Benefits of Rebounding

by Minx life

Rebounding is an exercise I do daily for my immune system and circulation. If you aren’t familiar with it, rebounding is basically jumping on a mini trampoline either in gentle bounces where your feet don’t leave the trampoline or in complete jumps where you rise 6 inches from the surface.

Many types of exercise are done to target specific muscles or just to increase cardiovascular function. Rebounding is unique since it uses the forces of acceleration and deceleration and can work on every cell in the body in a unique way.

When you bounce on a rebounder (mini-trampoline), several actions happen:

• An acceleration action as you bounce upward

• A split second weightless pause at the top

• A deceleration at an increased G-force

• Impact to the Rebounder

• Repeat

Here are the benefits:

• Boosts lymphatic drainage and immune function

• Great for skeletal system and increasing bone mass

• Helps improve digestion

• Helps to improve cellulite

• More than twice as effective as running without the extra stress on the ankles and knees

• Helps improve balance by stimulating the vestibule in the middle ear

• Helps to aid in weight loss

• Rebounding helps circulate oxygen through the body to increase energy

• Rebounding is fun!

Personally, I jump on the rebounder for 15 minutes and then dry brush my skin(both are good for avoiding cellulite). I also jump on it a few times a day when I remember, especially if I’ve been sitting at my computer all day. It’s very compact so I keep it in my bedroom so it’s accessible.

There are a lot of models on the Market so look for good quality springs that will help reduce the impact on your joints.
