Every home should have a rebounder. If you are unfamiliar with this exercise equipment, perhaps a kangaroo or the character, Tigger, from A. A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh may come to mind. However, rebounders have become an integral part of many fitness routines. The mini trampolines vary in quality according to the materials used in construction. The number of supporting legs, quantity and strength of springs that hold the mat, composition of the frame itself, and presence or absence of spring cover are all to be considered when evaluating exercise rebounders.
If you have implemented any exercise regimen, variety is likely a critical aspect to keep the program moving forward. With access to a mini trampoline, it is easy to set up in front of a television, or while listening to music on the radio or your own portable listening device. An average mini tramp measures three (3) feet in diameter and nine (9) inches high. If the treadmill has become wearisome, if the weather is inclement and outdoor sports are not in the picture, or if jump roping has gotten the best of you, a short rebounding session can re-energize your day and lift your spirits. The body’s main lymph vessels travel up the extremities and upper body. Jumping up and down increases the flow of nutrients and wastes through this system that is vital to health, eliminating toxins from the body. All of the internal organs are fired up by rebounding, and the immune system is strengthened as the healthy cells are energized. Your joints are spared the harsh impact resulting from jogging on hard surfaces.
Needak rebounders are manufactured in the United States with quality control from start to finish. The company offers reliable sales support to dealers and affiliates, and produces books, hand weights, videos as accessories to their rebounder trampoline, and a stabilizing bar. Characteristic of Nebraska natives, the company describes their warranty to be “No buildup. No unclear phrasing. No ‘fine print.’ Just plain, straight-forward.” There are times when customer service is the determining factor when making a purchase. They back it up with a quality product that includes, from their product description, “36 springs that connected to the framework through a usable clevis pin and are reliably finished with high-grade music wire.” They offer two different springs to deliver a soft or hard bounce and the rebounder trampoline is available in a half-fold model, with a carrying case.
Urban rebounders are promoted by a martial artist and personal trainer. This brand’s target audience is those seeking a sculpted body, with a level of aerobic, cardio performance found in gyms frequented by young professionals. Accessories offered include sand weights, resistance bands, and workout DVDs, including collections just for children. The cost is approximately one-quarter of the Needak and it is available in a quarter-fold without a carrying case.
A rebounder in the home can provide diversion for a visiting grandchild as well as provide an intense workout for the aspiring body builder in your family.
