Trampoline exercises 'don't hurt people's knees'
11/05/2010 Rebounding on a mini trampoline is a great form of exercise which does not impact on people's knee and joints, it has been claimed.
Discussing the exercise trend in an article for Reuters, Terrell Pruitt, a rebounding instructor for Crunch, said that the exercise can be versatile and fun, as there is no limit to the amount of moves people can try out on a mini trampoline.
"In my class we do sprints, running, jump rope style, lateral ski, and boxing moves, like jabs and hooks," he added.
Mr Pruitt went on to say that bouncing on a mini trampoline is less of a shock for people's knees than some other exercise forms.
Last week, the Health and Fitness Classes blog highlighted that the benefits of exercising on a trampoline can be felt within five minutes.
It added that people should gradually build up to doing 20 minutes of exercise a day on mini trampolines to feel the full benefits.
