Bounce Along with Krista - Cure for Ab Flab!

Bounce Along with Krista Popowych on the JumpSport Fitness Trampoline

To get a better workout for the abdominals, try to mix it up instead of just sticking to one exercise.

The three exercises that we are going to do are: seated bouncing, roll backs and heel drops. Perform each exercise for approximately 45-60 seconds before moving on to the next one in the circuit. Focus on good form and technique. If you do find your technique is starting to fail, regress to an easier move or take a break. Quality of movement is more important than quantity.

Exercise 1:
Seated bounces: Start seated on the trampoline. Hold the frame and begin to bounce. Transition to a side to side movement. Progress to a hands free position. In an advanced position, the feet and hands are not touching.

Exercise 2:
Roll downs: Start in a seated position, roll to the right and back up. Repeat on the left. Next roll to the right, center and left. Continue the movement and eliminate the centre roll down. Continue rolling from right to left in full circles.

Exercise 3:
With the head resting back, begin by lowering one foot at a time while activating the core. Alternate both legs with both arms extended. To modify the exercise, keep one foot on the frame.

Train the abdominals 2-3 x's per week.

Best ab concentration I have seen for us more mature rebounders. Good job! Subs..

Thank you! That was so incredibly helpful. I started jumping right after last Christmas and I love how it has transformed my legs. Although I lost weight as well, my belly is still flabby. Jumping harder and faster has helped but has not given me the results I needed. With that roll exercise, I immediately felt it targeting my abs and knew this is what I was looking for. Thanks for the great tips!

Wow, I love the seated bounces. I'm working my abs half the time I used to and seeing double the results! Everything I do on my Jumpsport seems to target my core. I'm getting stronger and more defined, but leaner in my midsection, "longer" in my legs, and rounder in my butt (which is great because I'm a middle aged woman who had the body of a teenage boy lol). I actually have some curves now!

This was great!! I’d love to see some ab work that actually uses the trampoline more. But I did love it. Thanks.
