Physical benefits of mini trampoline exercise

Exercising on a mini trampoline is called rebounding. Rebounding is the way to good heart health and strong muscles. All this and fun too. Did you ever think that exercise could be fun? Rebounding takes you back to your childhood days when you would jump and bounce on anything that was taut like the couch or bed. Now you can have that fun again by using rebounding as a mini trampoline exercise.

Rebounding on your mini trampoline takes some time for a beginner to learn. By no means should you rebound without wearing shoes. Rebounding barefoot can cause serious injury to your feet. Like any other exercise rebounding takes some time and practice to get used to. And just as you would in any other exercise you should do simple warm up exercises outside of the trampoline so that your muscles will adjust to what is coming.

Set up your mini trampoline in an area that is free of anything that can get in the way of your exercises and have something stable near by that you can hold on too if you need to. To begin your mini trampoline exercise, whether you are a beginning rebounder or advanced, start out slowly. Step onto the center of the trampoline but do not start jumping immediately. Instead, without lifting your feet just lightly jump. When you have become somewhat accustomed to the feeling then begin to jump increasing how high you jump as you become adjusted to the mini trampoline.

A good mini trampoline exercise is one that increases the heart rate and that is to jog rather than jump. To do this exercise, stand on the trampoline and lift your feet slightly off the floor of the trampoline and begin to walk increasing the walk to a jog.

This is a mini trampoline exercise for the advanced rebounder. It is just a jumping jack exercise but done on the trampoline while bouncing. Spread your feet slightly apart and bounce raising your hands above your head with each bounce. Doing this exercise on the trampoline is much easier on your body than doing it on the floor.

Another mini trampoline exercise for the advanced rebounder can be a little more difficult and caution should be taken to avoid falling off the trampoline. Do not bounce but lift your one foot to the surface of the trampoline while lifting the arm of the same side and do the same for the other side. The bounce here is minimal and not the usual bounce.

Once you have become accustomed to the feel and balance of the trampoline each mini trampoline exercise mentioned will become easier and you can either add or detract some of the action to rebound faster, higher or slower. However, caution should always be exercised. Sometimes as a person becomes better at something they tend to get too comfortable with it and that’s when they can get hurt. Which ever one you choose the mini trampoline exercise is meant to make you feel healthier by having fun.
