Karen Cockburn back training

The three time Olympic Trampoline medalist, age-33, wants one more major international competition. πŸ™‚

β€œI currently weigh less then my pre-pregnancy weight,” she said. β€œMy focus in the gym is on regaining my lean muscle mass and improving my power. I started back on the trampoline two weeks ago and it feels great to be in the air again. I am trying to take it slow, as my mind wants to do everything I did before, but my body needs time to adapt to jumping on the trampoline again.”
