Mini Trampolines: A Great Exercise Option For Inactive Kids?
Denise Nero

It seems that not a day goes by when there isn't yet another article about the growing obesity problem facing many of our children. TV, computers and video games have become so enticing that it is often difficult to motivate children to be active and burn off some of that excess energy.

Trying to get your kids off the couch? Let them jump on a mini trampoline

Are you concerned about your kids sitting around the house too much? Do they spend their day watching TV, playing video games or surfing the net? Are they turning into couch potatoes? As a parent you know how hard it is to get your child to do something good for their health. Heck, you probably haven't been able to get them to eat carrots since they were toddlers, how are you supposed to convince them to go to the gym, or for a run. The key is finding an exercise that they enjoy, so they will continue to exercise and make it a lifetime habit. This is where the mini trampoline comes in.

Do you remember how much fun you had jumping on the bed as a kid? The Mini Trampoline, or Urban Rebounder lets your kids have the same fun experience without ruining your mattress or getting hurt from a fall off the bed.

The mini trampoline is one of the most versatile pieces of exercise equipment. You kids can jump on it in front of the television, or outside, and when it's not in use, it easily fits in a closet or even under the bed.

Let's look at some of the benefits of working out on the Mini Trampoline

It's a low impact form of exercise
Burns more calories than jogging
Improves circulation
Gives you a great cardio workout
Strengthens your legs and thighs
Improves balance and coordination
Its very portable
Above all, it is A LOT OF FUN!!!!.

Don't think rebounding is just for kids. You'll get a great workout out of this as well. The mini trampoline is perfect for your entire family and a great investment in your health and fitness as well. It helps you burn fat and calories fast, but also works great when it comes to strength training. Your biggest problem will be to get a turn to work out. (We suggest you wait until the kids are in school).

When you are shopping for a mini trampoline look for a model with six legs. It will be a lot more stable than some of the cheaper four legged models. If you're just starting out and also as an extra safety precaution, look for a model with a stabilizer bar.

We suggest the Urban Rebounder at http://www.fitnessandkids.com/urban-rebounder.html. You'll receive the complete kit including the stabilizer bar, carrying case and workout videos. Everything you need to get you started.
