Health Benefits of Rebounding

When I first started looking into a rebounder or mini trampoline I couldn't believe how many research articles and health benefits articles that were around about rebounding. Here's some snippets to what I discovered:


"Provides a calorie burning strength conditioning workout"

A fun workout program that builds strength, cardiovascular capacity, and balance without jarring the body like other exercises

Simultaneously works all the major muscle groups and provides a calorie burning strength conditioning exercise

A total body workout that alongside cardiovascular movements, includes abdominal exercise, squats, lunges, push-ups, dips.

The Best Rebounders

In my research for a rebounder, the Cellerciser, Needak and Reboundair are ones I wish I could of had a choice at. Unfortunately in Australia the pickings for rebounders are limited. Lucky people in the US have a lot more choices.

The Urban rebounder, which I ended up with as I couldn't get the above mentioned brands, is still a better choice than any of the cheaper ones bought at sporting goods stores or department stores, but I wouldn't mind a softer bounce than it affords.

Not knowing any better at the time I decided to get a mini trampoline and not doing much research on them. I bought a cheap one and the jarring I got on the bounce sent shooting pains up my back. I don't get that with the Urban rebounder.  At the time I did have a sore back but I'm glad I got the Urban rebounder in the end, however, I would of splurged on either a Cellerciser, Needak or Reboundair had I been able too.

Buying A Mini Trampoline.

I was looking at doing some exercise because I have become very slack and don't do much. I have developed a bit of a sore back which I largely blame on my slackness. Anyway I was racking my head thinking of something that would be easy, not take up much room and I would enjoy.

I remembered years ago when I used to go to the gym they had these mini trampolines and I thought. That's it!

Without putting much research into this I ordered one from Deals Direct (Australia). It cost all up AUD$60. I received it but geez, it was so hard, there was no give in the springs at all. I might as well have been bouncing on a hard surface compared to that thing.
