REBOUNDING FAQs:
What is the weight limit of the rebounder?
Our studio utilizes JUMPSPORT 550F Pro model rebounders. The weight limit is 325 pounds.
If I have back/knee/ankle concerns can I rebound?
We recommend consulting and receiving clearance from your doctor before beginning rebounding. Rebounding, however, can be a wonderful rehabilitation exercise because it offers strength and stability benefits without the impact on your joints.
Scoliosis, spinal surgeries or fusions, cervical spine issues, and/or vertigo concerns: please consult with your physician before beginning a rebounding workout.
Can I rebound when I'm pregnant?
Rebounding is an optimal exercise method for pregnant women to stay in shape without incurring musculoskeletal trauma, and they’ll also enjoy the pelvic floor and ab strengthening benefits. However, pregnant women always need to clear all exercise with their health care provider and we do not recommend starting in the middle of pregnancy.
What about my leaky bladder?
Rebounding is one of the most effective ways to rebuild pelvic floor strength. If you suffer from a leaky bladder, start with very gentle rebounding and build up to bigger bounces over time. You may totally alleviate symptoms over time.
Pelvic organ prolapse: please consult with your physician before beginning a rebounding workout.
What footwear do I need?
GRIP SOCKS (we sell them at the studio if you need them)
Bouncing barefoot is a great way to strengthen the feet and ankles. It also helps you feel the mat and edge band to keep your feet in the right place and off the bungees. Your feet play a huge part in balance, the sensors in your feet send information to the balance center in your brain.
We use grip socks to prevent slipping, and for hygienic reasons in our studio, for barre and rebounding.
How is this different from a backyard trampoline or mini trampoline with metal springs?
These trampolines have a totally different bounce than that of a rebounder. On a large trampoline you sink down lower into the mat and bounce up much, much higher into the air. Typically you are using the trampoline and your own body weight to jump higher and higher. On a rebounder we utilize a “down bounce” into the surface and use our core strength to keep from bouncing up. In fact, your feet never even have to leave the mat.
This completely changes the effect of the bounce on the body.
