Winter sports enthusiasts chomp at the bit for the cooler months to arrive so
they can get outside and enjoy doing the snow-related activities they love. But
are their bodies prepared? Given the record warm conditions across the country,
snow seekers have some extra time to condition their bodies to swoosh down the
slopes with control, strength, confidence and less risk of injury. A natural and
effective way to have a more exhilarating and injury-free experience is with
bodyweight rebounding on the new Total Gym® Trampoline Squat
Stand.
Rebounding strengthens the musculoskeletal system by providing an increased
gravitational load without the impact on the joints that running, jogging or
aerobics usually generates, according to the American Council on Exercise
website. Now, individuals can jump around and feel like a kid again with Total
Gym rebounding to minimize risk of winter sports-related muscle fatigue,
soreness or worse, a sprain, strain, fracture or dislocation. The American
Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) reports that a majority of these injuries
can easily be prevented if participants prepare for their sport by staying in
good physical condition.
