Trampoline exercise 'part of anti-cancer lifestyle'
23/03/2010 A nutritionist attempting to live an "anti-cancer lifestyle" for a year is using a trampoline as part of her efforts.
Conner, who lives in the south of France, has created a plan of healthy eating and exercise to show that busy people can still take the steps needed to reduce the risk of them developing cancer.
In a blog on her exercise plan for the year, Conner said that she was going to limit the amount of time spent sat in front of the TV or computer and make an effort to do 30 minutes of exercise five or six days a week.
"For those of you who aren't aware, regular exercise is a key aspect of cancer prevention," she explained.
Among the aerobic activities she is undertaking are trampoline exercise, jogging, cycling and indoor rowing.
Conner said that she will be keeping a fitness diary to follow her progress. She also stressed that anyone looking to take up a similar routine should contact their doctor first.
Other benefits of trampoline exercise include improved muscle tone, coordination and balance, as well as increased stimulation of the lymphatic system.
