If you're someone who is interested in working out at home, rather than in a gym, but perhaps struggles with finding the motivation to break a sweat every day, it's important to choose a workout that you'll find to be fun. When you buy a foldable exercise trampoline — which you can easily store under a couch or your bed — you have the foundation of a challenging and fun workout, all without having to leave your home. There are all sorts of trampoline workout videos that you can find and follow online, and you'll generally notice a big change in your physical health in these areas.

Cardiovascular Fitness

Many workout enthusiasts use exercise trampolines as a way of improving their cardiovascular fitness. If you find that you're short of breath after going up and down the stairs in your home a couple of times in short succession, or perhaps after playing with your kids for just a few minutes, it may be time to improve your cardio. While change takes a bit of time, you'll soon notice that through your up-tempo trampoline workouts, you have far more cardiovascular endurance during everyday activities. This is especially true if you use the trampoline on a consistent basis.

Core Strength

There are a number of ways that you can work your core muscles, including isolation exercises such as planks and crunches. Trampoline exercises are also a valuable way to improve the strength of your midsection. Each time that you jump, you're tightening the muscles in your core, and this can provide them with a solid workout. Many people seek to build their core muscles in an effort to appear physically stronger, but the value of strengthening this area is beyond skin deep. A stronger core supports better posture, which helps with back pain.

Muscle Targeting

Jumping on a trampoline is a full-body workout if you make a point of moving your upper body. One benefit that you'll experience is being able to target certain muscle groups that you want to build. You'll obviously be giving your lower body a good challenge, but if you want to build stronger shoulders, for example, holding small dumbbells and raising your arms as you bounce can be effective. Or, if you want to increase the challenges to your lower body even more, you could strap a pair of ankle weights to your ankles and try any number of different lower-body movements.
