Trampolining
What is Trampolining?
Trampolining is a competitive Olympic sport in which gymnasts perform acrobatics while bouncing on a trampoline.
These can include simple jumps in the pike, tuck or straddle position to more complex combinations of forward or backward somersaults and twists.
Benefits
Trampolines and rebounders increase your muscles' strength and fitness and unlike some sports like jogging and tennis, trampolining or rebounding has comparatively low joint impact.
Equipment
You can take part in trampolining in any clothing you feel comfortable in.
