Did you know that 10 minutes of jumping is the cardio equivalent of a 30 minute jog?

Not only is jumping on your Springfree Trampoline a fun activity for the whole family but it has health benefits as well. We’re here to share a few of many moves you can do on the Springfree Trampoline to get an awesome workout while bouncing. Try a few of these moves next time you’re jumping and we promise that you’ll feel the burn of a great workout!

We recommend doing each move for around 30 seconds, followed by 30 seconds of casual jumping – and repeat!

Easter is just around the corner, and to get into the spirit we thought we’d share some great family activity ideas you can do with the kids! From delicious edible treats, to easy crafts the kids can do, we’ve had a look through one of our favourite sources of inspiration: Pinterest and found some clever ideas to share with you.

We are always surrounded by mountains of chocolate eggs around Easter time, but who’s to say you can’t mix up the treats the kids receive from the Easter bunny? How cute are these little cotton bunny tails? They’re so simple and such a great idea to give as a gift as well to family and friends.

We stumbled along this crafty idea that only requires a few bits and pieces and will create some fun photo opportunities with your kids. All you need are some pipe cleaners, cotton balls and a paddle pop stick and voila your little one will be looking like a funny bunny!

In this day and age it is almost expected of us to be constantly multi-tasking and on the go; filling up our schedules with more and more errands and goals that we want to achieve. It’s as if society has created this misconception that “busy” is a status symbol. The busier you are, the more important you must be, and it shows that you have aspirations and control over your life. But is this really the case?

The ever increasing mountain of work that we set for ourselves in our lives and the 38 hours of jobs that we try to squeeze into a 24 hour period is making us forget about a healthy balanced life filled with laughing, love and relaxation. Are we ever going to climb to the peak of that mountain we set for ourselves and enjoy the view from the top, or should we be stopping along the climb up and taking in the view from different angles?

When is the last time you stopped and took a moment for yourself; just to even turn off all the distractions in your life and feel relaxed and carefree? Remember when you were a kid and all the stresses and worries of adult life were not even a thought in your mind? The time is now, to feel empowered and have some “me” time!

Jump onto your Springfree Trampoline and take 10 minutes out of your day to be young and carefree again! Be a kid at heart and just have a laugh! That Springfree Trampoline in your backyard is more than just a kid’s backyard toy, it is your sanctuary from this busy world.

That mountain is still going to be there after 10 minutes and won’t have crumbled around you. Be proud to say out loud “I’ve done something for myself today!” and realise that there is more to life than being busy.

Share your pictures of being young at heart on Instragram #kidatheart #springfreetrampoline , we’d love to see your cheeky inner child!
