You work over 600 muscles, including big muscles groups like the core, lower body, legs and hips, which are crucial for balance. It affects every cell in our body, increasing cell energy and oxygen levels throughout the whole body.

Bouncing up and down on a mini trampoline can have some transformational results. Not only is it an amazing workout, it’s also a great way to flush out toxins that are stored within the body. Rebounding is one of the best forms of exercise that has an effect on the lymphatic system (read more here: rebounding to cleanse the lymphatic system).

This study compared the results for an individual weighing 150 pounds spending one hour on the rebounder versus jogging, and found that they used more calories when rebounding than the same person jogging. NASA now use rebounding exercises to recondition astronauts to prevent muscle and bone degeneration after their space walks.
