Excess weight is one of the most common problems that humanity has been struggling with for centuries. Back in the 19th century, Lord Byron exhausted himself with hour-long runs, wearing a thick suit for better sweating. These days, weight loss programs are offered by gyms and fitness clubs.
And yet, at the height of the summer season, the number 1 sports discounter “World of Sports” receives streams of letters asking how to get rid of the maximum number of kilograms in the shortest possible time.
We answer! One of the most
- safe
- useful
- effective
Ways to do this include trampolining, which we will discuss on this page.
An hour-long workout on a trampoline for weight loss (according to World of Sports experts, as well as from the point of view of many sports doctors in our country, near and far abroad) is more productive than an hour-long run or similar duration exercises in the gym. Trampolines, presented in the widest range on the World of Sports online showcases, are suitable for both sexes, people of any age, and also have significantly fewer contraindications than running or barbells.
We are asked:
Maintain personal balance
Among wellness trends, self-care is coming to the fore.
According to statistics, nervous breakdowns and depressive states are being diagnosed in 35% more people compared to last year. Therefore, the main thing that all adherents of a healthy lifestyle care about is the search for personal balance. This means that it is important to spend less time on social networks in order to give up like addiction and learn to take a break from everyone. Experts advise not to be afraid to travel or go to a restaurant alone. This will help not only relax, but also find harmony with yourself.
What are the benefits of sports for the female body?
The benefits of regular physical activity are as follows:
- Figure correction. The opinion that a good figure comes from nature is wrong in 90% of cases. In fact, this is the result of persistent and painstaking work on oneself. Fitness helps create sculpted arms, rounded and toned buttocks, a flat stomach and graceful legs. Women who regularly attend group fitness classes note the elasticity of their body skin and the absence of cellulite;
- Losing excess weight. Systematic attendance at classes not only helps you lose extra pounds, but also strengthens your body muscles. When the muscle fibers of the body are sufficiently developed, the body requires much more energy expenditure to operate them. The stronger they are, the less fat deposits accumulate. Aerobics also helps burn excess fat, giving the body a degree of stress that requires a lot of effort and energy. When natural energy runs out, the body begins to use up body fat reserves. This is why sport is so beneficial for a beautiful body;
- Fitness is very important for the female body also because a trained body returns to its previous shape much faster and better after childbirth;
- Sports activities have a positive effect on the sexual sphere of a woman and her partner. After hard training, the fair sex's hormonal levels change. At the same time, the body relaxes, and this is very useful for complete satisfaction in a couple;
- If we evaluate the benefits of sport in relation to psychology, we can use as an example getting rid of complexes associated with appearance or figure. It seems that the gym is visited only by models or athletes with an ideal figure. However, in fact, in such establishments there are many women of non-standard build who came to struggle with their own shortcomings, and not to evaluate others. Sport has a particularly positive effect on self-esteem when the first results appear;
- In addition, fitness helps in the fight against stress, it relieves tension and calms the nervous system. Sport can cure depression and give you a great mood, despite fatigue after exercise;
- Exercising strengthens the immune system and improves a person’s physical fitness. Its endurance increases, the cardiovascular system is strengthened, and coordination of movements improves. Physical activity also develops flexibility, joint mobility, gives special grace to movements, and correct posture to the silhouette.
Dressing for WFH

