This type of trampoline or rebounder is small in size which makes it suitable for indoor use so if you like exercising from home or you have young children or elderly parents and can't easily leave home to exercise then it is a useful piece of exercise equipment to have. Because of the cushioning impact of each movement it is gentler on your joints while still giving your body a good overall workout. The other key benefit is that they don't take up a lot of space and many models can be packed up to store flat under a bed or in a wardrobe or cupboard.



There are 3 main advantages in regularly using a rebounder trampoline:

Bouncing makes working out seem easier

You'll soon find that using your rebounder as your way of keeping healthy is more enjoyable than other high impact activities like jogging or skipping. The little life you get with each step is kind of like having your own coach encouraging you to keep going. Using a rebounder doesn't have to only be about bouncing up and down on the spot. There are a lot of workout routines available for sale that you can experiment with or you can put on some music of your own that you really like and make up your own routine.

A thirty minute workout 3 times per week is easier to do when you enjoy it and that's what you need to be doing to stay in good shape. If you use a rebounder trampoline, you could do the required amount activity just by bouncing.

2. Improved Muscle Strength

Regular jumping on a rebounder will tone and perfect your muscles. Jumping regularly for a workout session will help to strengthen the muscles in your legs and back, and will also improve your overall muscle tone. Why are strong muscles so important? You will have improved strength, a healthier body and best of all, the more muscles you have to more fat you burn so you will be increasing production on your very own fat burning furnace.

3. Increased Endurance

Regular jumping on a rebounder will improve your endurance as fast or as quickly as you want. If you are using a rebounder at home you can take your time to build up to 10 or 20 or 30 minute sessions or you can put on a workout DVD and let the instructor guide your efforts. After a few weeks you'll start to notice that you're not as puffed anymore and you can do things which may have been difficult before.

As with anything

1. It can stress an already weak bladder. If you already have a weak bladder then you know that bouncing is not the best thing you can do. If that is you and you'd like to be able to master it then start doing those kegels and then give it a try.

2. You need a good bra

Lots of bouncing is also not good if you are large breasted or find it difficult to find a good support bra. Again if you're unsure try before you buy.

3. Balance maybe a problem

If your balance is not great then buy a rebounder with a support bar.

If you do decide to purchase a rebounder then make sure you buy a well built product that is going to be able to comfortably take your weight and is easy to pack away if you have limited space.,If after reading the above you'd like to give a rebounder a try then make sure that you take your safety into consideration and only purchase something that has been well made. A cheaply made product will cost you dearly in the longer term if you get injured.
