Mini trampoline exercises are a great way to lose weight and keep you fit. But along with the exercises you should maintain a healthy diet as well. These exercises should be performed three to four days a week to achieve the best result.
Warming up before exercise and cooling down after the exercise are important in order to prevent unwanted injuries. Warm-up ensures that your muscles are warm enough and ready for workout. Cool down exercises ensure that muscles wind down after hard work. Both warm up and cool down exercises should be done.
Warm-up and Cool-Down Exercises include trampoline contact bounce i.e. with your feet placed shoulder-width apart, bend your knees slightly and place your hands on your waistline. Begin the trampoline contact bounce very gently without your feet leaving the mat.
Another very effective warm up exercise is the trampoline foot tap in which you keep your body in the position used for the contact bounce and shift your weight to one side. Then tap your one foot out to the opposite side and start bouncing steadily.
Lower body stretch is the best exercise to start. With your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands behind your back, start to lower your torso as if trying to touch your toes. Hold for thirty seconds and repeat ten times.
Another effective exercise is the floor stretch. To do this exercise, sit on the floor with legs stretched apart. While keeping that position, pull your torso towards one thigh. Hold the position for thirty seconds and repeat on the other side.
Knee raise is the perfect workout for weight loss. To do the knee raise, raise one knee to just above the waistline while bouncing. Repeat the movement ten times on each side. After completing the exercise, go back to the steady contact bounce.
Cool down after exercises is important in order to prevent injuries. To achieve best results, follow this trampoline exercise program while keeping a healthy diet. If these directions are followed, you will start to lose weight within six to eight weeks.
