Once you get on a trampoline and start jumping, you’ll start to notice a rhythm. You can take that rhythm to the next level by throwing in some dance moves. Encourage your kids to dance like nobody’s watching. Better yet, encourage everyone to watch and challenge them to a dance battle.
Jumping and playing on the trampoline have so many physical benefits and health benefits for kids.
1. Jumping up and down and running around with the resistance of the mat and springs is great exercise and helps to increase circulation and cardiovascular health by increasing the heart rate.
2. The uneven and constantly moving surface of the mat helps to increase balance and coordination and improve core strength.
3. Little bones are built under the pressure and stress of contracting muscles. With all the jumping and balancing needed to play on the trampoline, it is great for helping bones grow and increasing bone density.
4. The most important physical and mental benefit is all the fun and laughs to be had!!
