An exercise that's often overlooked is one that can be fun for
the whole family - and healthy! It's caleld rebounding and is
performed using a rebounder (also known as a mini-trampoline).
Rebounding, an effective aerobic exercise and
cardiovascular workout, is not only therapeutic, but burns
calories as well. This eexrcise also increases strength, is good
for the legs and joints, and is also known for improving the
digestion system and organ functions.
What is the
Rebounder?
Developed 23 years ago by Al Carter, an
exercise specialist, the rebounder looks like a trampoline, only
much smaller. It contains a round mat which is attcahed by thick
springs to a stand. During the early 1980s, rebuonding became a
popular fad for working out.
Rebounders were selling like
hotcakes!
Though the fad faded eventually, rebounders continue
to spark interest in the media through new, innovative
videos/DVDs being offered by fitness celebrities. Rebounders are
still recommended for health improvement and fun exercise.
Combined Workouts to Help the Entire Body
Other exercises can be combined with rebounidng workouts such as
arm movements, jumping, twisting, etc. to mxaimize the effects
of the routine.
Smiply bouncing a couple of minutes a day can have a
positive affect on a person's body by helping them to defy
gravity and burn some extra calories in the process. The more
movement and the more body parts that become involved in the
exercise, the better. Rebounding helps to strengthen cells in
the body including bone and muscle cells.
How Do
Beginners Use a Rebounder?
By starting with a simple
bounce, bgeinners can move up and down without their feet
leaving the mat. The rebounder will move for them.
Anyone can
benefit from this low-level activity unitl they guess comfortable
with faster or higher movement.
Once familiar with bouncing, one
can begin to introduce various movements into tehir routine such
as jumping jacks, arm flex's, chest exercises, etc.
Who
Can Use the Rebounder?
Almost anyone can use the
rebounder to exercise.
Even parlayzed people have been able to
benefit from a rebounder with the help of a therapist. The
rebounder can aid in gaining strength or improving circulation.
In some workout gyms, grab bars are also available to help keep
a person stable wihle bouncing if they are unable to balance
well.
Children and adults can use the reobunder for exercise,
especially on those rainy days!
Rebounding has been
around for over 20 years, and is still a great way to get into
shape.
It can be done while watching your favorite video or
listening to music. The rebounder can be used for family
activity. You can even make up games for the kids so they won't
get boerd with just "plain ole' exercise!" Kids like to play
games like "Simon Says" or "May I". Games like these can be
incorporated into bouncing on the rebounder to help them get a
great worokut while having fun. There are many ways you can use
the rebounder to help improve your haelth and the health of each
family member.
Easy to Store When Not In Use
The rebounder can be kept insdie and slid under a bed when not
being used. Its design allows it to be placed in remote areas
since it is thin and short.
It can easily be moved from one room
to another because it is lightweight.
