Here is a question: What do your 5-year-old, Goldie Hawn and astronauts have in common?

Well, not sure. Great hair? wonderful Life? Cool costumes?

Incorrect. They all like to bounce on the trampoline.

For the first two, this makes sense. But what about the astronaut? Do not. I have seen the movie "Gravity".

People who are weightless will not bounce-except that they may slowly bounce from the walls of the spaceship into the orchestral waltz soundtrack.

It was 2001: A Space Odyssey. In real life, astronauts are bound to bounce. When they are on earth, this is the sport of their choice. After joining hordes of home fitness warriors and discovering the fun of the mini trampoline during the lock-in period, I understood why.

It is true that you have walked out of confinement and faltered. Tell me more.

As early as 1980, NASA scientists conducted research on the fitness benefits of trampoline training.

They compared it to running on a treadmill-as NASA, they went to great lengths to ensure accuracy and even provided the same sportswear for all participants.

The researchers concluded that "rebound exercise is the most effective and effective form of exercise designed so far." A 10-minute vigorous bounce burns more calories than a 30-minute run.

Jump jack flash! Tell me more about the ups and downs of elastic exercise.

Since that revelation, NASA astronauts have been using trampoline exercises to increase bone density and muscle mass, and improve balance, coordination, motor skills, and aerobic performance. There is a theory that bounce also helps the lymphatic system.

Running and rebounding-what's the difference?

In addition to better burning, jumping is also a high-intensity exercise with lower impact. Trampolines can absorb vibrations, thereby reducing joint pressure and reducing the risk of soreness and injury.

So Goldie likes to jump. Who else?

Britney Spears, Kate Beckinsale. Eva Longoria carries her mini trampoline (which may double as a diving board) on her yacht. Madonna warmed up before her performance. Tony Robbins used one to stimulate the engine before taking the stage.

I want to bounce, but I am not going to buy a trampoline-the ceiling is very low!

Trampoline studios have sprung up all over the country. You can go to class.

It seems that I am about to start my exercise plan.
