You’d be jumping mad to miss out on the benefits of Air Fit. Read on to discover what makes its success a fitness fact, rather than a fad.
Bouncing on a trampoline isn’t just for kids. Air Fit by Holmes Place is an energy-packed group class that puts the fun into functional training. You’ll bounce your way through a guided workout on your own individual trampoline. Only, it won’t even feel like a workout. It’s really that much fun. Still unsure? Here are more good reasons to try Air Fit:
1. Full body workout: Air Fit is a high-intensity, full-body workout that guarantees to moving and grooving throughout your session. This class squeezes as many techniques as possible into each class to help you reach your goals.
2. It can go from 45 minutes to 1 hour: Seriously - that’s it! Build up a sweat, get your heart pumping and shed unwanted calories under one hour.
3. Fun for all: It’s impossible to do this class without a huge smile on your face. Bouncing is adrenaline-driven so it’s only natural that you and others will fall out of sync or make a few mistakes. But it’s all part of the fun - you just jump back on and find your rhythm again. Nothing can compare to the childlike feeling of bouncing and laughing away the strains of the day (even if your pelvic floor isn’t as strong on a trampoline as it used to be).
4. It gives you rhythm: Music for Air Fit is designed to keep you motivated. It gives you every reason to want to bounce, jump, jive and turn. The pointed toe poses used are not dissimilar to simple ballet and Irish dance moves - you’ll amaze yourself with what you really can achieve to music.
5. Get the exercise done jumping: It's easier to get the full quota of daily exercise when you don't think of it as exercise. Air Fit will be the type of class that will make you workout hard without even noticing it.
6. Helps towards calorie counting and weight loss: jumping is not only a high-effective cardiovascular exercise — it's also a powerful ally to burn some extra calories.
7. Improves bone density: You might worry that bouncing on a trampoline could impact on your aches, pains and joint stiffness. But jumping on a trampoline can actually make our bones stronger due to the gravitational pull, acceleration and deceleration. Using the trampoline as your foundation eases the impact that squatting, running and jumping that can often cause injuries when performed on hard terrain. As with all health problems, do get advice from your doctor or personal trainer to ensure that this class is ideal for you.
8. Strengthens your core: The soft surface of a trampoline encourages you to concentrate more on your posture and balance, using muscles you might not know you have and ultimately, strengthening your core.
