How to Start Rebounding

Rebounding is a fantastic form of exercise.  It is low impact so it is very easy on the joints, which means anyone of any age can do it, no matter what your fitness level.  Rebounding can help you lose weight, detox, build muscle, improve stability and balance.

If you are interested in looking at some rebounders you can see our REBOUNDER REVIEWS.

Ideally you want to be rebounding for about 15 mins a day.  This can be broken into three 5 mins sessions during the day until you feel comfortable with the rebounder.  If you have a good level of fitness you may be able to start with 15mins in one session.

Rebounding can be categorized into three basic types of jumps, health, strength and aerobic.

The Health Jump is bouncing up and down on the rebounder in a gently rhythmic motion.  This is a great low impact exercise and gets your lymphatic system moving.  Perfect for doing while watching tv.

The Strength Jump involves jumping high on the rebounder.  This is great for building core and leg muscles, stability, balance and agility.

The Aerobic Jump involves high-intensity moves, jumping jacks, high knees or running on the spot.  This jump is great for improving your aerobic fitness and stamina on the rebounder.  You will be sweating in no time.

You can also increase the difficulty level of your workout by adding ankle weights or holding hand weights for extra resistance.

You can rebounding anywhere indoors or outdoors, listening to music or in front of the tv.
