The Easiest & Most Effective Exercise in the World!
Imagine, a piece of exercise equipment that can strengthen the entire body from the inside out; increase circulation, improve digestion and elimination, melt away fat, strengthen the heart, improve cell efficiency. Stimulate body functions; thyroid, endocrine system, adrenals, strengthen muscles and bones, release stress and help you live a longer more productive life. One piece of equipment for all age groups to improve the immune system, fight diseases and reverse the symptoms of aging. Dr Young, author of The pH Miracle
Rebounding for Brilliant Health
There are many ways to get fit, but rebounding has to be the most efficient, most effective and easiest.
Rebounding, or jumping on a mini-trampoline is easy, it is low-weight bearing (so anyone can do it, at any size or any level of fitness) and the benefits are wide-ranging and astonishing.
Just for starters, it burns more calories than jogging!
When you use a rebounder it tones muscle, rebuilds cells (slowing the aging process), burns fat, cleanses the lymph system, increases metabolism, strengthens the heart and increases energy.
And the best part? Just 15 minutes per day on a rebounder will see you experience significant benefits. That is right, just 15 minutes per day.
Benefits of Rebounding on a Rebounder!
The benefits of exercising on a mini trampoline are astonishing and those listed above barely scratch the surface. NASA state that exercise on a rebounder is
The most efficient and effective exercise yet devised by man”. It is an excellent, non-impact, aerobic exercise gained by bouncing on a mini-trampoline.
It is a unique exercise in which a weightless state is achieved at the top of each jump and landing achieves twice the force of gravity on each bounce. This shift in gravity benefits every muscle and cell of the body and provides huge benefits to the lymph and immune systems (which seriously lowers cancer risk).
On studying the benefits of rebounding, NASA found that a 150-pound individual spending one-hour on a rebounder will burn more calories than the same person jogging for an hour!
This makes it 68% more efficient than jogging (NASA, Journal of Applied Physiology 49(5): 881-887)
My research has also found that rebounding:
- Fights fatigue by strengthening the glandular system to increase the capabilities of the thyroid gland, the pituitary gland and the adrenals.
- Rebounding has a natural analgesic effect on the body which helps to relieve joints and pain in the neck, back, and head through the increase of circulation and oxygen flow.
- Conditions and strengthens the heart which allows the resting heart to beat less often. This in turn sends a stronger surge of blood through the veins.
- It provides an extremely effective ‘no impact’ exercise – especially important for those with less mobility or undergoing rehabilitation.
- Rebounding has been found to lower elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
- It increases metabolism which assists the body in burning more calories.
- One of the primary causes of aging is the declining performance of the heart and circulatory system. Rebounding is incredibly effective in increasing the performance of both the heart and the circulatory system and thus slows the aging process.
- Rebounding specifically stimulates the flow of lymph fluid through the lymphatic system. The change in gravitational forces allows for greater blood flow and this increases the amount of waste and toxins flushed from the body. Rebounding can increase lymph flow by up to 15%!
- As mentioned above, rebounding provides an increased G-force (gravitation load) and every cell in our body becomes stronger in response to this. Healingdaily.com report that ‘this cellular exercise results in the self-propelled immune cells being up to 5 times more active. These immune cells are responsible for eating viruses, bacteria and cancer cells, so it is good that they be active.
- Rebounding has also been found to enhance digestion, relaxation, sleep patterns, nerve impulses and muscle fibre.
- Blood pressure can be significantly reduced by rebounding. This is achieved by boosting the muscle tone of the middle arterial muscles and the improvements to the circulatory system.
According to healingdaily.com, rebounding can also prevent ‘sagging breasts’ by strengthening and conditioning the connective tissue and muscles around the breast and by stimulating lymph flow in this area!
Dr Young states that rebounding also brings the following benefits:
- Reduces your body fat
- Firms your arms, legs, thighs, abdomen and hips
- Increases your agility
- Strengthens your muscles
- Provides an aerobic effect for your cardio systems
- Rejuvenates your body when tired
- Puts you in a state of mental and physical wellness
All in all it is just magnificent!
What is a Rebounder?
A rebounder is simply a mini-trampoline, about 3 foot in diameter and about 10 inches high. Pictures do a better job of words in this case, so quite simply, here is our rebounder:
At Energise, we believe we stock the most value for money rebounder in the world:
- It folds in half, making for easy storage
- It is sturdy in design, with six strong legs (other rebounders only have four and are unstable) that also fold away
- It has 32 replacable springs
- And it comes with a free support bar, carry case and is £20 cheaper than other comparable models

How to Use A Rebounder
Using a rebounder is easy and anyone can do it! You don’t have to have any fitness, flexibility, skill, stamina, coordination or strength to start. You can be any size, shape, weight or height. Mum, Dad, Grandma, Grandad, teenager, marathon runner, couch potato, origami expert… anyone!
You simply have to bounce up and down, jog, hop, twirl…whatever you feel like and whatever gives you the workout that you feel is getting you pumped and aerobic.
There are of course, advanced exercises to keep you moving and developing (click here for the best DVD on the subject, by Jason Vale) but it really is as easy as hopping on and moving.
I personally love to get some tunes on (currenly a lot of the new Royksopp album, and Roisin Murphy) and bounce for 15 minutes each morning. It is such a great way to kick the day off and it gets you up, energised and ready for whatever the day can throw at you!
So why not give it a try? Rebounding is:
- Easy
- Cheap to start
- Rebounders fold away and are easy to store
- You’ll lose weight, gain strength and energy
- Feel great!
What more could you ask for?!
Have a great week

In my experience a good rebounder is far less “stretchy” than a trampoline or less quality rebounders. Have fun guys!
Hey. Sounds good.
Would this apply to a big trampoline too?
Thanks 🙂
i am sure the answer is obvious. But please could you clarify the difference between a rebounder and a normal trampoline??
Hey Jonny – as far as I am aware, it is just the size and intended purpose of use that sets them apart!
Ross
That’s interesting. It sounds like it could be almost fun to do. I wouldn’t say that it is the easiest exercise in the world because jumping is actually pretty tiring. Would doing that on a real trampoline be a good exercise too?
