Mini trampoline exercises are a great way to lose weight and keep you fit. But along with the exercises you should maintain a healthy diet as well. These exercises should be performed three to four days a week to achieve the best result.

To prevent injuries and muscle pull, do warm up exercises before starting to exercise on the mini trampoline. Warm up ensures that the muscles are ready to work. Cool down exercises after the workout help muscles wind down after hard work.

Warm-up and Cool-Down Exercises include trampoline contact bounce i.e. with your feet placed shoulder-width apart, bend your knees slightly and place your hands on your waistline. Begin the trampoline contact bounce very gently without your feet leaving the mat.

Foot tap is another good warm up exercise for the trampoline. Keep your body in the same position as for the contact bounce and shift your weight slowly to one leg. Tap your other foot to the side and keep bouncing steadily.

The best starting exercise is the lower body stretch. Keeping your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands behind your back, bend over as if you are trying to touch your toes. Hold for thirty seconds and repeat the movement ten times.

Floor Stretch is another very effective exercise. While sitting on the floor, keep your legs stretched apart and bend your upper torso by pulling yourself toward one thigh. Hold the stretch for thirty seconds and then repeat it on the other side.

Knee raise is the perfect workout for weight loss. To do the knee raise, raise one knee to just above the waistline while bouncing. Repeat the movement ten times on each side. After completing the exercise, go back to the steady contact bounce.

After exercising, it is very important to cool down. Cool down helps you prevent unwanted injuries. If you use this trampoline exercise program three to four times and keep healthy eating habits, you should start to see weight loss results in six to eight weeks.
