The trampoline is not just a fun toy. It is also great for fatloss and weight management. I have introduced a lot of people to this great training tool. It is convenient – right in people’s own garden – and it is fun. Everybody loves it. The greatest thing is that you can make quite challenging workouts while basically playing around.
I find that interval training is by far the most efficient way to exercise for fat loss on the trampoline. It is becoming well known among trainers that interval training is more efficient for fat loss than hour-long, steady cardio sessions that used to be prescribed. This is great news for people wanting to lose weight because you don’t have to spend as much time. On the other hand you do have to crank up the intensity. It can be pretty tough to push yourself if you are out there running or sitting on the bike but on the trampoline, you get your heart beat up there pretty quickly and you don’t even suffer as much when you have good program with variety. Trampoline exercise is not as monotonous as running or biking. Besides, when you have a program with good variation, you have to concentrate on doing the different drills which will take your mind off the heavy breathing and help you keep a good intensity for maximum results!
Even my clients who are a quite a bit on the heavy side soon find that the trampoline gives them an athletic feeling and makes them want to do more training. The springs on the trampoline help you not feeling so heavy. I use this fact on purpose when coaching because the “feeling heavy” part can be exactly what prevents you from getting started on an exercise routine. Then we just start out with safe bouncing and work our way up in intensity progressively.
Trampoline exercise is not only efficient for fat loss. When I was an Olympic moguls skier, I used the trampoline a lot for my off season training. In fact, the trampoline is a well known tool among world class skiers because it provides a way more functional basis than any cardio machine on the market. We use it for both our interval training sessions, spacial awareness and to train our jumps. When you train on the trampoline you can work movements in all planes: back-and-forth, side-to-side, up–and-down and get comfortable with your feet off the ground. Plus you automatically improve in coordination, stability and balance which are not bad bonuses.
Anja Bolbjerg is a former world cup moguls skier and two-time Olympic finalist. The trampoline was an important part of her off snow training - not only for the jumps but for balance, agility and interval training. Now a certified personal trainer, Anja Bolbjerg uses trampoline exercise to help other people reach their goals.
