7 Fun Springfree Trampoline Exercises
Who remembers jumping on trampolines as a kid, getting pinched by springs or bruises from the metal frame? We certainly do. At C&C Courts, we believe that trampolines are excellent for getting more exercise into your day. However, there is a better way than jumping on an old, dangerous trampoline.
Springfree trampolines are safer than traditional trampolines, while still providing the many health benefits of jumping. With a springless trampoline, the frame is situated underneath the bounce mat, keeping it at a safe distance from your limbs. The trampoline gets its bounce from flexible poles instead of springs.
With safer options, you can incorporate fun Springfree trampoline exercises into your day, which can promote muscle tone, cardiovascular health, weight loss, and an improved immune system. Start your trampoline exercise routine off with 30-60 seconds of warm-up jumping, then do each move for 30-60 seconds. As your fitness improves, you can add more time to your exercise routine.
1. Star Jump
The Star Jump exercise is fairly simple. You start by standing straight with your feet together and arms at your side. Jump into the air so you get enough height to create a star position with your body (arms up, legs spread) at the top of your bounce. Land with your legs straight, putting you back at the starting point.
2. Swivel Hips
This exercise will help your abdominal muscles. If you’ve ever performed a wall sit or a chair pose in yoga, this exercise is similar but more dynamic.
Start by standing straight with your feet together and arms at your sides. Jump up, moving your legs forward into a sitting position. Bounce on your bottom with your legs straight out in front of you and your palms down, fingers pointed at your toes. After the bounce, perform a half-twist and land facing the opposite direction.
3. Straight Jump
For a basic exercise, perform the straight jump. You start by standing with your feet together and your arms raised over your head. Jump in the air, holding your body straight with your arms up, and keeping your body straight as you land.
4. Seat Drop
Similar to the swivel hips, the seat drop includes standing straight to begin, then jumping in the air and swinging your legs forward. Land on your bottom with your legs straight and your arms out in front, palms toward your toes. As you bounce up, return to the starting position.
5. Jumping Jacks
If the star pose is too easy, make it more challenging by doing jumping jacks on the trampoline. Start in a standard jumping jack position, legs together and arms at your sides. As you jump, stretch your legs to the sides in a jumping jack while clasping your hands over your head. Land straight as you would with a regular jumping jack.
6. Pike Jump
Start by standing straight with your arms at your sides. As you jump, point your legs out, keeping them straight and moving them parallel to the mat. Reach your arms and point your fingers to your toes. Land standing with your legs straight.
7. Half and Full Twist
Start by standing straight on the trampoline with your arms at your side. As you jump, turn in the air, facing the opposite direction for a half twist, or 360 degrees for a full twist. Land straight with your hands at your sides when performing a half twist or full twist.
