Rebounder (Mini-Trampoline)
What is a Rebounder?
The rebounder is a mini-trampoline used in
circuit-training in many gyms and fitness studios. Rebounding was revitalized
in 1998 when J.B. Berns first introduced his "urban rebounding"
group exercise class in New York. A relatively lightweight piece of fitness
apparatus, rebounders or mini-trampolines offer an effective aerobic workout
which results in improved strength, co-ordination, and balance. Rebounder
workouts exercise both muscles and skeleton. As a result, rebounding helps
to build bone mass and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
Rebounders Offer Low-Impact Workouts
An exercise routine on a rebounder or mini-trampoline
is a relatively low-impact workout, as the soft surface absorbs 87 percent
of the shock, when bouncing. So it's a good fitness workout for joints
and ligaments.
Rebounders Improve Lymph Flow
According to some studies, rebound exercise
on a trampoline stimulates the lymph flow better than any other form of
exercise-workout. Without a strong circulation of the lymph, waste can
build up within the body leading to symptoms of illness.

Rebounder Mini-Trampoline
and Weight
Rebounder Mini-Trampolines improve health
and fitness, build muscle tissue, and develop a leaner body shape. They
also help to raise metabolism and may also help to develop a flat stomach.
To lose fat and reduce weight, workouts using Rebounder trampolines need
to be combined with a calorie-controlled diet. Because unless you create
a calorie deficit, you can't burn fat and therefore lose weight.
