About 10 years ago, my mom purchased a mini-trampoline. Every time I walked in a room and seen her jumping on it, I would bust out laughing. She was always trying to convince me of the health benefits from rebounding. I just blew it off because I couldn’t understand how jumping on this tiny trampoline could help anything.
Fast forward a few years later, I started researching fitness more and stumbled upon a few articles about rebounding. I hate to admit it but my mom was right.
This is an easy way to move your lymphatic system. It is the only exercise that strengthens, cleanses, and tones every cell in the body. The lymph system works according to our movement. Without movement, the toxins, poisons and heavy metals will lay stagnant in our body.
The way rebounding flushes the lymphatic system is by the constant up and down motion.
It will also automatically improve your posture, engage your abs, and help your balance when you are bouncing.
Just by simply jumping up and down you will experience all of these benefits. I try to challenge myself more, so I do high knees or jump side to side. For detox support, rebound for at least 15 minutes daily. Try three five-minute sessions throughout the day. For weight loss support, rebound for 15-20 minutes at moderate intensity in one period, at least three times per week. Don’t rebound right after eating or drinking.
Here is a list of even more benefits you can gain with rebounding:
- Great for skeletal system and increasing bone mass
- Helps improve digestion
- Strengthens heart muscle and other muscles, causing them to work with greater efficiency
- Protects the joints from the chronic fatigue and impact delivered by exercising on hard surfaces.
- Rebounding circulates more oxygen to the tissues.
- helps to improve lung capacity and respiration
- Promotes Better Sleep
The one I own is called the Urban Rebounder. A lot of places will sell mini trampolines for $30-$100 but the surface of these inexpensive models can be unstable and allow too much recoil too quickly which can throw your ankles, knees, and hips out of alignment. Make sure you do your research and invest in a high quality one!
