Today on Wowcher Trampolining is offered and as no-one wanted to go to bingo with me yesterday how about this then? I used to love it at school - play hell with my joints now though but I would still do it.

Don't forget to go to the loo before you start. It makes you wee. It does !

I tried it on GSS's. What nonnie said. hmm

Read somewhere on the net, it's bad for your pelvic floor. I can believe that.

Agree with Nonnie and jings regarding 'bladder malfunctions' blush blush

Trampoling is bad for your pelvic floor and not good for older women who've had children. I've had a hysterectomy for prolapse earlier this year and was told that trampoling is one of the worst exercises for women - even fit, young, childless women can prolapse with trampoling. This is proved by the bladder problems mentioned here.

Thanks for that, GrandmaMoira. I will tell my GSs how bad it would be for me next time they say, 'Come on Granny' and try to get me on the trampoline, though I might come unstuck trying to explain 'prolapse' to 8 and 10 year-olds.

My granddog loves going on the trampoline with the GC or DS and sits by the zipped 'door' and asks to be let in. She is a rather big Labradoodle!!

Annodomini - When I knew I would have to have surgery, I told my GDs of 8 and 10 that bits of my insides had fallen out of place and the doctors had to put them back in place - they accepted that version of prolapse easily.

Funnily enough DH brought my wee trampoline out of the shed for DGD this morning. She's not a good jumper (looks more like a horse cantering!) and the trampette didn't improve her at all. It gave her a good laugh when we both demonstrated for her at least. smile

With it's dangers to my nether regions I'll refrain from any more jumping!!!

I tried my granddaughters once - probably what Tena Lady was invented for grin

Todays Wowcher offer is Bungee jumping and I'm definitely not doing that.
