We get it, getting your child active can be a struggle. If your child bounces off the walls the second they step in the door after school, learning to manage this energy can also be a challenge. One solution would be going to an air adventure park, but why not let your child literally bounce off the walls safely in your backyard with trampolines in New Jersey from Pleasant Run Structures.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, children ages 6 to 17 should get at least an hour’s worth of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day. One of the easiest ways to get your child active is to exercise with them. Grab a soccer ball and kick it around with your child or teach them how to ride a bike and take a long ride with them.
However, if you’re backed up on work you weren’t able to complete during your 9 to 5 day, interacting with your child on a backyard trampoline might be the next best option. While your child is burning off energy safely jumping on a Springfree trampoline from Pleasant Run Structures, you can finish making those important phone calls you couldn’t do at the office.
If you’re ever envious of the fun your child is having, you can climb in with them and enjoy the fun. Trampolines made by Springfree are safe enough for people of all age groups to use and can be a great way for mom or dad to blow off steam and help you minimize your own stress.
And don’t worry, trampolining is considered a low impact exercise, so you don’t have to worry about your bad knees or back. In fact, a trampoline mat absorbs 80% of the shock of every jump. Jumping alongside your child can be a perfect way to reconnect with them after a rough year with COVID-19.
The CDC also suggests children do activities that strengthen their bones 3 days a week such as jumping or running. Having a backyard trampoline makes this extremely easy to accomplish. Children should also do activities that build muscle 3 times a week, so bouncing around like a goofball will help your child build and tone their muscles while having fun.
Trampolines also help teach your child balance and coordination. With their arms flailing in the air, children begin to recognize where their center of gravity is and how to move their body to maintain balance. Coordination is a key component to learning hand-eye coordination that may come in handy if your child wants to do sports such as soccer, baseball, or field hockey.
Since your backyard will be equipped with trampolines in New Jersey, it will be the perfect spot to plan special events such as a birthday party, or maybe even have your child’s classmates from school come over for a day of fun activities once the COVID-19 health situation becomes a little clearer.
With the pandemic approaching its end, it’s important to get your kids out and active before school picks up in the fall. Summer is perfect in the Northeast, and what better way to enjoy it than bouncing up and down.
