Everybody go U-Bounce, U-Bounce.....

You are wrong! Mini trampolines aka rebounders are not made for kids. They are made for all grown ups who are looking for a fun, effective and healthy full body workout. So don’t wait, and let’s u-Bounce together. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQn40k4kdus

The reality: U-Bounce is the brain child of Melbourne fitness entrepreneur Gaby Robinson who created a fun and easy-to-follow workout using mini-trampolines. 'Rebounding creates an increased G-force resistance (gravitational load) and positively stresses every cell in your body. As a result, it strengthens your entire musculoskeletal system: your bones, muscles, connective tissue, and even organs. And it promotes lymphatic circulation by stimulating the millions of one-way valves in your lymphatic system.’ Gaby told me. I’m jumping for that!

In addition, rebounding is very low impact and allows you to do jumping and aerobic exercises for much longer intervals than you could on solid ground without tiring out or creating harmful oxidative and adrenal stress. Fact - bouncing on trampolines is good for you.

The pay-off: Some serious sweat and laughs were had at my first ever U-Bounce class last week at Brighton Recreational Center. We kicked off with a solid warm up and stretch, followed by a variety of jogs and different bounces on the rebounder. We even used weights and small medicine balls to tone up, finishing off with lots of stretches. I was seriously pumped out afterwards.

The fun factor: This wasnt your average class – the room was loaded with flavour and funky beats, shaking hips and working on those arms and core with some hand weights. But best of all was the constant smiles around the room. We were all inspired by Gaby’s passion and the fun kept us jumping and smiling until after we’d packed up and were ready to head back home.
