In this blog post, I’m going to share how exercising on a rebounder helps with weight loss. Did you know making gentle bounces on a rebounder where your feet may not completely leave the rebounder can bring health and weight loss benefit? Sounds crazy right? You may even be laughing, but here’s the fact one cannot make fun of.
According to NASA’s research, rebounding offers an increased gravitational load or G-force that benefits our body by strengthening our musculoskeletal system. Aside from improving the muscle-to-fat ratio, it gradually improves the resting metabolic rate of the person which results in more calories being burned for hours after a rebounding exercise. Rebounding is also considered by many health practitioners as the most effective movement therapy to increase lymph flow and release toxins from the body.
Rebounding Boosts the Lymphatic System so it’s Ready to Stand Guard
You may be wondering how does rebounding work? There are several types of exercise that target certain muscles of the body or increase the cardiovascular function. Rebounding is a low impact exercise that utilizes the forces of acceleration and deceleration that work on each cell in the human body. Several actions take place when bouncing on a rebounder or mini-trampoline like this one mentioned in the video.
The up and down motion as you bounce on a rebounder lets your cells respond to the gravity-based exercise which is highly beneficial for your lymphatic system. Our lymph system is responsible for transporting immune cells and supports our immune function. As you practice the art of rebounding you are already helping your body and overall health by detoxifying and boosting your immune system function.
Rebounding Exercise for Weight Loss
Rebounding is not only convenient and enjoyable but it can also be an activity that can help you lose weight. The amount of weight and how quickly you lose from a rebounding exercise is influenced by several factors such as the intensity and quantity of your rebounding. The longer period of time and the more frequent of each rebounding workout, the more you can lose weight. More so, rebounding with more intensity will give you a good chance to lose weight more quickly.

The Art of Rebounding
Rebounding looks fun, convenient, and easy however there’s certainly much more to bouncing on a rebounder than meets the eye. Let’s get started with your rebounding workout. It begins with a warm-up by performing a basic bounce. This will help you tone your glutes, calf muscles, and quads so you’ll be prepared to perform a whole-body exercise. Stand on the rebounder with your feet apart. Relax the arms but with a slight bend of the elbow then bounce up and down lightly. Make sure to keep your knees slightly bend and your feet must also come just a few inches off the rebounder.
You can repeat this exercise up to thirty times. You can do a few main sets of rebounding such as jumping jacks, planks, push up advance move, and trampoline squats. People can challenge themselves using a variety of movements and jumping as high as they can to yield greater results while still being unreservedly safe.

Live well,
I don’t think the notion of using a mini trampoline is laughable at all. It make sense. I stumbled upon your website and found lots of valuable info on the subject. You might be just the person I am looking for. My friend has been on the Keto diet and has not had any success with it for some strange reason. I told him I would look into it to try to help him out. My thoughts are pointing towards his calorie intake although he is certain that he is consuming a calorie deficit. I have come across a product at http://bit.ly/2LwSdIq that may help him out. I wonder if you have an opinion on this product as it would be much appreciated.
Looks like a great product! I just purchased it, thanks for sharing!
Hi Mimi, I love your website, and I love the rebounder, too. I bought one myself so I could get a decent workout during these long Manitoba winters. I too have a weight loss goal. Mine is coming off slowly. I was doing pretty good, until Christmas… Then all the Christmas baking I was so kindly given! You have to find what works for you and than stay with it. Slow and steady wins the race, is what I am counting on.
Thank you Carolyn, I’m so happy that you love them. And yes, slow and steady does win the race. I’m down almost 40lbs and loving it! Hope you’re still on track to your goal. ♡
