Rebound Your Way to Fitness
Thanks for returning to the blog. If you haven't already done so, you can subscribe to my RSS feed.
In rebounding you start by practising a set of controlled movements while bouncing up and down on a mini trampoline. The fitness benefits of rebounding are numerous. As a full-body cardio workout, exercising on a small trampoline rivals the effectiveness of running on a treadmill and is easier on the joints.
GOOD FOR MUSCLE TONE
Rebounding improves muscle tone by engaging every major muscle group in the body. Rebounders need to maintain balance and coordination while bouncing on a small trampoline. This engages more muscle groups, especially those int he calves, thighs, abdomen and arms, than regular treadmill running.
GOOD FOR THE JOINTS
Unlike treadmill runners, rebounders avoid stress injuries such a shin splints. Decreased stress on ligaments and joints means that rebounders enjoy longer workouts, exercise at higher intensities, and reap the benefits of physical activity.
As a zero-impact activity, rebounding is ideal for people of all levels of ability. People in rehabilitation programs and those of advanced age may also benefit from rebounding. Regaining physical strength and stamina through the gentle movements of rebounding is a great way to start exercising again.
GOOD FOR TRIMMING
Rebounding will help to tone your hips, waist, arms and legs. Intense rebounders will feel weightless as they get more air time and trim their waistlines.
GOOD FOR TRAVELING
A tiny tip about space: you don’t need much of it to be able to rebound at home; most small trampolines are only 40 inches in diameter and some can even be folded, packed up and taken wherever you go.
