We decided to get in touch with out inner child last night and went to the indoor trampolining. It was literally a room filled with huge trampolines. How cool is that? We spent 1 hour just plain jumping up and down, playing trampoline dodge ball, slam dunking (well trying to) flipping, jumping off things, onto things....just a whole lot of jumping!
It's been a pretty long time since I've been on a trampoline like this, probably back when I was diving. We had to practice a lot of our skills on the tramps at the stadium which would be a good 10 years ago. So as excited as I was, also a tiny bit nervous!
Getting back on the tramp definitely took a bit of warming up before I was comfortable to do anything but jump up and down. But slowly I did and was back to a couple of flips by the time our hour had come to an end.
If you haven't been to jump on a trampoline in a while, go do it! After 5 minutes we were all breaking a sweat and one of the chicks with us exclaimed how exhausted she was...55 minutes to go! But it really reminded me of the way kids view physical activity or sport. To kids, sport is so much fun. In primary school going out for sport was the best part of the day! Lunch time use to be spent playing tag, dodge ball or capture the flag which was awesome.
Jumping on those trampolines took us all back to that time, even the non-exercise lovers!
