Trying to think of news ways to get the kids out the house and away from the TV and video games can be a tricky situation. A trampoline in the backyard is a great way to accomplish that. Not only will they be outside in the fresh air, but something you may not have known is that it's also a great way to introduce exercise into their lifestyles. Jumping up and down on the elasticized surface of a trampoline is great for strengthening the cardio-vascular system and it is also an excellent workout for almost every muscle and organ of the body. Exercising on a trampoline can also be very helpful for adults and children because it helps to improve reflexes, flexibility, balance and coordination.

You probably won't have to do much convincing to get the kids on the trampoline either. It's got its own obvious exciting and adventurous appeal, but once they learn a few tricks to do on the trampoline, you'll probably have to plead with them to come back in the house. There's lot of tricks that can done on the trampoline, from the beginner level to the advanced. Here's a few of them beginning with some basics including additional tips for the jumpers themselves to keep it safe and avoid injury.

'Landing on the Back' is one of the first, basic trampoline tricks any bouncer should learn and its very simple. Stand motionless on the trampoline with your arms at your sides or even with your hands in your front pockets. Fall backwards onto the trampoline, keeping your body straight and your head up. As your back meets the trampoline, let your head meet it naturally, don't jerk it. You will bounce back up and then you can do it again, over and over until you achieve a good rebounding height. The more you practice this trick, the higher you will bounce back and forth!

Here's an intermediate trampoline trick you can do once you've master the basic Back Landing trick. Begin the same way, standing straight and motionless, with arms at your sides or hands in your pockets. Fall straight back again, but when you bounce back up, land on your knees instead! The motion will keep sending you back and forth so you can repeating the trick as many times as you want.

Some advanced trampoline tricks include somersaults and flips. Either of these can be done backwards or forwards, but you should be very comfortable and confident with your bouncing abilities before attempting either of them.

Before attempting any trick, ensure everyone's safety, including your own. Remember to look around and see how much room you have. You will definitely want to avoid a collision with any other jumpers that are on the trampoline with you. To further prevent any mishaps, also remember to keep your head and neck in a natural position. Don't tense or jerk it in any way, this way you don't hurt yourself.

Be safe, be healthy, have fun and keep bouncing!
