33 Health Benefits of Rebounding - Get Your Steps ! Mini-Trampoline !

[Jabrat]

Exercising correctly and regularly has great benefits for our health.

1. Rebounding provides an increased G-force (gravitational load), which strengthens the musculoskeletal systems.

2. Rebounding protects the joints from the chronic fatigue and impact delivered by exercising on hard surfaces.

3. Rebounding helps manage body composition and improves muscle-to-fat ratio.

4. Rebounding aids lymphatic circulation by stimulating the millions of one-way valves in the lymphatic system.

5. Rebounding circulates more oxygen to the tissues.

6. Rebounding establishes a better equilibrium between the oxygen required by the tissues and the oxygen made available.

7. Rebounding increases capacity for respiration.

8. Rebounding tends to reduce the height to which the arterial pressures rise during exertion.

9. Rebounding lessens the time during which blood pressure remains abnormal after severe activity.

10. Rebounding assists in the rehabilitation of a heart problem.

11. Rebounding increases the functional activity of the red bone marrow in the production of red blood cells.

12. Rebounding improves resting metabolic rate so that more calories are burned for hours after exercise.

13. Rebounding causes muscles to perform work in moving fluids through the body to lighten the heart's load.

14. Rebounding decreases the volume of blood pooling in the veins of the cardiovascular system preventing chronic edema .

15. Rebounding encourages collateral circulation by increasing the capillary count in the muscles and decreasing the distance between the capillaries and the target cells.

16. Rebounding strengthens the heart and other muscles in the body so that they work more efficiently.

17. Rebounding allows the resting heart to beat less often.

18. Rebounding lowers circulating cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

19. Rebounding lowers low-density lipoprotein (bad) in the blood and increases high-density lipoprotein (good) holding off the incidence of coronary artery disease

20. Rebounding promotes tissue repair.

21. Rebounding for longer than 20 minutes at a moderate intensity increases the mitochondria count within the muscle cells, essential for endurance.

22. Rebounding adds to the alkaline reserve of the body, which may be of significance in an emergency requiring prolonged effort.

23. Rebounding improves coordination between the propreoceptors in the joints, the transmission of nerve impulses to and from the brain, transmission of nerve impulses and responsiveness of the muscle fibers.

24. Rebounding improves the brain’s responsiveness to the vestibular apparatus within the inner ear, thus improving balance.

25. Rebounding offers relief from neck and back pains, headaches and other pain caused by lack of exercise.

26. Rebounding enhances digestion and elimination processes.

27. Rebounding allows for deeper and easier relaxation and sleep.

28. Rebounding results in better mental performance, with keener learning processes.

29. Rebounding curtails fatigue and menstrual discomfort for women.

30. Rebounding minimizes the number of colds, allergies, digestive disturbances, and abdominal problems.

31. Rebounding tends to slow down atrophy in the aging process.

32. Rebounding is an effective modality by which the user gains a sense of control and an improved self image.

33. Rebounding is enjoyable!

Here is my new rebounder !  

[Jabrat]

Usual morning stats !  Half walk/jog and rebounder before desk job !  Rebounding stat below every morning

[Jabrat]

We are trying to connect with rebounders !  Anyone out there love their mini trampoline - counts your Fitbit steps wonderfully ! 

[pidgeon92]

I like the idea of this. How high is the bounce? I'm 5' 5", and my ceilings are 8'. I'd sooner not crack my skull.

[ValerieAnne]

Still saving up to purchase a rebounder lol 

[EdsonFitbit]

This is awesome @Jabrat! I didn't know about all the benefits from rebounding. I will start saving money as same as @ValerieAnne for a rebounder. 

[Giftie]

@Jabrat Thank you for this!!! I bought a mini trampoline for my son/myself a couple of weeks ago but haven't really used it (accept when trying to get a bunch of steps in towards the end of a challenge 🙂 )

I'm going to join the group!

[Soo]

I love my rebounder!!  I have a reasonably good one but really want a Bellicon!  Can't justify it at the moment though.

[sbulla]

Love my bellicon rebounder!  Need to get motivated to use it more often.

[Prev]

I don't understand how the calories expended bouncing on a trampoline could be equivalent to walking.

To be clear, it is obviously better than sitting, but if your goal is weightloss or increased endurance how does reducing the amount of effort you put in help?

I would prefer links to any studies, or references to medical journals they have been published in. Sorry, but I am a skeptic by nature and when things don't make sense I have to see some concrete evidence.

[Soo]

It doesn't reduce the effort. It reduces the impact.  Those are different things.  

If you watch some youtube videos of rebounding workouts you'll see there are lots of ways to put in lots of effort.  I use a heart rate monitor - and even simply jogging on the rebounder I definitely get my heart rate much higher (and keep it there) - and burn more calories on the rebounder than I do on a brisk walk.

[Prev]

But it stores energy from gravity in the springs or elastic bands and uses that to push you back up, which on the ground is energy that would have been generated in your muscles.

If it helps prevent shin splints or irritating your joints or something that's fine, but it still seems like you would have to put more energy into it than walking or running to get the same calorie burn and the point of counting the steps is to estimate calorie burn, right?

[Soo]

Again - it doesn't take away effort - it takes away impact. Rebounders aren't super bouncy and your body doesn't really get pushed up off the rebounder - each bounce requires effort (calories!) on the part of the person using it. My HRM confirms that I am working much harder (and thus burning more calories) jogging on the rebounder than on a brisk walk.  And that's why I love it - it gives me a solid bit of cardio.

Anyway - clearly a rebounder isn't for you.  And that's ok - we all find different fitness activities we enjoy. Keep enjoying yours!

[Prev]

Sorry if I sounded rude or anything, it's just that big list up there reads a lot like the pitch of snake oil salesmen to me, in any case, have fun and have a great day!

[Soo]

You weren't rude -- but you were a bit dismissisve of rebounding without knowing anything about it and I'd hate for others who might enjoy it to be put off by that.  

Most of that list is just variations of ways to say "gets your heart pumping" and  and would be true of many (any!) other cardio activities.

[Prev]

Exactly! That is exactly what I thought.

[RivalDealer]

34. Rebounding will make you rich

35. Rebounding will make you irresistible to the opposite sex

35. Rebounding will mow your lawn

Reads like an infomercial.

Glad you like your rebounder and have found something fun to do. I was just saying to my daughter that I miss our 10ft trampoline we used to have.

[Anita101]

Hi I have just bought a Bellicon, the jumping fitness one. I love it
