What Is Rebounding, Exactly? Does Rebounding Really Work?

Similar in principle to the carefree joy of jumping on a trampoline, rebounding literally involves jumping on what could more accurately be described as a fitness trampoline, or perhaps a mini trampoline. A full-body workout and a great way to strengthen your body’s cells from the inside out, the low-impact design of fitness rebounders like our signature rebounder offers a vigorous cardiovascular experience without the traditional drawbacks or perceived effort of running.

That All Sounds Great. But How Is Your Rebounder Different From Other Fitness Trampolines?

At Leaps & Rebounds, we not only use high-quality materials with our fitness rebounder, but we also use bungees to help absorb and propel you back into the air. Bungees are objectively superior to using conventional fitness trampoline springs because they are safer (no pinching), quieter, more durable, and offer a firmer, superior bounce.

Bungees Rebounders Are Safer than Spring Rebounders

As you might be able to ascertain, bungees are a much safer alternative to springs in that they eliminate the possibility of getting pinched, poked, prodded, or any other word that starts with the letter “p.”

Bungees Trampolines Are Quieter than Spring Trampolines

Because there’s no metal-on-metal and closely-coiled-up springs in our fitness rebounder, you can enjoy a quiet workout (or a loud workout full of heart-pumping jams) that won’t drive you, the kids, or the family dog crazy.

Bungees Are More Durable Than Springs

Conventional springs get rusty over time and give way to a number of headaches after repeated use. Bungees are designed to stand the test of time and won’t snap or break when they’re under pressure. Plus, there’s no maintenance associated with bungees.

Bungees Offer A Firmer, Superior Bounce

Over time, conventional springs will weaken and give way, causing you to “sink” more and more as you’re rebounding. However, this is not the case with bungee springs. Providing an ever-firm yet comfortable bounce as you’re rebounding, you’ll always enjoy a high-quality bounce experience with our fitness trampoline.

How Can I Purchase A Fitness Trampoline With Confidence?

Leaps & Rebounds offers a 30-day risk-free return policy and a lifetime warranty on The Rebounder and our optional stabilizer bar. We also offer free shipping anywhere in the United States.

What are the benefits of rebounding?

Strengthened cells, increased lymph flow and immune system protection, cardiovascular and respiratory gains, improved physical strength and muscular development, and little to no impact on your body.

About Leaps & Rebounds: The Best Bungee Trampolines for Fitness

Q: Is Rebounding Good For Weight loss?

A 10 minute workout bouncing on a rebounder burns between 50 and 150 calories (depending on individual weight). For comparison running a 10 minute mile burns between 80 and 150 calories as well. The biggest difference is the impact on your legs and back while running is a lot greater. The Elliptical machine only burns at most 100 calories in 10 minutes of workout. The real secret to the calorie burning of rebounding is it works your whole body at once. Your body needs to use all of its muscles to stabilize itself in the air and the result is an amazing core and leg workout with a good full body workout on top of it!

What Is Rebounding?

Does Rebounding Really Work?

Rebounding is a unique form of exercise that is excellent for your health and well-being. It entails using a rebounder, which is a mini-trampoline, to rebound at high intensity or low impact depending on the desired workout. What makes rebound exercise such an effective form of physical activity is its ability to provide both aerobic and anaerobic benefits, as well as its efficiency in targeting the entire body with each jump. In addition to these advantages, rebounders make workouts challenging yet fun due to their bouncy surface, making them popular among athletes looking to get fit. Whether used in an indoor setting or outdoors, rebounders make it easy to get creative with exercises while providing great results in little time.

Is Rebounding Good For Weight loss?

Losing Weight.

Rebounding for weight loss is becoming an increasingly popular exercise choice. By rebounding, the body's acceleration with gravity results in a low-impact cardiovascular workout that utilizes all the muscle groups. Rebounding helps to quickly and efficiently burn calories during an intense rebounding session of about 15 minutes. With rebounding, you can expect to lose fat, tone muscles and reduce cellulite in the lower body.

Rebounding for Fitness.

Rebounding strengthens the heart and increases overall fitness levels. With this type of exercise regime, you are also able to work muscles that would otherwise be unused throughout the day resulting in toning and improved body shape. Ultimately rebounding is a great form of exercise for weight loss as it has relatively low impact on your joints while providing a great cardiovascular and muscular workout in fairly short amount of time.
