"Rebounding is the most effective and efficient form of exercise ever devised by man." A. Carter summarized a NASA study in 1979, which NASA published in the Journal of Applied Physiology in 1980. Using a mini trampoline (rebounding) can provide a variety of health benefits to the body. Rebounding is an easy activity that almost anyone can do and can provide a way to improve health and fitness levels.
Mini trampoline exercises ("bounce" to the experienced) provide excellent total body training. They will target your lower back, quads, cords, glutes, calves and core, while also getting your heart rate up and pumping to combat cardiovascular disease. A new study by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) finds that bouncing on a mini trampoline for less than 20 minutes is just as good for you as running, but feels better and is a lot more fun.
