Trampolines And Gymnastics ' Poetry In Motion

By Dave Vower

All kids love bouncing on trampolines ' and grown ups too. If your child is keen to start gymnastics, you should encourage him or her because this is a really beneficial form of exercise. As with ballet or judo, a child will develop discipline and focus with trampolines and gymnastics. Children as well as adults can start classes at any stage.

Most beginners start training on gym mats and sprung floors. You will first learn simple somersaults, tucks and cartwheels. As you progress you will move on to parallel bars and rings. The classes help you to develop the muscles needed for gymnastics, and how to master balancing. The ideal age for a child to start gymnastics is 3 or 4. Their bodies are very conducive to learning suppleness.

Beginner students are introduced to the trampoline by doing basic moves. They will also learn the basics of tumbling. Trampolines come in a variety of sizes. There are small, softer ones perfect for the beginner, and larger ones with a vaulting board which allow low-impact training.

A more experienced gymnast will do a lot of practice on a larger trampoline. This sets the pace for complex movements such as back flips and aerial somersaults. The more air-time one gets, the sooner you can start learning new skills.

Because trampolines have a sprung surface, they are safer to land on than a floor. There is less chance of getting RSI (repetitive stress injuries) when landing on a trampoline. When practicing, you can do many repetitions in a quicker time on a trampoline.

A trampoline at home is great not only for the aspiring gymnast, but for every member of the family. The gymnast can have practice sessions while mom, dad, brothers and sisters can get fit. A 14 foot built-in trampoline is ideal, but there are other sizes that are free standing. Even a mini trampoline is excellent for training and exercising. - 17269
