A trip to a trampoline park can help to improve the health and wellbeing of your team!
Trampolining isn’t just fun, it’s good for you too. Exercising regularly not only improves physical health, but mental health as well. And, unlike most other forms of exercise, it doesn’t feel like hard work yet it’s still effective. Bouncing on a trampoline or in a trampoline park can burn up to 1000 calories per hour! Read on to find out more about some of the surprising benefits that visiting an indoor trampoline park can bring to both your body and mind.
Exercising on a trampoline is three times more effective at burning calories than jogging whilst being lower impact on your joints and limbs. Just ten minutes on a trampoline burns as many calories as half an hour of jogging. The bouncy surface of a trampoline is much kinder on the joints that experience a lot of stress and impact when running, such as your knees and ankles. Stop plodding along the pavement and start bouncing instead, it’s a low impact activity that provides you with high impact results!
Research has shown that there is a positive link between physical activity and improved mental health, and what better way to exercise than in a trampoline park!
Exercise can help to reduce stress in the body and release endorphins. These are your bodies feel good chemicals, so you’ll happily come back for more bouncing! So take a break from your screens and social media and go for a bounce! A couple of hours in a trampoline park will tire you out whilst having fun at the same time, helping to improve your sleep and mood.
Bouncing is a great way to improve your coordination and balance, as well as increasing your spatial awareness. Trampolining requires balance and adjustments of the body to stay in the centre of the trampoline and get a good bounce! The other activities found in trampoline parks - like the wipeout zone, battle beams, assault course, or reaction wall – all challenge your reaction times, physical ability, balance, and strength in different ways.
Every jump uses multiple muscle groups. Bouncing requires the muscles in your glutes, legs, back, and core to be tensed and relaxed repeatedly, giving you a full body workout, promoting overall muscle development and toning, and increasing your strength over time. It’s also an aerobic exercise, so your circulation is greatly improved. As you jump, your muscles contract and help the heart push greater quantities of oxygen around the body. So you’ll feel fitter and better in other areas of your life after time spent in a trampoline park!
We’ve found the cure to growing older! Or slowed it down at least… because jumping works in unison with your body’ natural detox system - better known as the lymphatic system, the system responsible for removing dead cells and toxins from the body. Exercising in a trampoline park stimulates lymphatic circulation, promoting a healthy metabolism and helping to burn fat more effectively.
Visiting a trampoline park isn’t just for kids, it’s the perfect active day out for everyone and makes for the perfect corporate event venue. It’s a great way to break the ice and there are activities suitable for all ages and abilities, not just trampolines! Indoor trampoline parks often have obstacle courses, airbags or foam pits to jump into and practise tricks, battle beams to challenge your friends and family, or reaction games to test your reflexes. Whatever your age and ability, there is an activity for you that will leave you with a big smile on your face.
Swap the office for the obstacle course, spreadsheets for somersaults, admin for activities, and enjoy a fun-filled day out at an indoor trampoline park! The perfect venue for sober socials and corporate team building events with a range of different activities to suit everyone and the physical element and fun environment helping to break the ice.
