Rebound Exercise Routines

Rebound exercise is the use of a mini-trampoline to reduce stress on the body while exercising all body parts. Because it incorporates all body parts, rebound exercise is referred to as cellular exercise. By moving all the body parts at the same time, it is believed that all cells become aerobic and begin to release toxins and absorb nutrients more effectively. As a result, this is a more efficient exercise routine than other traditional regimens, becoming a body cleanse in motion.

  1. Health Bounce

    • The health bounce is a low impact bounce where the person does not leave the mat of the trampoline. By just getting the bounce to flow up and down, the body can gently warm-up while relieving tension, improving balance and stimulating the nerves throughout the body.

    Strength Bounce

    • Routines where a person leaves the mat increases the G force on the body. A body at rest stands at 1 G. The higher a person goes, the higher the G force on the body, increasing oxygen absorption and requiring the muscles to work harder to maintain balance and jump higher. Legs should be kept at shoulder width apart while jumping. To vary the jump, raise the legs mid-air or try to land on the toes and roll toward the heals during the landing.

    Aerobic Bounce

    • Aerobic bounce workouts are fun. A person can vary the workout by jogging, sprinting, twisting or doing jumping jacks. It is important to vary the workout to make sure boredom doesn't set in. By raising the arms above the heard, oxygen flow to the heart is increased. Shuffling, kicking and leg extensions can also help mobilize body parts and stimulate blood flow. Aerobic routines should start with heath bounce routines and can be intermixed with strength bounces for maximum benefits.

    Therapeutic Bounce Routines

    • There are two other bounce routines: buddy bounce and sitting bounce. The buddy bounce is for someone who is unable to bounce on his own such as an invalid or even a baby. Here the person is placed on the bouncer and someone jumps for him to give them the benefit of the motion. Sitting bounce routines are great for people who are unable to stand but can use this method to strengthen their core and leg muscles.
