It might be a snowy and wet winter, but that doesn’t mean it is time to pack up the trampoline!Staying in the house all season long can cause indoor fever that’s almost as bad as the whole family catching an actual fever. So, get all of that pent-up energy out by planning a fun afternoon outdoors with an all-season, Spring free trampoline. Below are some tips for winter jumping and making the most of your day.
Have the whole family dress in warm yet breathable clothes. Layering cotton works well, whereas wool or polyester can heat up too much while being active – especially with a winter coat over top. Tuck in any loose or hanging ends of shirts or pants underneath jackets and snow pants to prevent them from getting wet. Wear insulated and waterproof boots to protect those jumping feet.Eat a full, healthy breakfast with plenty of liquids to hydrate before an active day outside. Be sure not to drink too close to the time you’re heading out, or you’ll have head back in and take off all that gear far too soon.
An all-season piece of equipment like the trampolines for sale at Spring free Trampoline are built to last many years, and the high-quality construction is appropriate to leave outside all year ‘round. There are zero springs and no hard edges to fall on, plus they come equipped with mesh safety walls to prevent falls onto the hard-packed snow or grass.
When bouncing in the winter, clean any snow and ice that has accumulated off the trampoline mat first. Don’t use rough bristles or a shovel to clear off the trampoline because it could scrape or damage the material.However, you can use a brush or some old towels to clear debris like ice, grit, rocks, or salt from your boots before you begin jumping to protect the mat’s surface.
The trampoline is also a great,soft plane for making snow angels, fort-building, snow castles, and snow sculpting once the jumping is done.
Adults can enjoy jumping outside as a fun and refreshing winter fitness activity. You can burn an efficient amount of calories by jumping on a trampoline, and it’s an excellent way to get sun exposure and much-needed Vitamin D on those darker days.
When you’re done in the winter sun, have everyone remove their snow gear in the foyer or laundry room to avoid tracking snow and slippery puddles throughout the house. Hang wet coats and pants to dry, and place boots on a rack by the heater. Check for wet clothes and change into dry ones now that you’re inside for the rest of the day. Have a few sips of water before enjoying a post-bounce snack like crackers, veggies, or fruit, along with a warm beverage like cider or hot chocolate.
Turn your winter trampolining into a small party and invite the neighborhood kids and parents over for some safe, snowy fun in the backyard. They’ll appreciate the extra help getting their children out of the house to beat those boring winter blahs, too.
