About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

Stationary cycling is one of the most effective low-impact aerobic exercises for increasing your metabolism for more efficient calorie and fat burning without the impact on your joints. Because it is an impact-free activity, stationary cycling can be a lifelong form of exercise. For effective aerobic exercise, work within your target heart rate zone (70% to 85% of your maximum heart rate).

  • Holds up to 70 lbs
REVIEW: Bounce around with the Alex Little Jumpers Trampoline. For active toddlers and youngsters less than 80-pounds, this colorful trampoline with soft foam handle offers a great way to exercise indoors and expend some energy. The padded frame and non-slip rubber feet offer safer bouncing, and the fold-up legs and easy-to-remove handle make storage a snap.

Little Jumpers Trampoline
Colorful Padded Cover and Foam Handle for Safety. View larger.
Big, Bouncy Fun
Hang onto the foam handle bars, give the trampoline a bounce, and catch some air! Kids will be eager to have a go at this trampoline, which is made specifically for smaller children. Ideal for rainy days indoors, this trampoline will get kids moving.

Out of the box, you'll find parts for the metal frame with attached spring legs and rubber feet, a sturdy bungee cord, trampoline mesh, padded cover, and handle bar. When fully assembled, the trampoline is approximately 34.5-inches square and 29.5-inches high.

Colorful Padded Cover and Foam Handle for Safe Play
The trampoline has a foam-wrapped handlebar that kids can hold onto when they're jumping around on the trampoline. This keeps young jumpers safer as they bounce around.

The removable padded cover overlays the frame, guarding kids from getting their feet or legs caught between the bungee cord and frame. Kids should remove their shoes and socks and hold onto the handlebar while they jump. This toy should be used under the supervision of adults or responsible older kids.

Everything You Need for Assembly and Easy Storage
The Little Jumpers Trampoline will take approximately 30 minutes to an hour to assemble. The metal frame comes together and secures easily with the included bolts and Allen wrench. The spring legs pop out and into place--a nice touch that simplifies set up.

The mesh cover attaches to the frame with the bungee cord. This step is a little trickier, only because you'll have to make sure the mesh stays centered as you thread the cord into the loops and around the frame. A metal cord lock, which stays under the trampoline, keeps the bungee cord in place. The final steps are to assemble the handle, fasten the padded cover to the trampoline, and then lock the handle into the handle slots on the frame. Before play, rotate the legs so the rubber feet rest flush against the floor.

Getting the trampoline ready for storage is effortless because the spring legs fold and a push button allows the handle to slide out of its slot. Keep the trampoline under a bed, in the closet, in the garage, or propped in the corner of the kids' room until the next bouncing session.

Video Instructions Available on Alextoys.com
The illustrated instruction guide is more than adequate for assembly. But if you have Internet access and would like visual instruction on how to put the trampoline together, visit the Alex toys website to watch the assembly video.

What's in the Box
Four-part metal frame with spring legs, bungee cord, cord lock, trampoline mesh, padded cover, six screws, Allen wrench, and instructions.


Alex Little Jumpers Trampoline. Jump for fun and exercise! Colorful, padded Trampoline with cushioned handle is the perfect outlet for kids energy. Spring-loaded legs make assembly quick and easy. Just open the legs, attach the bungee cords, place the colorful padding and take the leap! Catch some air: Holds up to 80 pounds; 34 1/2" w. x 34 1/2" d. x 29 1/2" h. when fully assembled; Adult assembly required. Assembly video available on www.alextoys.com.; Ages 3 years and up.
