Like any sport, stretching before and after is extremely important. Not only does it prevent injury, but it also helps with the repair and development of the muscles.
For trampoline, in particular, it is important to stretch your abdominal and lower back muscles after a tramp session. Not sure how to do it? We’re here to tell you how!
Step One
Face down, get yourself into a plank position with your forearms holding you up, parallel underneath your shoulders. Keep your back flat.
Step Two
For 10 seconds, contract and hold your gluteus muscles.
Step Three
Lifting your right arm, straighten it, pointing ahead. Hold for 10 seconds.
Step Four
Return to the start position.
Step Five
Repeat with opposite arm.
Step Six
Return to start position.
Step Seven
In the same kind of motion, lift your right leg off the ground and hold for 10 seconds.
Step Nine
Return to start position.
Step Ten
Repeat with opposite leg.
Step Eleven
Return to start position.
Step Twelve
Lift your right arm and left leg in the same motion. Hold for 10 seconds.

Now pain, be gone! Do this stretch after every trampoline session and your abdominal and lower back muscles will thank you forever.
