Rebounding Exercises

How you go about exercising on your rebounder is matter of personal choice. You could rebound while watching TV, listening to music, or while outside enjoying nature. You can choose to bounce along with a workout video specifically for rebounding. If you would rather not exercise at home, you could also attend a rebounding class at a health club or gym.

Rebounding exercises can be much more diverse than simply pulse bouncing.

Rebounding exercises can be much more diverse than simply pulse bouncing. Many different moves can be used while rebounding. Walking, climbing, shuffling, skipping, jogging, or sprinting motions are options. If you like to dance, you can boogie, twist, cha cha, or plie on a rebounder. Sports such as boxing, martial arts, skiing, skating, tennis, baseball, and basketball can also be imitated while rebounding. Many non-standing bounce movements are also possible, such as sitting, squatting, kneeling and reclining. Using different types of body movements creates a more absorbing and diverse rebounder workout.

Those who prefer to combine weight training with their rebounding workout have a few options. Weights can be used for different arm and leg motions. Hamstring curls and twists are easy to do while bouncing. You can also perform jumping jacks, military presses, and other motions for improving muscle strength. One thing is certain–rebounding exercises are anything but dull.

Rebounding can also be a valuable part of a circuit training program. Three videos are available that integrate rebounding into a circuit program. These videos include G-Force by Traci Long of the Firm, Interval Bound by Shannon Griffiths of Urban Rebounding and Circuit Training by Blanche Black of Fit as a Fiddle.

Non-bouncing rebounding exercises are also possible. A rebounder makes an excellent prop for stretching, yoga postures, breath management techniques, Pilates techniques, and abdominal crunch sessions.

The three factors that can be used to control the intensity of your rebounding exercise are technique, rhythm, and height. Movements such as bringing your arms above shoulder height and doing high knee jogs or high kicks are the more intense techniques. You can bounce at a faster rate for more physically challenging exercise and you can bounce higher for a greater G-force or weight training effect. You can also enhance the weight training aspect by using hand, wrist, thigh or ankle weights when you rebound.
