It could not be more evident that one of the main reasons most people do not exercise or quit an exercise program is for lack of variety. You must keep in mind that when a fitness routine is new, it’s easy to do. But once you are accustomed to it and the newness wears off is becomes very easy to quit. In essence you become bored. For example, if you are using the treadmill there is very little you can do other than walk or run. Doing this day in and day out can lead to boredom.
However, with the mini-trampoline or rebounder you can be armed with a whole variety of exercises. And these exercises can range from the simple bounding to performing tricep dips on the edge of the mini-trampoline to the high intensity exercise of a high knee pump. There is no limit to the different exercises you can do on this piece of equipment.
The mini-trampoline can be thought of a jack of all trades when it comes to fitness intensity. In other words, the rebounder can be seen being used by a physical therapist when working with an elderly client, but at the same time this piece of fitness equipment is also used by world class athletes for extreme cardio training. That is one of the major bonuses of the mini-trampoline. No matter what kind of physical shape you are in, from simple walking or slow bounding to the more intense exercises, anyone can use it.
I knew one martial artist whose whole cardio fitness regimen centered around the mini-trampoline. Driving by his house you could often see him on his deck performing high knees, sprints or simple slow jogging on the rebounder.
This type of variety is certainly why the mini-trampoline has become a staple with many physical therapists. Gradually moving their patients along with slightly increasing intensity is very important and the rebounder fits the bill. With elderly clients the mini-trampoline with handrails on it is very good indeed.
It will certainly be nice to look forward to your fitness training on the mini-trampoline. Changing up the routine will keep you coming back for more fitness time and time again. Don’t let the same old same old creep into your fitness routine. Keep you exercise program alive day after day with the variety of the mini-trampoline. Your body will thank you for it.
