Rebound exercise
Rebound exercise, also known as rebounding, is a form of low-impact exercise performed on a mini-trampoline called a rebounder. This type of exercise involves bouncing up and down on the rebounder, utilizing gravity and the resistance of the trampoline to provide a full-body workout. Rebound exercise has gained popularity due to its numerous health benefits and fun, engaging nature.
Health Benefits[edit | edit source]
Rebound exercise offers a variety of health benefits, making it a popular choice for individuals looking to improve their fitness levels. Some of the key benefits include:

- Lymphatic system support: Bouncing on a rebounder can stimulate the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in immune function and detoxification.
