Benefits of Rebounding: According to the Research!

Research on rebounding, for people of all ages and all fitness levels! The health benefits of rebounding on a mini-trampoline or rebounder are vast! Here are research study results for rebounding, including the infamous NASA study from 1980 where they compare rebounding to running on a treadmill. Study links are down below.
PS: Here is my follow-up video: • Rebounding for Better ...
In this video I share my thoughts and experiences of my first two weeks rebounding on a mini-trampoline. I also compare my Acon rebounder to some other very popular products like the Leaps and Rebounds and the Bellicon.
MY REBOUNDER⤵
The product I got is the 44 inch rebounder by the brand Acon. I bought it with my own money and after using the product for months now, I decided to become an affiliate. us.acon24.com/... (Use coupon code: HOLLYLIFEDIY for $15 off).
ANOTHER REBOUNDER THAT'S 1/3 THE PRICE⤵
Since creating this video, I have discovered another rebounder and it's by the brand
BCan 40/44 inch rebounder amzn.to/3CgZ5a6 ($109 - price varies) and I am not sure how I missed this when I was doing research. I did a short video on it (comparing it to the Acon) here: • BCan Trampoline vs. th... and will be doing an update video soon. It's a great rebounder and I really like it!
This one stands out because it's foldable, it uses bungees, it weights 22 lbs, (the Acon is 30 lbs, the Leeps & Rebounds is 14 lbs). They sell variations and some have a large support bar if needed (but it's more expensive).
It has a weight limit that is really high at 550 lbs.
Some of the Amazon reviews said it was difficult to put together. For me it was not too difficult as it included a tool to help you attach the bungees - and it made it so much easier.

Thank you all for watching! Please check out my other video where I share my personal experience with rebounding: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmbGfqWZn5emg9E. If you're contemplating getting one, I have some personal thoughts, lots of details and some recommendations here: lifeanddiy.com/mini-trampoline-rebounding-vr-experience/. If you're looking for an affordable option, I really like the Bcan: amzn.to/3CgZ5a6 (it's about $100).

A lot of people with mold illness do it for detox. I think it helps the lymphatic system.

[@johndoe4073]

Yup. To my understanding, unlike the heart for the blood and the lungs for oxygen, the lymphatic system does not have a pump to circulate the lymph fluids. Rebounding helps move lymph fluid around the body. According to this benefit, it helps boost energy levels and improve immune system function. More on lymph itself from Wikipedia: Lymph (from Latin lympha 'water')[1] is the fluid that flows through the lymphatic system, a system composed of lymph vessels (channels) and intervening lymph nodes whose function, like the venous system, is to return fluid from the tissues to be recirculated. At the origin of the fluid-return process, interstitial fluid-the fluid between the cells in all body tissues[2]-enters the lymph capillaries. This lymphatic fluid is then transported via progressively larger lymphatic vessels through lymph nodes, where substances are removed by tissue lymphocytes and circulating lymphocytes are added to the fluid, before emptying ultimately into the right or the left subclavian vein, where it mixes with central venous blood.

I got very ill and moved out of a home with black mould and now discovered my upstairs neighbours have it in their bathroom. I just moved in September. My walls and all recently touched up by the landlord. I've felt my health decline since I moved in. I got a boogie bounce type before Christmas and hoping it will keep me protected to a degree until I can move out. Have you seen any videos or reseach specific to mold illness and rebounding? Thank you so much.

[@billnott5811]

Awesome info Holly.. I finally have my rebounder assembled, but I haven’t stepped on it yet.. I should have my custom handrail built in the next day or two. I don’t dare step up on it without something to grab onto at first lol.. I remember reading a book many many years ago called “ Fit For Life “ , and they had a chapter on the incredible benefits of rebounding.. i’ve been wanting to do rebounding on a regular basis for a very long time, and now I’m finally going to start… 😁😊

[@LifeDIY]

I'm so excited for you to setup your rebounder, Bill! I am looking forward to your future video on it. It's great you're having a custom handrail put on there. When I was researching, I saw one that had two handrails, which seems really helpful. Oh, just be careful with Daisy because if she's like my cats, she'll want to scratch it. I'm worried mine will ruin it, so I just cover it with a blanket when I am not using it. They think it's their new piece of furniture. 🙂🙏

[@billnott5811]

@@LifeDIY lol , yup, daisy testing out his claws on the material was my first worry ( daisy is a boy, for the first six months after he was born, we thought he was a girl, then six months later we find out he’s a boy, but by then he already knew and answered to his name, so I didn’t have the heart to change it ) but because my space is limited in my room I have it hanging from my ceiling.. you’ll see it in my next video. 😁

[@LifeDIY]

Haha I actually knew that Daisy was a boy, yet I still said she! 😊 I have a female cat named Tommy. It's all very confusing for people! That's great you'll have the rebounder hanging up. You know how to make it work in your space. If it were my cats, I think they'd want to jump on it hanging there. :)) Hopefully it's not hard to take it down. Good luck on the next video!

