What is rebounding?

Rebounding is a type of aerobic exercise that is performed while jumping on a mini-trampoline. Jumps can be fast or slow, and can be mixed with rest or aerobic stepping.

Rebounding can help work the muscles in the legs, increase your endurance, and strengthen your bones, among a number of other benefits. This type of exercise is gaining popularity because it’s gentle on the joints but allows you to work your cardiovascular system without taxing the body.

Read on to learn about the benefits of rebounding, plus safety tips and more.

Why you should try rebounding

Rebounding is a low-impact cardiovascular exercise. It’s generally appropriate for people of all ages, from children to older adults.

Following are some additional benefits of rebounding:

• Works the abdominal (core), leg, buttock, and deep back muscles.
• May help improve endurance
• May stimulate the lymphatic system. Rebounding may help your body flush out toxins, bacteria, dead cells, and other waste products.
• May help improve balance, coordination, and overall motor skills.
• Supports bone density, bone strength, and bone formation, while decreasing bone resorption, so it may be a good option if you have osteoporosis. Bouncing puts small amounts of pressure on the bones, which helps them grow stronger.
• May support pelvic floor health, according to anecdotal reports. Bouncing works the muscles of the deep core that help prevent urinary incontinence and stabilize hip joints.
