I got my rebounder 20 years ago. (20 years!) I had read some good things about rebounding and I knew I wanted to be able to benefit from them. I paid a few hundred dollars for a Needak Soft Bounce which was a pretty big investment but if you divide it over 20 years, not so much! I have replaced the springs on it once at a cost of $85. So when you think about paying less than $25/year for something that contributes SO much to your health, it’s a no brainer as to why you should bounce.
Bouncing is super fun. It doesn’t take a long time to get benefits, either. When I bought my rebounder, it came with a VHS tape (you can see how long ago it was!) that showed a white blood cell eating a cancer cell. We all have cancer cells in our bodies and our bodies are made to keep them in check. When I watched the video, my dad had just died from liver cancer. I saw the video and I was sold. Rebound every day for Lauri!
Some benefits of rebounding are:
✅ Anti-inflammatory
✅ 20 minutes jumping up and down = 1 hour of cardiovascular exercise
✅ Gentler on joints and bones than pounding the pavement
✅ Firms whole body
✅ Improves balance
✅ Muscle strengthening – including the heart muscle
✅ Improves bone density
✅ Improves immune system
✅ Improves skin
✅ Improves digestion
✅ Regulates bowel movements
✅ Improves mood
✅ Improves blood sugar control
✅ Immune cells are more active
You don’t even need to bounce hard or high! There is a bounce called the health bounce where your feet never even leave the surface of the rebounder. The health bounce will bring these benefits. After I broke my ankle, I had a little trouble with the bouncing so the health bounce is what I did until I was able to bounce more vigrously.
What do you have to lose? It’s easy, fun, and it’s going to make you healthy. Have you ever rebounded?
