The possibilities are almost limitless
I workout for approximately 60 minutes on a daily basis. While I attempt to switch up the type of exercises, the sessions can become rather repetitive. I occasionally go for a run or a bike ride. Sometimes, if weather allows, I will swim laps or kayak. Most days, I stick with my home gym & perform a series of lunges, squats, burpees & mountain climbers. I include various kinds of ab crunches & some weight lifting. I almost always jump rope for twenty to thirty minutes & like to add several balance exercises. For Mother’s Day, my son gave me a mini trampoline. It has added a very different element to my workouts. I had no idea what wonderful exercise jumping on a trampoline could be. I am using new muscles & coming up with all sorts of interesting means of using the trampoline to my advantage. The initial few sessions, I was sort of awkward on the trampoline. I was scared of falling off & stuck to jumping with my feet together. I eventually added jumping jacks, side to side jumps & twisting jumps. I worked my way up half turns & 360 turns, high knees & tuck jumps. I’ve also placed my palms on the ground & my feet on the trampoline to do plank holds and pushups. I can also jump my feet in & out & side to side. I will sit on the trampoline with my feet up & bounce on my butt to target abdominal muscles. The possibilities are almost limitless. I have such fun jumping that time goes by quickly. I am motivated to get better, find new skills & I like the results I’m seeing.
