Is jumping on a trampoline very very good exercise?

Question

I understand that having a trampoline is not just fun but very good exercise for the human body. I would like to learn more about it since I have a 27 year old Down Syndrome daughter and she just discovered the trampoline. She wants one for herself but I, as a father, want to investigate it. I was told that jumping on a trampoline is the best exercise there is. Is that true? Please, I would like more information since I am seriously considering buying one for my daughter. Thank you.

Answer 1

I have used it for years. A doctor told me it was a smart form of exercise because it involves the entire body. It was great to me for weight loss, to help with depression, and lethargy. I have recommended it numerous times.

Answer 2

I've read that a mini trampoline is very good exercise for the human body, I think it's great that you are going to get one for your daughter, I think she should have some supervision while on it. Happy Father's DAy!
