Clackmannanshire Council's Sports Development team are rolling out a series of the hugely popular Urban Rebounding Classes during the October Schools Holiday week.
Urban rebound is now growing in Scotland, England, Spain, Italy, America and in Clackmannanshire, following the introduction of the concept in January 2011, it has proved to be a major hit.
The classes will take place at Lornshill Academy each day from 14th to the 21st October.
Sports and Leisure Convener, Councillor Ellen Forson, said: "Its not a wee work out on a trampoline. There are many benefits of Urban rebounding including exercise in a way that's low impact to your joints. The work out can be of low to high intensity. Urban rebounding provides workouts for all ages, all genders and all capabilities. It is something which is growing all the time, and we are delighted to offer a full and varied programme throughout the week."
The workout is all in the push there is no bouncing. Imagine working out and with every push movement, and meeting the full resistance of your personal body weight. Because your working on an uneven plane surface your entire core, from neck to feet are working all the time. You are working past gravity, so your workout involves g-force.
On Sunday, 14th October between 11am-11.45 there is a beginners to Intermediate session, where you can learn the techniques of urban rebounding. This workout has cardio vascular challenges, however, you can work as low or high intensity as suits you. The session looks at general overall fitness, and involves muscular strength and endurance.
Then between 12 noon and 12.45 there is a family Urban rebounding class where you can have fun with the kids whilst working out. There will be team games, sport specific activities, music, fun and family time.
On Monday, 15th October, there is Teen Urban rebounding between 2pm-2.45pm, to good music, including boxing routines.
Box and Burn takes place between 5.15pm-6pm, which includes a cardio vascular workout which challenges the individual. Core abilities are challenged throughout, as are targeted muscle groups.
Classes will take place throughout the week with everything from beginners to intermediates, team and family events, including power jumping.
As an introductory offer the new family and teenage rebounding sessions will be free during the school October holidays and from Sunday 21st October onwards the family session will cost £1.50 and the teenage session will cost £1.
