Adults can benefit from either full size trampolines, or smaller ones known as "rebounders", designed to be used in home. Not only does gentle activity of bouncing on a trampoline strengthen voluntary and involuntary muscles, it helps bones to become stronger, and stay denser.

The aerobic activity involved strengthens heart, and provides you with many of same benefits as jogging, with less stress on weight bearing joints.

The "G" force, or effects of gravity in jogging, can actually increase impact on your feet, to a value that is equivalent to four times your body weight. Using a trampoline can reduce that stress by 80%, providing a safe, effective way to exercise for older adults, and those with certain physical challenges.

The Exercise Element

The bombardment of exercise advice is not subsiding, and won’t any time soon. But you just can’t pick and choose bits and pieces that you find convenient. On contrary, your regimen doesn’t have to be so structured that it will push you away. Common sense is king here, too. Getting exercise for your body doesn’t have to come at gym. It can be done in everyday places, doing everyday tasks:

• Take a walk in mornings or evenings. Stroll around neighborhood or local park.
• Take stairs when they are available. It’s not necessary to completely eliminate elevators, but you can walk a couple flights of stairs.
• Pushups and sit-ups. The old standards still work. Do as many as you can, and keep pushing yourself to increase it.
• Get off couch. Watching television is conducive to snacking on junk food. Do something constructive with your time.
• Buy a bicycle. Don’t drive if you don’t have to. Almost anyone can operate a bike. It’s fun and healthy for your heart.

Finding simple solutions are easy. It just takes a little common sense in your everyday life to get most out of it. Not everyone was designed to have six pack abs, but everyone can be healthy. Your body mass index, or BMI, a measure of health in relation to your weight, signals what medical conditions you are in line for. Break trend, just one habit a week. You’ll soon realize that you feel better and you’ll desire more results.
