There are many types of trampolines available as well as a great variety of other outdoor toys which give children a fantastic variation of activities outdoors for fun but also deals with the ever increasing issue of obesity
For starters, trampolines in themselves give a all over body workout from the toes to the head, whilst are such good fun you do not even realise you are exercising. NASA actually class trampolines are the best exercise there is as it has a very good aerobic impact, and strengthens muscles whilst giving internal body organs good circulation. As well as the normal bouncing up and down on an individual basis, there are many games children and adults can play on a trampoline to increase the enjoyment even more, but only viable on large enough trampolines.
When safety is concerned, a Jumpking trampoline for example can come with a safety enclosure which makes it more or less impossible for people bouncing on the trampoline to fall off so peace of mind to parents. If a enclose does not come with a particular jumpking model, they can be purchased afterwards and takes about 15-20 minutes to install. A unique trampoline, the oval trampoline gives a large area to jump on plus a different design that steers away from the normal round or rectangular shape.
As well as trampolines as an ideal summer, if not all year round outdoor exercise there are several other large outdoor toys for the back garden. One of these is the wooden climbing frame, which differs from a metal climbing frame in many aspects. The first obviously is that it is made from wood, very high quality wood in fact that does give a old fashioned look and sits unobtrusive in any back garden no matter the size.
These wooden climbing frames give a great range of activities from small children, right up to teenagers who enjoy them as get away areas. Many of the climbing frames come with towers, swings, slides and climbing nets as well as seating, tables and different levels or balconies. As they are large structures, many have been designed so that anyone can put them together no matter what there construction skills maybe, but two people or more are usually required for safety, if not anything else.
A more subtle outdoor toy is the playhouse. Again, the most popular are made from wood and steered more towards girls than boys, but there are usually several structures which appeal to boys more such as cowboy huts and ranches, or lookout towers. The details of a playhouse is very very good and to high quality, giving a great look and children love them. Quite often, these are given as presents from Grandparents to Grandchildren and can last for decades as the build quality is very high, like climbing frames.
With the amount of exercise a child can get from jumpking trampolines to wooden playhouses, parents can enjoy the peace and quiet indoors whilst comfort in the thought that their children are playing away from dangers such as busy roads, and that they are getting good exercise to without them even realising.
