How to Rebound With a Trampoline

by Julie Williams, Demand Media

Rebounding is a highly effective way of exercising on a trampoline. In fact, 10 minutes of jumping on a trampoline can equal 30 minutes of exercise on a treadmill. It also creates much less impact on your joints than regular exercise. Additionally, it stimulates the lymphatic drainage system. Save money on expensive rebounding gym classes by doing your own rebounding at home. Aim to do the rebounding workout at least three times per week to see real results.

Step 1

Warm up by jumping at a moderate pace for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Do high knees. Lift your right knee as high as you can. As you lower your right knee, lift your left knee as high as you can. Continue for two minutes.

Step 3

Perform jumping jacks on the trampoline for two minutes.

Step 4

Complete leg crosses. Cross your legs so that your right leg is in front of your left leg. Jump and bring your left leg in front of your right leg. Continue for two minutes.

Step 5

Do plié squats. Stand with your legs slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Bend your knees and lower yourself down as far as you can. Stand back up. Continue for two minutes.

Step 6

Do the powerhouse. Stand on the floor next to the trampoline. Sit on the trampoline and quickly stand up, reaching across your body with your right arm. Sit back down. Bounce up quickly and reach across your body with your left arm. Continue for two minutes.

Step 7

Cool down by jumping on the trampoline or walking at a moderate pace for 10 minutes.
