okay i am overweight a little and i really want to lose my weight over the summer. the thing is i have to do it by having fun otherwise i lose interest and stop. so i decided to lose weight by jumping on a trampeline every day for a good amount of time. my question is, is this a good way to lose weight? also can you lose a lot? and what are some more fun activities like this? thanks wil rate high.

Yes, jumping on a trampoline is a good way to keep your heart rate up, making you lose calories, and thus to lose weight, and it is effective. If you want to see how many calories you'll burn doing it, type in your weight and select 'trampoline' at this website: http://www.fatburn.com/free_tool_activity_burn.asp. It's just not as effective as some OTHER things you can do. For example, if you're willing to shell out some money, I highly reccomend turbo jam (go to beachbody.com). It is the best home video you can buy to lose weight. Another way is to go to a gym, if you can afford it, and attend some hip/hip, pilates, yoga classes, and work out in the gym. An inexpensive alternative is to go jogging for about 45 min. every day, (you can even listen to your ipod while doing it if you have one). Some OTHER inexpensive alternatives are swimming (10-30 laps a day), and dancing and jamming out to your favorite songs about an hour a day. Good luck sweetie, and if you need anything else drop one in my inbox. Let me know how it goes too.