WFH (work from home) is a special dress code that has become a new trend for people whose office has become their home (and there are more and more of them since the beginning of the pandemic). Working from home in pajamas, a robe or stretched sweatpants is not a good idea. WFH is comfortable, but not too formal clothing, in which you can conduct a Zoom meeting or write a quarterly report much more productively.
Advantages and disadvantages
Pros of jumping:
- A fun and accessible sport, both children and adults really enjoy jumping on a trampoline. Almost everyone has such a dream, and now it’s easy to realize it.
- A simple but very effective sport for maintaining physical fitness and shaping your figure. Jumping on a trampoline for weight loss perfectly develops all muscle groups and the vestibular apparatus, trains coordination, endurance, and promotes rapid weight loss. During training, you get a lot of physical activity, but you hardly notice it.
- Strength and cardio exercise, combined with complex coordination exercises, are the main training factors that are required for adults to maintain good physical shape. Jumping on a trampoline provides them simultaneously and fully.
- Suitable for people of any build and physical fitness. Anyone who does not have the following health contraindications can jump on a trampoline: poor vestibular system, back disease, endurance training is prohibited.
- Excellent emotional release. Jumping on a trampoline is a source of vivid positive impressions. Adults, being on a trampoline, rejoice just like children. They get the opportunity to unwind well emotionally, forget about pressing problems and get completely new sensations, such as a sense of freedom, flight and control of their body.
Disadvantages of jumping:
Fortunately, almost all of them can be avoided with proper training.
- A dangerous sport. A trampoline is a very treacherous apparatus for those who do not know how to jump on it correctly, so classes should only be accompanied by a trainer, otherwise there is a high risk of injury. While in the trampoline room, you must follow the safety rules, which you will be told about from the very beginning.
- It takes time for the body to adapt to the trampoline. More precisely, adaptation of the vestibular apparatus is needed. At first you may feel dizzy, you may feel nauseous, all this is very individual. Children and many adults do not face such problems at all.
In addition, when jumping on a trampoline, you must control your body well, feel it in the air, understand at what moment you need to straighten up or, conversely, bend over so as not to fall. It will take several training sessions and a lot of concentration to get used to it.
But each time you will begin to feel more confident and free, you will stop being constrained and will begin to experience not fear from jumping, but pleasure. However, with a long break in classes, this skill will disappear.
- It's difficult to organize a safe workout. In trampoline centers there are many trampolines, they are located next to each other, and naughty children find the opportunity to jump from one to another, which is prohibited by the rules.
All trampoline centers are equipped with foam pits where you can jump from trampolines. This pit is very convenient for learning acrobatic jumps. But if you jump there from a trampoline without following safety rules, as many inexperienced people like to do, then there is also a high risk of serious injury.
Stay in vegan hotels

Not only hotels where the menu offers original dishes made from vegetables and cereals are called vegan, but also those where materials of animal origin - wool or silk - are not used in the interior. So-called second-city travel is especially popular.
This term denotes a holiday that is different from the usual urban tourism. You should not choose the capital of the country with the most famous attractions, but small cities where you can truly feel the local flavor.
Why is jumping so effective for losing weight?
When jumping, the whole body is exposed to shaking. Blood circulation accelerates - the body receives a large influx of oxygen, which starts the process of fat burning and cellulite elimination. When running, swimming, skating and other sports, the body is not subjected to such strong shaking, which means the blood in the body circulates more slowly and oxygen is supplied in less volume.
When jumping, even under conditions of strict training with precise execution of the exercises, a person experiences joy and his mood rises. This is due to the release of adrenaline.
And the released hormone of joy relieves fatigue and depression.
Stick to clean eating

