Using a mini trampoline on a regular basis will increase your metabolism and improve muscle tone which helps you lose weight and burn calories at a much higher rate.  Dramatic fat loss can be seen with continued use of a rebounder.

The main reason for this is because mini trampoline exercise activates the lymph system fluid that circulates in between the cells to carry waste and flush the toxins out of our bodies.  The lymph system is also known as our immune system and when these toxins build up it poisons our bodies and our health begins to decline.  When these toxins are flushed out, our health improves and our bodies are able to function more efficiently.

Mini trampoline exercises work every muscle group to help sculpt and tone your entire body.  Rebounder exericise is much safer than regular exercise because the mat of the rebounder absorbs most of the impact shock.  It is excellent for people with joint and back problems.

Many joggers are plagued with ankle and knee injuries – mini trampoline exercise keeps you from experiencing these problems.  It is also so much fun that you will look forward to doing it every day.   There is such a variety of exercises that you can perform that you never get bored with it.  You can jump, dance, twist, jog or do any other movements that you can think of.

Please be aware that you should start slowly with your mini trampoline exercise program.  You will be using muscle groups that are not normally worked.  Begin with about five minutes a day and then add five minutes each day to end up with a thirty minute workout.  It is acceptable to break the thirty minute workout up into two or three sessions if time is an issue.

Below is a basic thirty minute workout plan:

Warm Up – A slow bounce for five minutes – Stand on the rebounder with feet about 6-8 inches apart – with your feet still on the mat begin to bounce very gently.  Make sure you keep your feet on the mat – this gentle bouncing is also called the “Health Bounce”.  It will start moving your lymph fluid to flush out toxins in your body.  Many people do this “Health Bounce” several times during the day to help keep the lymph fluid moving.  It will also give you an energy boost.  So if you are feeling tired or sluggish during the day,  get on your rebounder and “Health Bounce” for a few minutes.

High Bouncing – Really start jumping for ten minutes – You don’t have to bounce too high – This high bouncing will help you boost your metabolism and really start to burn lots of calories.  It builds strength, endurance and muscle tone.

Aerobic Bounce- An aerobic workout for ten minutes – This can be any fast paced exercise you want to do – You can jog, twist, or dance.  Include arm exercises such as punches, bicep curls, or arm reaches – You are burning maximum calories at this point.

Cool Down – A slow bounce for five minutes – Same as the warm up – keep your feet on the mat and bounce slowly.

Your mini trampoline can also be used for ab exercises.  Sit on your rebounder and begin to bounce with your butt. Begin with your feet on the floor, if you can, try bouncing with your feet straight out. Start out slowly – bouncing for 3-5 minutes.

Don’t make the mistake of purchasing a cheap mini trampoline. They don’t last and they can even be dangerous. The springs in the cheap rebounders tend to break very quickly which can cause serious injury. The rebounder mats are made of inferior material which can cause damage to your joints because you won’t get the needed soft bounce like you do with the better quality rebounders.

I highly recommend the Needak rebounder. I have owned one for years and have been very happy with the quality and the soft bounce of the mat.    If you are serious about sculpting a lean body, getting healthier and losing weight, this is the mini trampoline exerciser that you should invest in.  It will provide you with a lifetime of fun and healthy exercise.

The best way to shape and tone your body is with pilates.  Pilates is a total body sculpting program which helps you strengthen your core (torso), build flexibility, endurance and strength without building muscle bulk.   Almost anyone can do pilates and all it takes is a twenty minute workout three times a week.  You will quickly see results.  Your posture, overall health and muscle tone will improve dramatically.  The pilates workout uses very controlled movements which sculpt and strengthen your body.  Many athletes, Hollywood actors and dancers use pilates to lose weight and tone their bodies.  I highly recommend the Winsor Pilates Basic Workout System. This is how to get a lean body the easy way.

Another fun and easy exercise which quickly burns calories and helps to give you a leaner body is rebounder exercises (mini trampoline).  When you exercise on a mini trampoline you will burn more calories than regular exercise and it is a lot more fun.  You can jog, march, dance, do jumping jacks and many other exercises that will give you a total body workout.  There are also many other health benefits of using a rebounder.  Rebounder exercise helps to reduce cellulite and increase your lymphatic circulation.

Along with exercising, you must also make sure you are eating a sensible diet.  Avoiding processed foods and replacing them with whole natural foods is essential to achieving a lean and toned body.  You daily diet should include lots of fruits, vegetables, wild caught fish, lean meats, whole grains and nuts.  

Drinking enough water to hydrate your cells for optimal fat burning and to reduce water retention is very important.  Drink a large glass of filtered water every hour.
