While everyone is aware that trampoline exercise is not just fun but good for your health, many people are unaware of just how beneficial this unique form of exercise is. An Exercise trampoline does not just stimulate your circulatory system pumping more oxygen to your organs and lowering your blood pressure but has benefits for your lymphatic system. Your lymphatic system is responsible for removing toxins and cancerous cells from your body.
Trampoline exercise is also beneficial for detoxifying your body, alleviating the effects of arthritis and varicose veins and is the most effective exercise for weight loss. In fact a study from NASA found that a 150 pound person spending approximately one hour on a rebounder will burn more calories than the same person running for an hour. According to NASAs Journal of Applied Physiology it is 68% more efficient than jogging.
Cardiovascular exercise combined with strengthening of the muscles contributes to weight loss and toning of the body. When bouncing the body experiences two to three times the force of gravity at the lowest point of the bounce. This force helps to strengthen muscles which in turn help to increase the metabolism and burn fat and calories.
To maintain an affective exercise routine you should jump on the trampoline for approximately 20 minutes three to four times a week. This should result in significant weight loss in just a few weeks.
