Review: Health Benefits of Mini Trampoline

Have you ever tried rebounding?

It's a great way to get the exercise you need, and it's a lot of fun, too. In rebounding, you use a portable mini-trampoline to jog, jump, hop, twist, or step-walk in place.

According to James White, Ph.D., director of research and rehabilitation in the physical education department of the University of California at San Diego (UCSD), "When you jump, jog, and twist on this [rebounder] device, you can exercise for hours without getting tired.

It's great practice for skiing, it improves your tennis stroke, and it's a good way to burn off calories and lose weight."

Dr. White believes it is more effective for fitness and weight loss than cycling, running, or jogging, and it produces fewer injuries.

Next time you're stuck indoors, try some rebounding exercise in which you jump on a mini-trampoline.

Some great health benefits of mini trampoline jumping or rebounding include:

It is very good for the lymphatic system, the circulatory system, and the spine, all while sparing your joints and ligaments unnecessary strain.

Rebounding is great for Everyone

Rebounding is safe and fun for almost anyone.

Kids won't need much encouragement to bounce on a trampoline, and seniors can reap the benefits of this zero-impact, easy-on-the-joints exercise.

If you're unsteady on your feet, many rebounders can be fitted with a bar to hold onto so you'll feel secure while you get fit.
