The perks of a trampoline workout are profound.Did you know that bouncing on a mini trampoline has amazing all-over toning and body-renewing benefits? According to Structural Integration/Alignment Specialist, Lauren Roxburgh, the renowned author of Taller, Slimmer, Younger, rebounding is incredibly effective.

Lauren avers that trampolining brought her body back to shape after giving birth to two babies, moreover, she sees its results every day in her list of clients. Here are some six best results from 15-20 minutes of trampolining, as shared by Lauren Roxburgh:

Unwinding

It is been noted that a few minutes of bouncing on a trampoline at the end of a busy day, can make a big difference to one’s health and happiness.

 This fun, yet very important exercise can help increase blood flow to underutilized muscles while loosening and releasing overused ones. At the same time, trampolining helps the body release endorphins (the brain’s natural calming aid/ feel-good hormone)

 As one bounces, relaxation comes naturally with each bounce, thus helping to clear the mind and decrease body tension.

Supporting the Pelvic Floor for (Sexual) Health

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that essentially form a hammock-kind of formation across the base of the pelvis, thereby supporting the internal organs above it.

Why is the pelvis floor so important?

•  Having strong and flexible pelvic floor muscles helps control the bladder
• Enhances orgasms
• Stabilizes the hip joints

 Studies indicate that approximately one in four women in the US suffers from urinary incontinence as a result of a weak pelvic floor.

This a loss of bladder control which happens while either coughing, sneezing, laughing or having sex.

Although this medical condition can be attributed to other medical reasons for example pregnancy, menopause, and stress, the major problem is a result of a weakened pelvic floor.

This condition is also closely related to sitting too much, a situation that is made worse for moms after child birth.

Lauren testifies to experiencing a very positive impact while trampolining, thus re-building healthy tone in her pelvic floor and core after child birth.

She also discovered that many of her clients have had similar results i.e. activating and toning the pelvic floor muscles as a result of engaging in 15 to 20 minutes of bouncing a day.

Her general advice is for one to check with their doctor first if they have any serious pelvic floor issues that may affect their ability to exercise.

Keeping ones Balance

Trampolining is also a good exercise for improving balance and proprio ception- the ability to sense the orientation and position of one’s body.

When one stands on one leg with their eyes closed, proprioception is the process by which the body send messages to the leg to make the continuous micro-adjustments, thus helping one to stay upright.

Since one is actively engaging the ocular and inner ear canal as they bounce on a trampoline,this helps improve:

•  Balance
•  Timing
•  Coordination, and reaction time

All these activities are very critical for just about everything we do in life!

Builds Strength

Did you know that bones are made of living tissue which is continually being worn-out and replaced?

 Bouncing on a trampoline produces up to 2-3 times straight-up gravitation, which helps in strengthening traction for our bones

 Unlike most forms of weight-bearing exercise, trampolining has very low impact, thus gentler on joints, cartilage, and vertebrae. Consequently, clients who are already experiencing bone mineral loss and other forms of degenerative health challenges, are still able to continue exercising gently on a trampoline, without worsening their medical conditions

A study in the Journal of Sport and Health Science observed the bone structure, size, and strength of twenty-nine female trampolinists.

Interestingly, the findings showed that those jumping on trampolines had “greater bone density area, microarchitecture, and estimated bone strength than others not

Have fun

Trampolining in Kenya is really so fun! It goes without saying that when something is fun, one is more likely to do it regularly.

Lauren found that 15 to 20 minutes of bouncing on a trampoline is such a fantastic way of bouncing away the troubles and issues of the day.

Within a few minutes of trampolining, one feel like a three-year-old!

Trampolining couldn’t be easier: One can easily tune-up some favorite music, jump on a trampoline, and start bouncing-the flow will naturally come.
