Rebounding for Health

Using a rebounder is a surprisingly effective way to improve your health and overall well-being. The benefits are many and include improvements in muscle mass, endurance, the digestive system, bone density, the lymphatic system, the nervous system, metabolism, circulatory system, balance, cholesterol, and even vision. It is all about how a rebounder allows you to use gravity to your advantage.

Intuitively, one thinks that using a mini trampoline (a rebounder) is comparable to aerobic activities such as jogging or cycling. Rebounding is a great form of aerobic exercise and doesn't have the bone-jarring impacts associated with running and jogging. However, unlike other activities, the g-force from rebounding exercises every single cell in your body. When you reach the bottom of your bounce, you are subjected to about 1.5g (50% increase in the force of gravity). At the top of your bounce you are weightless. This forces your body at the cellular level to strengthen itself because of the constant cycle of increased/decreased stress placed uniformly across your body.
