Bouncing or jogging on a mini-trampoline, also called rebounding, is a popular way to burn calories, tone muscles and lose weight. Keep yourself healthy and safe by using the rebounder appropriately and in moderation.
Calories Burned
Depending on your weight and the type of exercise you are doing on your mini trampoline, you may burn between 300 and 450 or more calories per hour. I-Rebounder reports that a 170-lb. male will burn approximately 450 calories per hour rebounding, but only 300 calories per hour jogging.
Other Benefits
Bouncing on a mini-trampoline, like any aerobic exercise, gets your heart pumping and may reduce the risk of heart disease. If you find it fun, you may be more likely to stick with your exercise program. More benefits of regular exercise include lower stress levels, improved cholesterol and high blood pressure readings and improved sleep.
Safety Considerations
To avoid injury, be sure that you read the assembly instructions carefully and put your mini trampoline together correctly. Make sure that you can not hit your head on anything hanging from the ceiling as you bounce, and keep your rebounder on the floor, never on an elevated surface.
