Elke is 68 and, some years ago, was very ill, with severe limitations in mobility and stamina as well as chronic pain. Looking for a sport that would still be possible despite her health limitations, she found the bellicon trampoline.
“I actually noticed the change right away,” she says. “My body was able to keep going for three hours with the help of the trampoline – and afterwards I wasn't completely drained, but more mobile. I felt more alive. I had the feeling of being supported by the trampoline, that impulses kept coming that automatically let me keep going.”
Elke has since bought her own bellicon for home use, so she can train regularly in between. “Moving is fun again for me. I have more stamina, I'm no longer so afraid that I won't manage something. Overall, I trust myself with more.”
