Hop Into Fitness With A Rebounder

By Jane Bracken

Workouts are renowned as rigorous and painful experiences that no one wants to do. Not only are they time consuming, but they are expensive and often times take up a lot of space if you try to have a home gym. Ultimately, there is no real way to have fun while building muscle - besides one. A trampoline is a great way to improve your fitness while having a blast.

A rebounder is a small scale trampoline that can even be purchased in such designs as a folding rebounder. These folding rebounders merely fold in the middle to make them extremely portable. So take your enjoyable workout that is easy on the body yet extremely healthy for it anywhere you please.

You may think jumping is less effective that actually going walking. However, you are incorrect. If you jump for an hour you will burn over ten more calories than walking at three miles per hour and also relieve all of the tension that builds up around the joins from walking on hard surfaces. No more freezing cold runs or muggy day jogs, instead just set up your rebounder in front of your favorite television show or a rebounder DVD and get to working out.

Like most exercises, rebounding is designed to get your blood flowing and your heart racing. Walking lacks a lot of the benefits you get from rebounding. Some of these are building better balance and stronger muscles. Keeping yourself upright while jumping is a difficult thing to do after a while, hence the potential to strengthen your body.

The best part about rebounders is they are cheap. You can get a quality rebounder for thirty dollars but the more durable and better materials are often sold with DVD's and other workout gear for over a hundred dollars. No matter what you plan to do with the rebounder there is one that fits perfectly with your budget.

If your age or current shape has you doubting a rebounder, be assured there is a workout and rebounder for you. Not only does it provide less stress on joints for the older individuals but it provides great exercise for children as they can focus their endless energy on bouncing. Rebounding leads to a stronger heart and immune system along with a better looking body and improved circulation - something that all ages can benefit from.

Other benefits include a more youthful appearance, more energy and a better outlook on life as a result. Trampoline buying customers can expect these results with a little dedication and a lot of enjoyment of the product, working out as little as 20 minutes three times a week or as often as you want to.

So jump on board the latest fitness craze that is built on solid, simple exercise principles, and jump on a mini-trampoline. Your heart, muscles, brain, joints (and maybe even your spouse) will thank you. But best of all, you'll thank yourself for the way you feel.
