Trying to Get Your Kids Off the Couch? Let Them Jump on a Mini Trampoline!
by Denise Nero

Are you concerned about your kids sitting around the house too much? Do they spend their day watching TV, playing video games or surfing the net? Are they turning into couch potatoes? As a parent you know how hard it is to get your child to do something good for their health. Heck, you probably haven’t been able to get them to eat carrots since they were toddlers, how are you supposed to convince them to go to the gym, or for a run. The key is finding an exercise that they enjoy, so they will continue to exercise and make it a lifetime habit. This is where the mini trampoline comes in.

Do you remember how much fun you had jumping on the bed as a kid? The Mini Trampoline, or Urban Rebounder lets your kids have the same fun experience without ruining your mattress or getting hurt from a fall off the bed.

The mini trampoline is one of the most versatile pieces of exercise equipment. You kids can jump on it in front of the television, or outside, and when it’s not in use, it easily fits in a closet or even under the bed.

Let’s look at some of the benefits of working out on the Mini Trampoline

• It’s a low impact form of exercise
• Burns more calories than jogging
• Improves circulation
• Gives you a great cardio workout
• Strengthens your legs and thighs
• Improves balance and coordination
• Its very portable

Above all, it is A LOT OF FUN!!!!.

Don’t think rebounding is just for kids. You’ll get a great workout out of this as well. The mini trampoline is perfect for your entire family and a great investment in your health and fitness as well. It helps you burn fat and calories fast, but also works great when it comes to strength training. Your biggest problem will be to get a turn to work out. (We suggest you wait until the kids are in school).

When you are shopping for a mini trampoline look for a model with six legs. It will be a lot more stable than some of the cheaper four legged models. If you’re just starting out and also as an extra safety precaution, look for a model with a stabilizer bar.

Useful Trampoline Accessories

Posted on by

There are many accessories for trampolines; some of the popular trampoline accessories are covers, safety nets, ladders, anchors, tents and spring tools.

Weather covers protects the frame pads, material and stitching on the mat of the trampoline against UV rays. They are used to protect from sun, rain, snow, and debris, as well as to indicate it should not be used at that time.

Trampoline nets, also known as trampoline enclosures, are designed to add extra safety to 14-foot trampolines. The nets are constructed with zinc tubes and a tough polyethylene net. Trampoline safety net systems come in a variety of options to fit most round trampolines, rectangular trampolines, and even octagon trampolines.

Easy access for all ages can be provided with a trampoline ladder.

Anchors, or tie down kits, are required to prevent trampolines from getting blown away in windy conditions. Strong screw threads drilled into the ground and straps attach the frame ring to the leg supports. A tie down kit includes four metal anchors that screw into the ground, and webbing straps which attach to the trampoline frame. Straps are easily detachable from the anchors, allowing you to move the trampoline.

Spring tools help you fix springs on your trampoline easily and without causing damage to the mat.
