Last year, my husband told me that he thought we should get a trampoline for our sons. I told him that I thought the boys were too young and that he must be crazy. He talked me into it, however, and now that we have it, I have to agree that he was right. The boys took to it right away.
Then, they convinced me to get on it as well. Here I was, an over 35 year old out of shape Mother, jumping on a trampoline for the first time in my life. There were times when I thought I had lost my mind completely, but seeing how much fun my sons were having jumping with me pushed all negative thoughts away. Never mind that this was supposed to be my children's trampoline- it was now a family trampoline!
We began spending more time on the former childrenas trampoline each day. Soon, I noticed that I was feeling better. My jeans began to fit better. An athlete all my life, watching my muscle tone fade slowly away with age and child bearing, the destruction of what was once strong was depressing. Watching things get back into shape though, was a rush!
The time we spent on the trampoline grew longer each day, until the children and I would be up there bouncing away for over an hour at a time. It was fantastic! Not only did the activity wear my sons out a bit, but they too were growing stronger and healthier.
I have received some fantastic benefits from exercising on the trampoline. The muscles in my legs grew stronger, and that allowed me to get back to working with horses. I also managed to tighten up my abdominal muscles, and the weight I had gained from having children began to disappear. Running around after the boys was much easier, and I even had to buy a whole new wardrobe!
My sister finds it hilarious that my first trampoline came along under the guise of being our children's trampoline. Since she has never seen the benefits, or experienced the pure joy of playing with kids on a trampoline, I tell her not to knock it until she tries it.
Our trampoline is still in good shape, but I have recently thought about upgrading to a bigger one. The boys are getting bigger and starting to outgrow this one, and some of the newer ones come in rectangular shapes, which have more room to learn some tricks. Sounds like a blast!
Is thirty-five too old to learn to jump on a trampoline? Heavens no! I think everyone should learn to jump, and experience the joy and health benefits first hand. It is a great stress reliever, muscle builder, and fat burner. The cardio-vascular benefits are amazing as well. My entire family would encourage anyone to go and get a trampoline! - 15995
