how healthy is jumping on the trampoline?

Kyleigh

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?

Answer
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!

What are some great outdoor tanning tips?

Stella

I know you should spray water on your skin to help tan, but is there anything else I can do?

Answer
Try laying on a black towel, or if you have a trampoline, lay on that to tan.
Bring a big water bottle to keep hydrated.
This is going to sound weird but flip over every 45 minute, like a rotisserie chicken does when it cooking.
Stay outside until your the desirable color you want. Try a little low spf sunscreen or tanning lotion may help.
Good luck tanning. xx

Britt

I am having a dance party at night, followed by a beach party in the day. A photo booth and slushy machine for the night. And a water trampoline for the day. Not sure what else to do :(, please can someone give me some ideas . Can you give me some food ideas, and other stuff to do.

Answer
Bon Fires are great! They are easy and very entertaining, no decorating needed and affordable. Set up a table of snacks like pizzas, cup cakes, chicken burger or get a submarine from subway and drinks. or you can also do a "Red Carpet Party" for sixteens..... ;)

A 10-ft wide round water trampoline is floating in a pool measuring x ft by x ft. Find a polynomial for the re?

Marsha Mas

A 10-ft wide round water trampoline is floating in a pool measuring x ft by x ft. Find a polynomial for the remaining surface area of the pool

Answer
Supposing x to be greater than or equal to 10:

Area of the pool: x^2 sq. feet

Area of the trampoline: (Ï (10/2)^2) = 25Ï sq. feet

So the remaining area = x^2 - 25Ï sq. feet

(If x is less than 10, the remaining area can be calculated, but it becomes complicated because of the overlap of the trampoline on the surrounding land. The word "floating" suggests that x is not less than 10.)

What is the most effective and cheapest way to keep leaves and acorns off my trampoline?

Alex McMul

I have a trampoline but I live in the woods and I always have to clean it. I've heard of trampoline covers but do they work? Could I use a tarp? Anything else I could do?

Answer
Someone already mentioned trampoline tarps--it's a great way to keep off any sort of debris.

For already existing stuff, any kind of broom or rake will do the job just fine. A hose with good water pressure might be a good idea too if birds decide to use your trampoline for target practice--if they haven't already. You could use soap to really get it out (and I hear the slipping and sliding around is a small part of the fun), but I've also heard too much soap can damage the mat over time.

Hope I was of help! :)

What is the difference between a water trampoline and a water bouncer? 10 points for best answer!?

gymnast

I want to buy a water trampoline and was wondering the difference between a water trampoline and a water bouncer. I am a competitive gymnast and need a lot of bounce. My budget is tight. I do not want to spend over $400 dollars. Can you tell me which one is cheaper. Thanks for your help! it would be very helpful if you include links.

Answer
I swear I answered like 10 of these exact questions. A few by you. I don't get it. Why are you posting the same question over and over again? Anyway...

Q: What is the difference between a water trampoline and a water bouncer?

A: A water trampoline and a water bouncer have a few distinct differences. Water bouncers tend to be smaller, less expensive and also do not produce as high of jumps. This is because water bouncers have netting that is attached directly to the inflation tube whereas water trampolineâs netting is attached by springs to a frame which allows for higher bouncing and can support heavier weight loads.


Water trampolines and bounce platforms look very similar and indeed are similar. Both water trampolines and bounce platforms are have a bounce surface and both can be used for hours of fun. Attachments are offered for both water trampolines and bounce platforms. Attachments can include slides, logs and ladders. Water trampolines have a bounce surface supported by a steel frame and trampoline springs, bounce platforms have jump surface supported by a spring-less interlocking webbing connected from the floatation tube to the jump surface. Water trampolines can hold more weight and will have a higher jump compared to a bounce platform.

Bounce platforms are a great family recreational product and costs less then a water trampoline. It will support a good amount of weight and will provide a short bounce. Generally a bouncer will not require any assembly other then inflating and anchoring. A water trampoline requires assembling the framed jump surface. This will take about 30 minutes additional set-up time. Because of these differences water trampolines are generally higher priced then bounce platforms.

Is there a maximum distance from shore that I can put my water trampoline?

LUCKY

We have a cabin in Minnesota and I was wondering if there is a maximum distance from shore that you can put rafts or water trampolines? If so, does anyone know the distance? Thanks.

Answer
You need to provide more information. Are you planning to leave it there for the summer or just move it back and forth? If you plan to leave it there you'll need to mark it and light it in some way so that boaters will see the obstruction. You should also keep it clear of any navigation channels that might be near by. You really should ask this question of your local lake association. See if they have any specific rules. If they don't you still want to make sure you make everything as safe as possible, or they will quickly make rules as strict as possible to get rid of trampolines completely. If you place it off shore and someone runs into it at night, you will be legally liable for placing the obstruction out there. If someone simply comes along and tries using your trampoline, and hurts themselves, you will be legally liable because you left it there unsupervised. You need to be very careful how you proceed.

At least get it out as far as you want once and have a great time and enjoy your summer.

How to improve stamina for surf lessons?

great water trampolines image

lasm86

I've taken a couple surfing lessons this summer, but my stamina is terrible and I only lasted like 5 minutes in the water. The instructors recommended swimming laps a few times a week, but I haven't been able to do that because of my work schedule. Are there any other exercises I can do to improve my stamina enough to last at least 20 minutes out there, exercises that I can do anytime so that I can take another lesson in a few weeks?

Answer
the best thing you can do is go to the beach, even when it's flat and paddle, paddle, paddle. make sure, however, that you are using proper paddling technique. Outside of that any improvement of your overall fitness will help you in the water immensely. I would recommend some cardio training (don't groan!) because surfing is above all an endurance sport. If you're winded after 5 minutes of paddling then you need to increase your cardio capacity. run, bike, walk, do stairs, dance, jump on a trampoline, whatever. just extend the limits of your endurance by getting your heart rate up and keeping it up in whatever way agrees with you. walking or running on the sand is a great way to kick your fitness up quickly.

What are some fun but resulting exercises?

Katherine

I am in need to toning my body. I have lost so far 20lbs from the 40lbs I am planning to lose. However, now that I have lost a huge amount of weight since December, I need to tone my body such as my abs, inner thighs and other areas that require toning.

Could someone please help me out with this. If you could give me a list of foods that I should be or should not be eating.

Also, if you know of any face exercises I could do. that would be a great help. My face is a bit chubby and I dont know how to make it less chubby.

I appreciate your help with this as I am very serious about toning my body and taking more care of my body and health.

Answer
Trampoline. Either a big one or 'mini tramp'
Swimming if you know how or water aerobics. Biking.

No foods you cannot eat! Moderation & portion size are what counts.

Your face will get skinnier as you lose more weight ;}

Best wishes!
