Top 5 Benefits Of Rebounding

1.Weight Loss

This is at the top of our list because meeting and maintaining a healthy weight goal is one of most adults' goals. Rebounding works every body muscle; it is an actual total-body workout that improves your muscle-to-fat ratio. It can reduce cellulite (yes, read that again) and burn calories fast. Jumping boosts metabolism and improves resting metabolic rate so you can burn calories long after a workout. It will also lowercirculating cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Rebounding also enhances digestion and your elimination process, contributing to weight loss.

2.Cardio

Often, we read the word cardio and think of a high-energy workout like Zumba, where there is a lot of dancing or moving. Aerobic exercise on a fitness trampoline strengthens heart muscles and improves cardiovascular performance. This allows you to reach your target zone faster and stay in the zone with less stress on your body. Your heart can pump more blood with fewer beats, which means you can lower your resting heart rate. Regularly working your heart harder during exercise improves overall function so that it doesn't have to work as hard during everyday activities.

3.Lymphatic System

One of rebounding's benefits is that it positively affects your body at a molecular and cellular level. Many oncologists recommend their patients start rebounding even after remission to help cleanse the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is how your body gets rid of harmful things and is vital to overall health. The lymphatic system also supports your immune system, so if you run out of airborne, don't stress; just jump on your trampoline!

4.Balance & Mental Health

It can help your whole family stay focused. Some studies have shown that children with short attention spans can center and re-group by jumping on a trampoline. Rebounding improves balance by improving the brain's responsiveness to the inner ear.

5.Anti-Aging Benefits

Did you know the heart's pumping force decreases by 8% per decade in adulthood? Lung capacity decreases, muscles lose strength, reaction time slows, and bones lose mineral content as we age. Rebounding stimulates your heart, lungs, and bones, resulting in fun exercises that can help halt or at least significantly slow this aging process and keep your body feeling younger. It's like a springing fountain of youth! It also protects joints from chronic fatigue and the impact your body would absorb if you worked out on a hard surface.

Some additional benefits of rebounding

Works the abdominal (core), leg, buttock, and deep back muscles.
It may help improve balance, coordination, and overall motor skills.
Bouncing supports bone density, strength, and formation while decreasing bone resorption. It is a trusted source, so it may be a good option if you have osteoporosis. Bouncing puts small amounts of pressure on the bones, which helps them grow stronger.
According to anecdotal reports, bouncing may support pelvic floor health. Bouncing works the deep core muscles, which helps prevent urinary incontinence and stabilize hip joints.
It can decrease joint pain, headaches, inflammation in joints, and swelling caused by lymphedema.

Safety Tips

As with any exercise, it's a good idea to ask your doctor before you start rebounding. While mini-trampolines absorb some of the force you might experience with traditional land exercises, like running, this exercise may not be appropriate if you've had previous surgeries or other medical concerns.

When using a mini-trampoline/rebounder:

Ensure your trampoline is in working order and on a stable surface, as well as the risk of falls or other injuries before each workout.
Move the trampoline away from the wall or other objects, like furniture.
Be sure to do different types of moves on your trampoline so you don't overuse the same muscles each time you work out.
Consider purchasing a trampoline with a handlebar for extra stability and balance.
If you have small children, store your trampoline away when not in use or supervise children who may play on or around it.
Stop jumping immediately if you notice shortness of breath, pain, or other warning signs of health problems.

You may feel dizzy or lightheaded after your first few times on a mini-trampoline. Your body may need some time to adjust to this new type of movement, but you should still stop working out if you feel faint or dizzy. If these feelings continue for several workouts, contact your doctor.

A rebounder could be an excellent alternative for introducing you to a new exercise method that will make you stick to it and have fun!

Have a Xpectacular week!
