2. PHYSICAL AND EDUCATIONAL
BENEFITS OF TRAMPOLINES

3. Trampolines are just simply
loads of fun. The sheer joy of
leaping high into the air from
this bouncy surface has to be
one of the most exhilarating
feelings in the world.

4. And...be forewarned…if you
buy one for your kids, you
just might find yourself
bouncing around on it
wearing an ear-to-ear grin.

5. Best of all, playing around on
a trampoline offers a whole
bunch of physical and
educational benefits for kids
of all ages.

6. But it’s important to remember
that this activity requires adult
supervision and netted trampoline
safety enclosures are a great
addition to keep jumpers from
bouncing off and getting injured.

7. DEVELOPMENTAL JUMPS

8. The younger your little one
starts bouncing, the faster
you’ll see an improvement
in balance, coordination
and muscle control.

9. The visual and body
control gained from this
exuberant exercise comes
in handy in the classroom
as well.

10. KEEPING OFF THE COUCH

11. Trampolines are so much
fun that you won’t even
have to nag your kids to
get off the couch and go
outside and play.

12. They’ll be doing
something that’s good for
them while improving
stamina, coordination,
balance and flexibility.

13. Better yet they’ll be doing it in their own backyard
under your watchful supervision.

14. Trampoline time is
endlessly entertaining
and kids never get tired of
it because there’s always
a new trick to learn.

15. SUPER WORKOUT

16. Leaping about on a trampoline
is a great cardiovascular and
muscular workout, which
means it works all the
important muscles in the body
including the all-important
heart muscle.

17. Muscle tone and heart health
improve, while the resulting
increased metabolism burns
calories like crazy.

18. There is also far less stress on
the body than that caused by
running or jogging and even
the least athletically inclined
child can benefit greatly.

19. SPORTS BOOST

20. Trampoline workouts
can be enjoyed by kids
of all shapes, sizes and
athletic abilities whether
they’re into organized
sports or not.

21. However, for youngsters who play other sports,
exercising on a trampoline can serve as:
Great cross-training exercise
Improving basic skills and enhancing attributes
like balance, rhythm, coordination and agility
That serve young athletes well across the board.

22. Many athletes, including
skiers, divers, gymnasts
and cheerleaders
regularly use
trampolines as part of
their fitness training.

23. BOOST FOR BALANCE
AND COORDINATION

24. Jumping up from a
constantly moving surface
and landing upright on two
feet can be a challenge to
the body.

25. Kids who regularly play on
a trampoline quickly
develop improved balance
and coordination.

26. Centers of gravity constantly change on this moving
surface requiring jumpers to be aware of their center
of balance the whole time in order to stay upright.
A skill that transfers well to other activities.

27. MOTOR SKILL DEVELOPMENT

28. Motor skills also get a
big boost as the brain
has to function
bilaterally in order to
bounce with both sides
of the body in unison.

29. Forcing left and right
sides of the brain and
body to work together
to maintain balance
and coordination.

30. AID TO ACADEMIC SUCCESS

31. Believe it or not, jumping on
a trampoline is linked to
improved academic success.

32. Jumping on this wildly
moving surface requires
that kids work to control
their body’s movement,
thus learning muscle
control and coordination.

33. This learning pattern helps
kids learn in other areas
as well.

34. GROWING SELF ESTEEM
AND PERSEVERANCE

35. Learning how to jump up
and down on a trampoline,
throwing in some aerial
tricks and then landing
steadily on your feet can
be challenging.

36. Mastering these skills
leads to improved self-
esteem, perseverance
and self-confidence.

37. Because it is so much fun,
kids stick with the
bouncing even when tricks
are hard to perform…

38. … and they have a great
time learning that if you
really stick to it, you can
succeed in almost anything.

39. These lessons transfer
beautifully into academic
performance and life
experiences in general.
