Keeping Cool in an Indoor Trampoline Park
It’s 95 degrees in the shade, and you’ve seen every blockbuster movie out for the season. The kids feel waterlogged from spending so much time in the pool, but you don’t want them spending the whole summer indoors playing Minecraft either. What can you do to keep everyone active, get them out of the house, and enjoy the summer?
There are lots of great reasons to get active this summer – and one great place to do it: Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Park, the only indoor trampoline park in Winston-Salem. Let’s look at some of the benefits to spending your summer bouncing.
Physically Active Kids Get Better Grades
A number of reputable studies show that kids who perform well on physical fitness tests also perform better on academic tests. While it’s also important that kids stay up-to-date on their studies during the summer by reading regularly, taking them to the trampoline park once a week or more can help them stay in shape all year round, too.
Kids Need at Least 60 Minutes of Activity Daily to Stay Healthy
You’d think getting your kids off the couch and on their bikes, scooters, or skateboards for an hour a day would be easy, wouldn’t it? Kids today aren’t like we were.
Technological distractions, from video games and iPads to thousands of movies and TV shows at children’s fingertips, hinder physical activity and make it a fight to get some kids to go outside and play. What’s worse, studies link increased screen time with obesity, poor health, and even depression and social anxiety.
While organized sports during the school year encourage activity, it can be harder to keep kids moving during the summer without paying thousands of dollars for an expensive outdoor summer camp.
Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Park provides fun play that keeps kids moving for hours at a time. With our dodgeball court, basketball hoops, and more, trampoline jumping can be as structured or unstructured as you’d like. Organize games for them to play, see who can jump the highest, or just let them bounce to their heart’s content.
NASA Studies Show Trampolining is Superior Exercise
In a study seeking the best form of exercise for space-bound astronauts, NASA discovered rebounding – that is, trampoline jumping — is the most effective and efficient form of exercise. Ten minutes on a trampoline has the same health benefits as a 30 minute walk. And the hour your kids spend on the trampoline will fly by because they’re having so much fun.
Trampolining also improves coordination and balance. This is especially important in younger children, whose gross motor skills are still developing.
If your kids are already the active type and are involved in sports, trampoline jumping may improve their sports performance. It offers practice using multiple muscles and limbs at the same time, which can help them shine on the soccer field.
