fitness equipment


The trampoline is not only fun to jump and do flips on but I think it is also an important piece of fitness equipment. Whether the trampoline is being used in your own backyard or the gym it represents a great way to get fit. 

When I was growing up my family had a trampoline in the backyard. My parents bought it because they thought us kids would have fun playing on it. They were absolutely correct. The trampoline became a neighborhood draw for the kids all around the block. 

My sister took exceptionally well to the trampoline. For her it became a piece of fitness equipment as she became more and more involved with tumbling, gymnastics and cheer. She was able to practice her sport at home. She shared a lot of what she learned with the rest of us and held little classes with all the neighborhood kids on that backyard trampoline. 

When my sister participated in gymnastics she did real well, her favorite being the floor routine. My parents always boasted how the backyard piece of fitness equipment, IE: the trampoline, made all the difference for my sister's expertise. Perhaps they had something there!
