Alright you dirty-minded people…I’m not talking about THOSE kind of tramps.  I’m talking about trampolines.  I’ve rediscovered my youth, taking an aerobics class at a Skyzone indoor trampoline park last weekend.

The class is called “Skyrobics” and it’s a blast.  For an hour, you run laps on several mini trampolines, toss medicine balls with a partner while jumping, and work your core.  You’re sweating after the first five minutes and breathless after the first fifteen.

At first, I was a little nervous, since I hadn’t been on a trampoline since I was in elementary school.  It’s amazing how fast it comes back to you.  By the end of the class, I was back in the groove and bouncing with confidence.

There were women of all ages in the class.  A couple of women in their 50’s and 60’s were kicking our younger butts…very impressive.  The Skyzone website claims you can burn up to 1,000 calories during class.  I don’t know if I burned that many, but I know I sure earned my lunch afterwards!

So, if you’re bored with the treadmill, I highly suggest you give it a try.  It makes you feel like a kid again and it’s better than freezing your ass off running outside!
