What are the benefits of
jumping?
|
| A.
|
Safe, fun exercise that helps
improve balance, coordination and lung capacity as well as burn excess
calories. It gives our children a healthy, fun activity in the safety
of their own backyard. Jumping 10 minutes gives the same aerobic benefits
as jogging a mile.

| Q.
|
Hopefully I will only need
to buy one trampoline. What do I look for in a safe trampoline that
will last until my kids are grown?
|
| A.
|
A frame that is built of heavy
galvanized pipe, for a durable and rust-free life. Thick safety pads,
covered on both sides with heavy vinyl so they are reversible for
a longer life expectancy. A mat constructed of #1 grade permatron
trampoline material for a smooth, durable, long lasting mat. Springs
that are galvanized to prevent rust (some people recommend "painted"
springs, but they rust quickly). Finally, compare warranties. If a
trampoline is as great as the company says, it should be backed up
by a great warranty.
