Rebounding
Celia doesn’t make it a point of selling products on line. But she is so passionate about the benefits of rebounding on a quality mini-trampoline that she has decided to sell different models of JumpSport Fitness Trampolines. These units have the following benefits:
MIND
Rebounding is an effective form of exercise by which the user gains a sense of control and an improved self image
Better mental performance with keener learning processes
Improves coordination between the proprioceptors in the joints, the transmission of nerve impulses to and from the brain, transmission of nerve impulses and responsiveness of the muscle fibers
Improves balance by improving brain’s responsiveness to the vestibular apparatus within the inner ear
Reduces feelings of anxiety and depression by an increase in endorphins.
BODY
Aids lymphatic circulation by stimulating the millions of one-way valves in the lymphatic system
Reduces Blood Pressure when the arterial pressures rise during exertion
Enhances digestion and elimination processes
Encourages blood circulation by increasing the capillary count in the muscles and decreasing the distance between the capillaries and the target cells
Helps manage body composition and improves muscle-to-fat ratio

Rebounding on a mini trampoline is an activity that works every muscle of the body allowing for a true total body workout which improves your muscle-to-fat ratio. It can reduce cellulite (yes, read that again), and burn calories fast. Jumping boosts metabolism and improves resting metabolic rate so you can burn calories long after a workout. It will lower circulating cholesterol and triglyceride levels too. Rebounding also enhances digestion and your elimination process which contributes to weight loss.
How much weight you lose and how quickly you lose it depends on the number of calories you take in, how much you burn when you exercise and consistency. Rebounding results vary depending on your body weight.
Interestingly a study in PLOS One showed that short bursts of interval training to be more advantageous than 50 minutes of continuous exercise. Hence, as not everyone has time to work out for an hour at a time, short bursts of physical activity on your rebounder throughout the day might be a much better, more convenient and more enjoyable alternative to going to the gym. Just start bouncing. You will notice that you will be toning your body, boosting your immune system, improving blood flow, increasing oxygenation and building strong muscles and bones. All this without the long tortuous work out! And what’s really great is that you can do all this while you are watching TV or listening to music, talking on the phone or just spacing out. It is an economical, convenient, safe, fun, easy and portable program for all ages! (In fact, you might have to fight with your kids and spouse to get rebounding time).
