Outdoor play 'a great way to get in shape'
04/02/2011 Families have been urged to use their outdoor play activities, such as trampolines for the garden, as an entertaining way to enjoy exercising outdoors – combining fitness with fun.
According to the Garden Tips blog, the backyard is the ideal place to start a household fitness regime, with both grown-ups and children able to grab a slice of the action.
While children enjoy the benefits of outdoor play with trampolines for the garden, parents can burn calories working on the lawn and tidying up the flowerbeds.
"Even something as simple as planting flowers involves squatting, which engages your legs for support, your core muscles for balance, and your arms and shoulders for digging. You are working out without even thinking about it," it explained.
Last week, trampoline-with-enclosure.org stressed the importance of buying trampoline safety nets when investing in outdoor play activities to get the kids exercising.
Writer Cedrick Stokesp said that trampoline safety enclosures are of paramount importance when letting youngsters loose on their bouncing apparatus.