Clean eating is another trend that all healthy lifestyle followers are following. This term means a conscious approach to food and an emphasis on organic foods that are as rich in vitamins and nutrients as possible.
It’s even better if it’s local food with minimal processing. This is a new level of healthy lifestyle, which followers of healthy eating pay special attention to. For example, the global trend is alternative (or plant-based) milk. It can be used to add to smoothies, coffee or breakfast cereal. Second in line is alternative flour. Not so popular yet, but actively gaining momentum.
What is fitness jumping?
This training program was developed in the Czech Republic more than 10 years ago, but it reached its peak of popularity closer to our time. The name fully justifies the method of loading (jumping means “jump”).
Jumping fitness is a unique direction that is suitable for people of any age and gender. It is a combination of strength and aerobic exercise combined into one effective program. Jumping fitness classes do not require special clothing; only comfortable sneakers are considered mandatory.
The equipment for such fitness is a special small trampoline with a built-in handle. It creates a pushing effect, which significantly reduces the load on the joints and lower back. This is one of the main advantages of such training.
In addition, jumping fitness on trampolines forces the body to constantly balance, which improves the coordination of body movements. After all, thanks to active jumps, stabilizer muscles are activated, which are very little involved in regular training.
Don't forget about time for yourself
In the modern world, when every person has a job, family and children, it is difficult to find time for yourself. But adherents of a healthy lifestyle are sure that without Me Time it is impossible to maintain mental health.
It is important that dates with yourself are beneficial. This could be a workout for health, not for a figure, a beauty bath or meditation.
What exercises are best to include in your workout?
We dare to competently assure you: the range of exercises that should be performed on a trampoline for adults and children, men and women, can be no less diverse than a strength training program in the gym. But there are exercises recommended specifically for those who are starting to practice trampolining for the first time.
Start with warm-up and preparation. You should not treat a trampoline purchased to improve your figure solely as entertainment. Think of it like a sports machine, where you can lose up to 1000 calories per hour of intense training, and in a month lose 10 kg.
Trampoline training for weight loss is preceded by jumping rope. This greatly helps prepare the leg muscles for long-term exercise. So, just a few minutes of jumping rope. A long rest, and then - welcome to the trampoline!
The first exercise is performed with the arms extended at the seams. Jump for 5 minutes and as you move up, raise your arms to the ceiling or sky. Purpose of the exercise? Very simple. You need to learn to keep your balance.
The next exercise during trampoline fitness classes will be more difficult. All the same! Almost! Jumping up with arms raised. However, now you need to try to do the splits. That is, at the moment of landing, stand not on closed legs, but on standing ones at a distance from one another, then group yourself and try to jump up from this position, closing your legs in motion and... landing on the splits again.
This exercise will help you burn significantly more calories!
Jumping on all fours? I'm not kidding. Push off the trampoline with your knees and elbows and fall... straight onto your stomach. And then take the starting position again and fly up as far as possible. Very tiring! Is not it? But for those who want to lose weight in a short time, it is useful, and even necessary.
Jumping with knees raised. Have you already learned to keep your balance? In this case, it is very important to diversify the trampoline exercises for weight loss by jumping with knees raised. The arms remain extended along the body. Initially, this exercise will seem very difficult, but it helps to provide you with strong abs and strong legs.
These four exercises are enough to see results in a month. We sincerely wish you good luck, and finally we would like to touch on a very important topic.
Use additives

To feel good even while in the rhythm of a big city, real health workers closely monitor their diet. They also use various supplements to saturate the body with useful substances and look good even without makeup.
Among the most common dietary supplements are collagen, chlorophyll, Omega-3, hyaluronic acid, and adaptogens.
Guidelines
Nowhere on the official jumping website is there any information about contraindications to the exercises. On the contrary, quite often it is recommended for rehabilitation after injuries, or for certain joint problems.
But, it should be taken into account that training in this fitness area takes place in a rather intense mode, which quite possibly can have a negative impact on existing diseases, for example, the cardiovascular system and nervous system. People with back and cervical injuries, pathologies of blood vessels and respiratory organs, diabetes mellitus, and pregnant women should be especially careful. In these cases, it is best to consult with your doctor and be sure to warn the trainer about your health problems.
Give up alcohol

If you want to live like true adherents of a healthy lifestyle, you must say goodbye to alcohol forever. And the point here is not even about harm to health, although not without it. When you drink a glass or several, it's like you're taking credit from yourself.
By liberating yourself, you become who you want to be. But in the morning the harsh hour of reckoning comes. Challenge yourself and forget about alcohol as if you don’t want it at all. To avoid being completely sad, replace millet with kombucha - and life will sparkle with new colors.
Trampoline safety
To avoid serious injury, the following precautions should be taken when using a trampoline:
- you need to land in the center of the net, avoiding the edges;
- before training, it is necessary to inspect the trampoline for damage and the degree of tension of the net;
- during classes there should not be any foreign objects on the net, as this is fraught with injury;
- You can’t exercise on an aerobic trampoline together, firstly, you can injure yourself or your partner, and secondly, the effectiveness of such exercises will be very doubtful.
