and somersault upwards. Soon afterwards, he set up a prototype trampoline in his parents’ garage and eventually made a working model using scrap metal and canvas, with the help of his college gymnastics coach Larry Griswold.
The first hint that Nissen might be on to something was the rapturous reception that his invention received at a nearby YMCA camp, but it was after he left college that he began promoting it in earnest. While competing in Mexico City as part of a diving squad, he found the perfect name for his contraption – simply by adding an ‘e’ to the Spanish word for springboard, trampolin, the modern trampoline was born.
Nissen set up his own business, manufacturing and selling trampolines alongside regular gym equipment. His international travels took him everywhere, where he promoted the trampoline enthusiastically. At one point, he bounced atop the Egyptian pyramids, and once even took to the trampoline with a live kangaroo!
But his ultimate ambition was to make the trampoline an Olympic sport – and he lived to see his dream come true at the Sydney Summer Games in 2000.

UK Trampoline Champs Stranded by Ash Cloud
0 Comments | Posted by Daniel Coysh in 14 Trampolines
The flights chaos caused by the volcanic cloud emanating from Iceland has scuppered thousands of travellers’ plans – including a pair of gymnasts from Northampton who were all set to travel to Bulgaria for the European Trampoline Championships.
As all flights in and out of UK airspace were banned by air traffic control company Nats for the fourth day running, disappointed gymnasts Steve Walsh and James Higgins issued a desperate plea for a coach company to rescue their chances of success in the trampoline championships, which take place on Friday in the Bulgarian resort of Varna, which lies on the Black Sea Coast.
The two virtuosos belong to Northants Trampoline Academy and they train at Benham Sports Arena, Moulton Park, along with their coach, Tracy Whittaker-Smith. They were booked – along with 10 others – to fly to Bulgaria this week. Thanks to the ash cloud that is still covering northern Europe, their dreams are in jeopardy.
This year’s European Trampoline Championships is the 22nd event of its kind and was originally scheduled to take place in the Bulgarian capital Sofia. The five-day event was moved to Varna last autumn, partly because of the resorts excellent reputation among tourists as a sunshine getaway and because of its sporting history.
The championships will feature tests of skill and dexterity with trampolining, tumbling and the double mini-trampoline. It is the first championship event since the most powerful trampoline to be certified by the Federation of International Gymnasts – the the Eurotramp 4×4 – was introduced into proceedings.
The UK team has been training hard for the event, attending a training camp in Bath at the end of March followed by a four-day preparation competition.
What are the Advantages?
A trampoline is very useful for keeping active and fit. Its not just a boring day at the gym its a fun and enjoyable activity. There are different types of trampolines. They vary mostly in size. There exist huge trampolines that can keep several people at once or mini trampolines.With a number of different research efforts, it has been established that jumping on trampolines can help improve health. Now there are currently numerous trampoline exercise programs that people could adopt and learn for fitness purposes. If you are aiming to maintain and improve your overall physical being, you could start doing so by getting into a fun trampoline exercise program. You would also be amazed at how the activity can be so much fun and at the same time beneficial to the overall health of the body.
Benefits for your body
trampoline activities hep improve blood flow in your body-It does this by helping increase the availability and use of oxygen in the body. When oxygen supply is improved, expect that blood circulation would greatly improve in all important parts of the body.
Every muscle in the body is moved or exercised-trampoline exercises are different because they do not benefit specific muscles, but instead target the whole muscular system. The act of rebounding, jumping and keeping balance when doing the trampoline make up for this advantage.
I received the 14 foot band big jump trampolines from my husband as a birthday gift, My first thought was “what on earth do I want a trampoline for” But once the trampoline was erected in our garden which took no time at all to do. I couldn’t keep away, I soon found my trampoline feet and before I knew it I was quite an expert and I found my fitness levels grew and I started to lose weight by doing a few simple exercises like bouncing to Straddle and Pike jumps and on busy days I found as little as 10 minuets helped and all while having fun fun fun. After 6 months My husband decided to check the trampoline for any defects due to the excess use and he found no faults whatsoever, I found the delivery men used by trampoline sellers very pleasant and helpful and my husband was delighted with the price and the free delivery (although he won’t tell me how much he paid) Our Children are hoping to receive the safety net from Santa Clause this year so that they can also join in the fun on their own rather than be supervised, I have recommended your product to all of my friends and the children are hoping their friends receive a trampoline this Christmas then they can have trampoline parties.
