If your child is full of energy and loves flipping, rolling, or stretching, an Airtrack could be the perfect addition to your home. At AirTumble, we specialise in high-quality Air Tracks, Gymnastics Beams, and Gymnastics Bars designed to bring the gym experience into your living room, garden, or playroom. In this blog, we’ll share some exciting and safe ways your child can enjoy an Airtrack at home—while also building confidence, coordination, and fitness.
What Is an Airtrack?
An Airtrack is an inflatable mat made with durable material, providing a cushioned and stable surface for physical activity. Unlike traditional gym mats, Airtracks are lightweight, portable, and suitable for a variety of spaces. You can inflate them within minutes and deflate for easy storage. They’re ideal for children learning basic gymnastics, cheerleading routines, or simply enjoying active play.
1. Practice Basic Gymnastics Moves
One of the most popular uses for an Airtrack is for practising gymnastics skills. Whether your child is working on forward rolls, handstands, or cartwheels, the Airtrack provides a soft landing area that helps reduce the risk of injury. Pair it with our AirTumble Gymnastics Bars or Beams for a full home setup that supports progression in balance and technique.
Tip: Start with simple drills and gradually increase difficulty as your child gains confidence.
2. Build Obstacle Courses
Kids love a challenge! Create a fun and interactive obstacle course using your Airtrack, some pillows, cones, and other household items. Let your child run, jump, crawl, and roll through their own custom-made course. It’s a fantastic way to encourage creativity and burn off extra energy—especially on rainy days.
For extra excitement, include our Gymnastics Beams as balance stations within the course. The AirTumble Balance Beam is padded, safe, and perfect for practising focus and coordination.
3. Try Family Fitness Challenges
Get the whole family involved with a fitness game on the Airtrack. Set up friendly competitions such as who can hold a plank the longest, do the best handstand, or complete the most jumps in a minute. The bounce of the Airtrack makes these activities more enjoyable and reduces the impact on joints.
AirTumble Air Tracks come in different sizes, so you can choose one that suits your space and goals.
4. Use It for Dance and Cheer Practice
For budding dancers or cheerleaders, the Airtrack is a great platform to refine routines and try new moves safely. The extra bounce helps with jumps, spins, and landings, while also building strength and muscle memory. Many of our customers use their AirTumble Air Tracks for at-home cheer practice with amazing results.
Add a mirror to the space for even more fun, allowing your child to watch and correct their form.
5. Fun Games for Younger Kids
Even if your child isn’t into gymnastics, they can still have loads of fun on an Airtrack. Toddlers and younger kids love using it as a bouncy runway or soft play mat. Try games like:
-
Animal Walks: Let them crawl like a bear, hop like a frog, or slither like a snake across the mat.
-
Rolling Races: See who can roll from one end to the other the fastest.
-
Simon Says: Add movement-based tasks that help with motor skills.
With the soft and springy surface, the AirTumble Airtrack turns ordinary games into exciting experiences.
