Mini trampoline exercise 'not just for the young'
11/06/2010 Exercising on a mini trampoline is not just an activity which can be undertaken by young people, one blogger has suggested.
The 61-year-old male said that many people are shocked when they discover that the secret to his fitness is jumping on a mini trampoline, also known as rebounding.
Writing for Healthy Life Tips, he said that he feels like he's 29-year-old and looks like he's 40-years-old.
He suggested that older adults should start by doing just a couple of minutes on a mini trampoline each day, while those in better shape were advised to start slow and build up to around 20 minutes each day.
"Just a few minutes a day for seniors can invigorate them," the blogger explained.
"In today's troubled times…rebound fitness is just the coping tool you need to lower your anxieties," he added.
Trampolines are known to have a number of health benefits for people of all ages. Regular exercise will increase balance, coordination and muscle tone, and stimulate the lymphatic system, which helps rid the body of toxins.
