The Benefits of Rebounding

It’s FUN!

It makes you smile and laugh…genuinely bringing you joy. This is based on my personal experience and from observing so many fellow rebound instructors and clients loving bouncing for fun.
I dare you to come along to a class and NOT smile!

Improved Immune System (via lymphatic drainage)

The jumping motion of rebounding causes the lymphatic system’s valves to open and close which in turn pumps out the toxins.
Known as ‘The Hangover Workout’ – as it eliminates toxins more effectively than any other form of exercise.
Just 2 minutes a day aids lymphatic drainage.

Strengthens every cell in the body

All cells become stronger in response to the increase in G-Force during rebounding, as the cell’s membranes adapt to the gentle stress of the G-Force and strengthen.

Strengthens Bladder & Pelvic Floor (and great post-pregnancy)

Rebounding exerts a force on the cell walls of the bladder encouraging it to become stronger.
Bouncing on an unstable surface challenges balance leading to involuntary contractions of the deep core muscles and the weakened sphincter muscles.
Just 15 minutes a day can help bladder sensitivity.

Rebound for More Energy

Rebounding is a cellular exercise as it activates all the cells of the body. As the cells use up energy, more mitochondria (the powerhouses of the cells) are produced, creating more energy to burn.

Burns Calories Fast

To lose weight, you must use more calories than you consume.
Rebounding enables you to burn calories and build muscles.
Rebounding burns more calories than running (68% more effective).
Beginners can burn up to 700 calories in an hour-long class.
Rebounding is a weight-bearing exercise due to the G-Force the body is subjected to that strengthens the whole body.

Speeds Recovery

As the lymphatic system is stimulated it eliminates waste products including lactic acid. Therefore, encouraging more productive workouts and greater strength.

Improves Proprioception and Balance

The unstable surface of the rebounder forces the body to adapt to a constantly changing base of support, thereby challenging balance and coordination (kinesthetic awareness).
Consistent training also improves proprioception.

Improves Posture

Rebounding engages the deep core muscles of the inner unit of the body.
Exercising on an unstable surface activates many motor recruitment patterns which help ensure the correct body position is achieved, which trains and corrects postural defects.

Improves Bone Density

Rebounding helps to promote osteoblastic activity thereby stimulating bone growth and restoring bone density.
Osteoporosis Concerns – Rebounding offers low impact weight-bearing exercise needed for bone growth and repair (kind on joints and soft tissue).

Low Impact Exercise

Rebounding absorbs 87% of impact on the body, compared to similar HIIT (High Impact Intensity Training) activity
It helps avoid injury and aids rehabilitation and recovery.
