How Can A Mini Trampoline Really Help Me Stay Healthy?

Stay Healthy Rebounding

Regarding trampoline exercises, my first impression of a rebounder or mini trampoline was – this is ridiculous, a waste of time, just a toy. It certainly could not help me to stay healthy – and I don’t want to waste my time.

The idea of trampoline fitness brought up all the questions listed below why a mini trampoline should not be the best exercise machine or exercise workout equipment to contribute to staying healthy.

Is Rebounding Really That Good For You?

When I first heard of rebounding, I really thought it was just a pretend mini trampoline toy for children. It actually turned out to be a real surprise for me!

Why I Thought A Rebounder Is Just A Waste Of Time!

1) It doesn’t offer anything I don’t already do running or weight training!

I discovered it provided me with additional benefits to stay healthy.

Rebounding for longer than 20 minutes at a moderate intensity increases the mitochondria count within the muscle cells, essential for endurance.
Rebounding adds to the alkaline reserve of the body, which may be of significance in an emergency requiring prolonged effort.
Rebounding improves coordination between the propreoceptors in the joints, the transmission of nerve impulses to and from the brain, transmission of nerve impulses and responsiveness of the muscle fibers.
Rebounding improves the brain’s responsiveness to the vestibular apparatus within the inner ear, thus improving balance.
Rebounding provides an increased G-force (gravitational load), which strengthens the musculoskeletal systems of your entire body.
It also strengthens every cell in your entire body simultaneously, not being limited to only engaging the cells in those muscles being used to run or weight train.

2) I already enjoy all the benefits of staying healthy from running and weight training.

I realized that rebounding protects the joints from the chronic fatigue and impact delivered by exercising on hard surfaces.
Also rebounding aids lymphatic circulation by stimulating the millions of one-way valves in the lymphatic system. – thereby greatly enhancing the immune system to stay healthy.

3) Rebounding is not as good as running or weight training for staying healthy.

It is only intended to add tremendous benefits to your existing workout, not to replace it.

Of course, rebounding is vastly better than no exercise at all. Alternating interval speed running in place on a rebounder with regular rebounder high jumping will do a lot to get you in shape. The higher and longer you rebound the greater shape you will be in.
