Trampoline exercise to become popular among men?
01/04/2010 More men could soon take up a trampoline exercise routine, as a new survey reveals many are self conscious about their weight.
The research by Marks and Spencer found the 39 per cent of men would be willing to sacrifice England's chances in the upcoming world cup to lose two inches around their waist.
Around the same number would be willing to give up alcohol for the rest of their lives.
Menswear expert David Waters said that men are becoming more open about their body image concerns.
"If you do lose a few pounds or you do look a bit slimmer, it probably gives you more confidence," he explained.
Mr Waters added that "as a nation we are getting bigger" and this is worrying more and more people.
Trampolines are recognised for their numerous health benefits, just one of which is weight loss.
Experts believe that jumping on a trampoline is one of the most efficient forms of exercise and is over 60 per cent more effective than running.
