I climbed a Mountain yesterday. It seemed like a great idea at the time but as I made my way up all I kept thinking is WHY!! However once I reached the top, the feeling was like no other. I challenged myself and won. Erin 1, mountain 0.

Exercising without realising it is amazing! Getting out, challenging yourself and finding adventure is truly liberating and my new thing to do…

So this has inspired me to create a list – an adventure list.

So what other exercise type activities can you do that screams FUN and hides the fact that your exercising?

Here is what I have so far. Please feel free to add any other great ideas.

• Dancing
• Roller Blading
• Ice Skating
• Surfing
• Zumba
• Scuba Diving
• Snorkeling
• Kayaking

So as you can see my list is pretty adventurous so where to next… Roller Blading. This should be fun!

“TIME OUT” SAYS MUM! – LUCKY CHILDREN THAT MEANS JUMPING ON THE SPRINGFREE™ TRAMPOLINE!!!!

“We have a small back yard and I love that the kids use the Springfree™Trampoline to get rid of excess energy! In fact when my son Jack is being naughty I send him to the Springfree™ Trampoline to jump his sillies out instead of sending him to his room! It diffuses the situation and he’s laughing within minutes. Jack often flings himself about on it and I don’t have to worry that he is going to fall off and hurt himself.”

DID YOU KNOW

Did you know that stretching helps to stop injuries and allows you to be more flexible when jumping!

Stretching Helps Prevent Injuries

Stretching your muscles before engaging in any physical activity is important. Whether it’s dancing, playing soccer or swimming it is important to prepare your body to perform the best it can – so why should trampolining be any different? Do you love to perform for mum and dad in the backyard or are you seasoned pro at your local gymnasium? No matter what level you are you should always stretch your muscles in order increase your flexibility and then you will get even bigger jumps.

Check out the huge jumps these professional jumpers get in Central Park in America – I Bet they did some serious stretching to achieve the complexity and intricacy of the jumps.
