What piece of fitness equipment can a 9-month-old and a 99-year-old both use?
A trampoline, of course!
From the time a child starts to pull themselves up, they learn to bounce (often much to the detriment of the family furniture). A toddler trampoline can give any child an outlet for their seemingly neverending energy, especially when coupled with the ability to learn.
In juxtaposition, walking is typically the primary form of exercise for seniors. Although it is excellent exercise when there are no restrictions, it can become difficult as bodies age and movements become limited. Trampoline exercise for seniors is a unique, low-impact form of exercise that provides all of the health benefits of traditional exercise, but without the stress on joints and muscles that can sometimes make traditional exercising uncomfortable.
JumpSport Trampolines is unique in its ability to offer a fitness solution to everyone. From award-winning active-learning kids’ trampolines to an outdoor trampoline with basketball set for the active teenager to a fitness trampoline for parent who needs to fit in exercise when they can, JumpSport can help everyone meet their fitness goals.
Please join us for a panel discussion on Saturday night discussing Fitness for a Lifetime. Each panelist will offer their own perspective on fitness in their own lives, their family’s lives and what role fitness has played in their careers.
Krista Popowych, JumpSport’s director of fitness, is a well known Canadian TV fitness personality and has created child-focused DVDs; Irene Lewis-McCormick has written several books focused on women’s health as well as helped created a middle school curriculum using JumpSport’s equipment that is currently in use; Diana Kahaa, known as the Round Lady, is an author and successful YouTube personality as well as a cancer survivor whose fitness focus is roller skating and rebounding. The panel will be moderated by JumpSport’s own working mom, blogger and director of marketing & sales, Rachel Turkus.
In a addition to the panel we’ll have dinner, drinks, and four fun fitness stations set up — one with each speaker who will discuss the trampolines but also what else you can be doing to encourage exercise. Stop by the “selfie station” and snap a fun trampoline shot. The person who posts and tags the best picture jumping will win a JumpSport Fitness 250i Fitness Trampoline.
Use #FitBloggin and #fitTrampoline to enter throughout the reception.
JumpSport will also be hosting a lip sync contest after the meal judged by our panelists (Roni and Rachel will not be a part of the judging although they are open to bribes).
The winner of the lip sync contest will win an at-home-gym by JumpSport, which includes a 39-inch 350PRO Fitness Trampoline with PlyoFit PRO adaptor for upper body work and a 44-inch 570 Fitness Trampoline!