[@joycejean-baptiste4355]

Thank you so much for the informative video. I've had a rebounder stored in my garage for many years, just collecting dust. I bought it more than 10 years ago. Man, I wish I was using it all along. Better late than never, right? 😊I just started again this morning. I was in my 50's when I bought it. Now I'm in my 60's. I felt very energetic afterwards, I didn't expect that. Thanks again.

[@claxtontree]

I'm 68 & received & assembled my rebounder yesterday. I don't enjoy walking much like I used to. Mainly b/c most retired/homebound ppl. I know (my age) we just tend to stroll a bit to walk our dogs, then come home & sit in front of the tv. My dog is 18 yrs old now so it's more of a slow stroll for us. She's more comfortable staying home & napping. So this seems to be the perfect solution for me to get a bit of exercise anytime of day or evening I want to. I'm starting out lightly bouncing in place. It's probably too early to share how much I love it, but I can truly say that so far I'm happy I bought mine.

[@LifeDIY]

Great info Holly I see you did your research. You look like you're having fun there jumping 😊 I had one of those when I lived in CT and it was fun jumping and exersizing on it but I got rid of it because I had limited space when moving to Fl and wish I didn't after but I couldn't take it all. 😕 But after a fall and breaking my wrist and hurting ny knees plus having wrist surgery I kinda wonder if I can jump on a trampoline without hurting myself again it's true you do loose muscle mass and after surgery It took a few months to be able to grip a drum stick when I play and be able to regain my hand strength and get back to doing normal things again. I did buy one of those vibrating exersize plates and woa these plates can really do a workout on your legs and body maybe you can try one mines has bluetooth speakers built in so you can rock your body with music without getting bored. 😀Anyway I enjoyed watching this keep the videos coming Holly and have a Happy Valentines Day ❤ xoxo Andy.

Thanks, Andy! I hope your wrist heals fully. Knee pain can be terrible too. I've heard great things about those vibration plates. Also Happy Vday to you too!

Hi Holly! Great to hear that you're feeling the benefits already. Looks like the rebounder offers you the opportunity to do a variety of exercises. Have you settled on a personal routine yet, or are you still customising that.?

“P90x3”…I’m impressed. I’d find that a lot…I have to motivate myself to do 5 to 9mins HIT on my exercise bike☺️ Ultimately it’s so worth it for our mental and physical health…Look forward to hearing how it pans out for you.

[@BK-gh9us]

The lymphatic benefits... is rebounding just another way (among many ofter physical activity) to stimulate this system? Or is this benefit unique to rebounding/jumping exercises?

[@LifeDIY]

I think this is a unique benefit of rebounding, though I am sure you can get lymphatic benefits from other fitness regimens. I think you may get more of these benefits from the jumping on the rebounder. Another good option for lymphatic benefits is using a vibration plate.

[@9catlover]

i just bought a bellicon. never rebounded before. I feel very unmotivated and lethargic...they say u cannot bounce with a smile on your face and i think the cardio aspect will mean i get more oxygen into my lungs. i wanna try and do this in the garden. i really need an energy boost. i plan to use weights so got extra strong bungy cordsyour videos are so calm so it's really easy to listen to you

[@HuntleySquare]

I rebound everyday for about an hour, broken down into 3 or 4 snack sessions of 12 to 20 minutes per day. Is this too much?

[@angelagrant2943]

Never to much ❤

[@HuntleySquare]

SMH,... let's be clear the study was microscopic (8 participants) and included "eight young males (19-26 yr) who walked and ran on a treadmill operated at four speeds and jumped on a trampoline at four heights. " The key finding was that "The external work output at equivalent levels of oxygen uptake were significantly greater while trampolining than running. The greatest difference was about 68%." And that was for 8 young males. How does that apply to bone density for post-menopausal women? Here is a detailed review of this 1980 study: 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 sequence phase included a 2-min warm-up, followed by 5 minutes of jumping. The four heights, measured by the distance the subjects’ feet were elevated above the trampoline bed, were 18, 37, 75, and 100 cm. 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. A small number of other independent scientific studies have been done on rebounding, most from 1980 through 1983 at the peak of the rebounding fad.[14] There is no evidence that NASA ever stated 'Rebound exercise is "The most efficient, effective form of exercise yet devised by man."' Finally, NASA does not use rebounders. They use this resistive device for their astronauts. www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2012/aug/HQ_12-291_ISS_Bone_Density.html

But, you really can't go wrong with the Acon or Jumpsport.

And you're all grown up now, so maybe you bounce to Debussy. Hey, don't blame me for the dodgy music choices, Holly, you turned the sound down. I had to fill in the audio-blanks from imagination. 🙂

@@LifeDIY All the tracks you danced to when you were 18. Then it becomes an emotional/ psychological lift as well as a physical one. Although your son may decide that you are seriously uncool.
