Trampoline sales up 70% 'thanks to celebrities'
15/09/2009 According to new research, sales of trampolines and trampettes have grown by more than three times thanks to celebrity advocates like Madonna and Victoria Beckham.
Both the full-size and smaller trampette versions of the springy favourite have seen an increase of 70 per cent year-on-year, according to Tesco Direct.
The rise in popularity of the trampoline has been demonstrated particularly this summer, with sales of ten foot and 12 foot trampolines rising by 355 per cent compared to the same period last year, reports the Associated Press.
Madonna and actress Gwyneth Paltrow have reportedly included aerobics on trampettes as part of their exercise regimes and Posh Spice is also apparently a fan of the practice.
Trampoline coach for British Gymnastics Anne-Sonia King, who also runs a trampoline academy, told the news provider: "I would definitely recommend trampolining as it increases strength and fitness of the muscles."
Heather Newing, health and fitness buying manager at Tesco said that trampettes in particular "seem to be taking off in a big way".
Ms Newing believes it is because they are a great way to exercise and lots of fun to work out on.
According to hrhandbags.com, trampolines are worth their weight in gold and are great fun to use while staying fit.
