Ten Health Benefits Of Jumping On the Trampoline

1. Jumping helps to increase bone density and help prevent osteoporosis

Regular rebounding helps to increase bone density and maintain bone mass for older adults. It is effective in helping prevent osteoporosis. Bones have the ability of becoming stronger under stress and weaker when there is no stress.  Unlike most exercises, rebounding strengthens the bones and muscles without the risks of injuries to weight bearing joints such as the knees, ankles, hips and back.

​

2. Jumping strengthens every cell in the body

Rebounding effectively causes all 37 trillion cells in the body to move up and down. The stress of gravity and G-force on each individual cell causes it to adjust to the increased load by becoming stronger.  When each cell is functioning optimally and harmoniously, constitutional strength and robust health is the inevitable result.

​

3. Jumping helps the body to detoxify by enhancing lymphatic circulation

Jumping on the trampoline cleanses your lymphatic system which helps remove toxins from the body. Our lymphatic system plays an important role in detoxification and depends on body movements to circulate.  Because the lymphatic fluid flows in an upward direction, the vertical movements of jumping on the trampoline are more effective in pumping lymph fluid, than horizontal motion exercises such as walking and running.  Thus, regular rebounding facilitates body detoxification to maintain a highly functioning and youthful body.

​

4. Jumping enhances immunity to ward off infections and prevent diseases

It has been shown that increased G-force helped increase human lymphocyte activity. Lymphocytes are specialized white blood cells that defend the body against illnesses and diseases by destroying invading viruses and bacteria as well as cancerous cells.  10 minutes of rebounding triples the number of white blood cells which remain elevated for up to an hour after that

5. Jumping improves digestion and gut health

Jumping on a trampoline helps with digestion because the rhythmic up-down motion stimulates the contraction and relaxation of muscles that make up the digestive tract. 

​

6. Jumping improves posture, balance and coordination

Jumping on the trampoline helps improve balance, coordination and posture by stimulating your ocular nerves and inner ear canal.  Regular rebounding conditions the body to react quickly, which is a valuable skill.  Over time, rebounding also improve spinal alignment which helps to relieve joint, back and neck pain.

​

7. Jumping strengthens eye muscles for better eyesight

Jumping on the trampoline also helps strengthen your ocular nerves and eye muscles due to the effects of increased G-force on every part of the body.  Rebounding helps to stimulate the cells of the eye lenses to restore their original shape and function.

​

8. Jumping increases lung capacity and oxygen intake

One of NASA’s landmark research studies shows that jumping on the trampoline increases cellular oxygenation.  Oxygen is the most vital nutrient for the human body.  Jumping helps circulate oxygen throughout the body to increase energy.  Regular jumping on the trampoline energies your body and increases its resistance against colds, flus and other diseases.

​

9. Jumping aids in weight loss

Jumping on the trampoline has been proven to increase your metabolic rate, and help to keep your weight down.  Your metabolic rate remains elevated for up to 24 hours after you get off your trampoline. Rebounding is an extremely efficient calorie burner.  Because of its many health benefits, it is a good exercise to incorporate into your weight loss plan.  Improved lymphatic circulation which aids elimination of waste and toxins, also helps you to attain your weight loss goals quickly.

​

10. Jumping improves mental capacity and promotes mental health

Frequent rebounding improves blood circulation.  This allows an abundance of fresh oxygen to the brain, promoting mental sharpness and focus.  Jumping on the trampoline also imparts a sense of well being.  It triggers the release of endorphins, the “feel good” hormones to lift your moods and to promote optimism and self confidence.

​

Jumping is for everyone!

Jumping on the trampoline is so simple, anyone can do it. Gentle bouncing without leaving the trampoline mat provides all the health benefits of rebounding and is suitable for the young and the convalescing.
