The Rebounders: A Division I Basketball Journey

Product Information

a round elevated rim which the legs support and which is attached to the mat by the elastic element, either springs or bungee bands Some exercise trampolines (like Maximus' Pro Folding Rebounder) come with a pair of resistance bands, which you can attach to the trampoline’s springs. These allow you to diversify your trampoline-based workouts. Made from steel, it’s strong and tough, with a weight limit of 220lb, which is reasonably low but easily high enough to work with. The 40-inch diameter gives you a stable base to work on, and the 6 legs are capped with non-slip rubber, so it won’t move when you’re using it. First off, compared to so many others, it’s incredibly well made. The Fit Bounce Pro 2 body and frame are made from strong, tough steel, which gives it its high weight limit of 330lb. The frame is 40 inches wide, and the mat is held in place with 60 super strong connectors, up to twice as many as a lot of competitors. Comfortable and fine with bare feet

Typically round, rebounders are much smaller (at about 3 to 4 feet in total diameter) than regular trampolines, and they are not designed for stunts. Other equipment for one or two feet, such as jumpers of Aerower and Kangoo Jumps or BOSU balls, can provide a type of rebound exercise experience, and regular, full-size, sports or athletic trampolines can also be used to perform the various movements, routines, programs, and styles that characterize rebound exercise. Rebounders are predominantly used solo in personal homes, but are also found in fitness studios, health clubs, and physical rehabilitation centers. The number of calories you can burn with rebounding exercise depends on factors like your weight and size. For example, if you weigh 180 pounds, you can burn 96 calories in about twelve minutes of rebounding. Be sure to do different types of moves on your trampoline so you don’t overuse the same muscles each time you work out.

Reservations aside, we found the Jandecfit very enjoyable to use. The 101cm frame and 76cm jumping zone makes it a little bigger than the two models above and whilst this is great when using it, it doesn’t have the folding option for storing it.

The Maximus Pro is the best fitness rebounder for travelling because it’s easy to fold and to transport in a carry bag. As such, you can use it at home, at work, or even take it on your trips and never miss a workout. When it comes to developing and toning the lower body muscles and providing yourself with a full aerobic workout, there is little better to do the job than a rebounder. The MaXimus PRO has something for everyone and although the marketing states it can be used by professionals it is perfectly suited for home use – perhaps more so than the Bounce PRO II. The quarter folding design means it can be stored away in the included carry bag very easily – you can also easily transport it somewhere else. It has resistance bands that can be attached to the base of the rebounder which allow you to add some resistance training in to your workout. This means you can really work your core and upper body as well as targeting the lower body when using it more like a trampoline. You also get two 1lb sand weights to use to add additional free weight to any exercise you do.These make all the difference, to me. It’s all too common to see complete beginners trying to set up a fitness programme, with best intentions, with all the right kit, only to flail because they don’t know what they’re doing. This kind of readily available expert instruction means that the Fit Bounce Pro II is accessible to all, right from the off.

The ideal trampoline for rebounding should have sturdy, stable legs. The circumference often falls somewhere between 36 and 48 inches.

Why is rebounding so well-suited to quarantine life? 

However, rebounding is unique as it uses both acceleration and deceleration to work on every cell in your body in a distinctive way. A 2018 study put a group of overweight Italian women on a 12-week rebounding programme that saw ‘significant improvements' in body composition – decreased waist circumferences, decreased fat mass, and increased lean and muscular mass. As the workout progresses, jogs from one side of the trampoline to the other. Moving from side to side can help activate different muscle groups. I also particularly like the handlebars that come with the HOMCOM. They are fully adjustable, suitable for a wide range of heights (which, as a bit of a shorter athlete, suits me perfectly!). There are three levels available through a T-bar handle, at least one of which will suit pretty much anybody.
