After warming
up with the health bounceyou will be ready for aerobic
exercise which consists of walking, jogging, running in place, or
sprinting in the middle of the rebounder, or mini-trampoline. You can either watch a
rebound exercise video and follow the moves, or exercise at your own
pace. Rebounding is an extremely efficient exercise and you will
find that you get more exercise in less time, you will enjoy it more
and you will not suffer trauma to your joints. You will gain energy
and satisfaction in a very short time.
Adding soft hand weights will add
resistance and accelerate your progress Resistance speeds
conditioning.
Rebound Walking:
In the center of
your rebounder begin a walking in place movement, moving your arms
back and forth. If you experience balance difficulties a stabilizing bar
will allow you to exercise in complete safety.
Rebound Jogging: Begin as you would for rebound walking, but get your knees higher than they would be in a normal walking position. This exercise will not jar your joints or cause damage to cartilage as jogging on a hard surface can do.
Rebound Twist: This is an excellent exercise for the sides of your waist, hips, thighs, forearms and entire cardiovascular system. Center yourself in the center of the mat, raise up on your toes and twist right to left, using your arms to balance yourself.
The Slalom:
This is an outstanding
exercise for thighs, hips and entire cardiovascular system. Slightly
bend your knees with feet together and bounce from one side of the rebounder to the other. Picture in your mind a down-hill skier and
emulate the side to side movements.
