I have a trampoline and I love love love to jump on it, im overweight and i have been drinking only water, cutting back on what i eat, and making healthier choices. along with me doing walking will the trampoline help me in anyway?? thanks!


Answer
It really depends on what you are doing while jumping on the trampoline. You can certainly get some great exercise out of it. Like doing splits jumps or jumping and landing on your rear and going back into normal position in the air. You can get more advanced too like flips, but that is dangerous. Anything that gets your heart rate up and makes you break a sweat is exercise.

I wouldn't solely use the trampoline as a source of exercise though. It would actually be a good ending exercise to loosen up your muscles.

does anyone know where to get a cheap good quality water trampoline?

Feel free to check out the link above (or your nearest costco) but let me first say, after having a trampoline at the public pool I worked at- it spent most of the summer out of the pool.

First of all, its in water, and therefore even the best ones don't "bounce" like a trampoline, so they are really just large expensive platforms.

Secondly, they are great for "king of the hill" games, but not much else, since the push from diving off of them sends them across the pool behind you.

Knowing these limitations (and you may already have experienced one) then I'd say go for it if you really want one, they can be a lot of fun.

The first link is for a high-quality (but expensive) trampoline,
The second if for cheap deals, and low to medium quality.

Best of Luck!
