19 August 15 - Are Bouncy Castles Good Exercise?

Whether you’re young, old, or in between, anyone can enjoy the benefits of exercise and everyone should. It's important that children in particular remain active throughout their development. Kids naturally have a lot of energy and that can be channelled into healthy, fun activities. Some of the benefits of good exercise for young ones are the continued development of muscles and bones and an increase in strength and endurance. Regular activities will help lower the risk of obesity which in turn lowers the risk of developing diseases like type 2 diabetes. A healthy kid is a happy kid and no kid is quite as happy as when they are bouncing up and down in an inflatable bounce castle.

Why is bouncing so much fun? Who knows? Adults love it probably just as much as children, but is bouncing actually exercise? Anything that makes you tired after you do it is probably exercise. Bouncing is really just hopping. Hopping is jumping and jumping rope is great exercise.

We understand that a bouncy castle is no substitute for regular exercise for kids. We also aren’t suggesting that adults should give up their memberships at the local gym or throw out their stationary bike and permanently install a bouncy castle in their backyards. We’re just recognizing one of the many benefits that come with hiring a bouncy castle for your next party. Expending energy is a great way to burn calories, kids love it and they won’t even know they’re doing something that’s good for them. Safety is important as well and kids should be properly supervised when using a bouncy castle.

Kids are full of energy, every parents knows that. Sometimes, they have too much energy and parents may be at a loss about what to do with them. A great way to expend that energy is with a bouncy castle. It keeps them occupied and it’s much better than watching TV, playing video games or having their eyes glued to a computer screen. Inflatables are easy to set up and take down and they’re great, not only for kid’s birthday parties, but weddings, receptions, family reunions and holiday events. If you are in the Blackpool area, give Blackpool Bounce a call. We can recommend a bouncy castle to suit your needs. Big parties or smaller gatherings, we have the inflatables to get your next party bouncing.
