The Rebounders: A Division I Basketball Journey

Product Information

The HOMCOM Rebounder is also very lightweight. It folds down to a very compact size, meaning that it will fit easily enough into the boot of your car if you want to travel with it, or in a spare bit of cupboard space for at-home storage. Lastly, rebounding can be done anywhere, whether that’s your local gym, a park, your garden, or the comfort of your front room. That means that, no matter how horrible the weather or what’s going on outside, you can always get your exercise. Are there any safety issues with rebounding? Some exercise trampolines (like Maximus' Pro Folding Rebounder) come with a pair of resistance bands, which you can attach to the trampoline’s springs. These allow you to diversify your trampoline-based workouts. Even though it comes with a high price tag, we still recommend bellicon's Plus Trampoline based on how well it performed in our test. We felt completely confident while jumping on this rebounder. We love the sturdy handlebar for extra support, and that it has foldable legs for easy storage.

Consider a 38-inch rebounder if you’re travelling with it, if you have limited space, or if you have a smaller frame. A bigger, 50-inch rebounder is best if you’re tall or if you have the room for it.Just as rebounders have evolved from poorly made spring-based units to modern spring-based units and high-end bungee-based units, the types of exercise and movement done on rebounders has evolved as well. Be sure to do different types of moves on your trampoline so you don’t overuse the same muscles each time you work out. The MXL Maximus Life HIIT Bounce Pro is the best budget rebounder for intense workouts because it’s top-quality and because you get everything you need for your HIIT workouts. Most trampoline mats are made out of artificial fibers, like nylon or polyethylene,” says Aly Giampolo, founder and method director at the Ness, a danced-based, movement-focused fitness method in New York City. She adds that, although the materials themselves can vary, finding a surface that is heavily woven is key for a strong, supportive trampoline that's still soft enough to bounce comfortably on. If you are looking for a top quality rebounder that will stand the test of time, go easy on your joints but deliver anything from a moderate to tough workout then this is a top choice. It comes with a 3 year warranty on the mat so you really can’t go wrong with this option.

Having a strong metabolism helps you burn more calories throughout the day. 3. Lowers elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels.Our football rebound boards are popular with coaches and clubs for improving ball control and passing. The boards can be folded flat for easy transportation. Both types of rebounders can come with a number of optional features. The most important feature is to have an impact mat that can be placed over your springs or bungees. Some models will only wrap these attachments, which can be quite painful if you happen to land on a spring. Wrapping can also get twisted up into the bungees with the right impact.

Another reason to choose this rebounder is that it’s already used in gyms and by professional athletes. It has also been shown to work on the Loose Women Show and Breakfast Show. Therefore, you can trust in its professional quality and build.

What Size of Exercise Rebounder Do I Need?

Wittasek C, et al. (2018). The effect of several weeks of training with mini-trampolines on jump performance, trunk strength and endurance performance.

The NASA study used a "regulation trampoline bed (American Athletic Equipment)...2.74 x 4.56 m and made of nylon webbing supported by springs." The study used a competition-style trampoline, size in feet: 9'x15'. "Each phase of the sequence included a 2-min warm-up, followed by 5 min of jumping. The four heights, measured by the distance the subjects’ feet were elevated above the trampoline bed, were 18, 37, 75, and 100cm. A 5- to 10-min rest period was provided between each jumping level." The jump heights in inches were: 7", 14.6", 29.5" and 39.4". The NASA study did not involve a rebounder or mini-trampoline.

Another reason to choose the Bounce & Burn rebounder is that it’s easy to fold and it comes fully assembled . That’s because the rebounder has a smooth folding hinge design, plus foldable legs. As such, this mini rebounder is one of the most portable on the market. The muscle-shaped steel spring coils allow a low-impact bounce that will strengthen your core and balance. If you’re new to rebound training, use the stability handle at first, as well as the two workout DVDs. Exercise rebounders tend to be a little larger than mini trampolines. You’ll find a range of 38-50 inch diameters in this category, though the jump mat is often smaller since the size uses a frame-to-frame measurement. For most models, take 12 inches off the frame-to-frame measurement and you’ll have a sense of the jump mat space available to you. The strong polypropylene weave is sturdy and firm, but also gentle on your knees. This material and the fusiform springs allow you to feel the bounce regardless of your type of workout. In summary, it was proven that 20 mins of doing a rebounder workout (the one included in the JumpSport rebounder box) burned the same number of calories as 30 min of jogging. Also, participants felt the exercise was 10% less strenuous than expected.
