Fun in the Sun with a Trampoline in PA

Now you can jump for joy! Research from NASA has found that working on a trampoline is even better than running. This Trampoline study was done by four scientists at NASA by the names of J.E. Greenleaf, E.Shvartz, A. Bhattacharya, E.P. and McCutcheon. The results from the study were published in May of 1980 in the Journal of Applied Physiology 49(5):881-887.

This is really exciting news because now you know the fun of jumping up and down on a trampoline is an even better exercise that running. If you happen to live in Pennsylvania you can enjoy the warmer weather by jumping around outside while having a great workout. A simple search on Google or your favorite search engine should tell you where you could purchase a trampoline. You just have to type in "trampoline pa" and it will tell you the retailers in the area.

It has been said that exercising on the trampoline for just 30 minutes can burn 160 calories. Doesn't that sound like a lot more fun than some of the other exercise methods you may have tried? It sure sounds better than walking on that old treadmill while watching the TV doesn't it?

Speaking of TV's, research has shown that children spend an average of 1,480 minutes per week watching TV.   A youth spends 900 hours per year at school but watches TV for 1,200 hours. That seems like pretty worrisome statistics; it appears that TV may be educating our children more than school. It's time to get the kids out of the house and back into the fresh air where they can have fun and do something more productive. A trampoline pa is a far better choice don't you think?

When you decide to purchase a trampoline pa make sure that it is built well for safety reasons. You need to be sure that you and your children will not be injured. Check the frame and make sure that the welding is done well. There should be no bubbling near the joints. You don't want the frame bending under pressure when you or the kids jump on it. Also make sure that the springs are set well into the frame and that they are sturdy. Do not purchase a trampoline pa that has elastic rather than springs as this might slip out and cause injury. Be sure that the springs have a good covering and last but not least, be sure that your trampoline has a good enclosure included and that the poles on it are padded.

Al you have to do now is set it all up and go out have some family fun!
