Using interval training on mini trampolines (rebounders) is an excellent way to increase your metabolism and burn fat quickly. Rebounding is suitable for most people with fitness levels from beginners to advanced.
Interval training on mini trampolines is simply an exercise routine that alternates between low and high intensities of exercise. It has been shown to burn more fat and calories than regular cardio workouts do.
Beginners should start with a slow gentle bounce for their low intensity routine and a higher faster bounce for their high intensity routine - alternating between the gentle bounce and the faster bounce. When you become stronger, you can incorporate jogging, marching, jumping jacks or other exercise movements into your exercise segments.
The length of the exercise intervals can vary and be changed depending on your fitness level. Most people use a three to one ratio for their interval training. This means that you do three minutes of low intensity exercise followed by one minute of high intensity exercise - this pattern is repeated throughout the entire workout
If you want to increase the ratio, you can change it to a three to two ratio - performing three minutes of low intensity exercise and then two minutes of high intensity exercise.
Using an interval timer will make your interval training sessions much easier. An interval timer is a small device that you can program in your interval times and it will beep or vibrate to let you know when you are supposed to change intensities. It is about the size of a pager and it clips on your clothing.
You will find that using interval training on mini trampolines will work many different muscle groups and will help you achieve faster fat burning than just normal exercise does.
You should always warm up and stretch before you begin exercising in order to avoid injury. Cooling down after your workout is just as important as the warm up.
If you are new to rebounding on a mini trampoline, you may want to just start out with small workouts of five to ten minutes. You will be using muscles that you don't normally use and you will be sore. Slowly increase your exercise time and build up to a thirty minute interval training routine.
You will be pleasantly surprised at the results you will see after interval training on mini trampolines. It is one of the most fun and effective exercises that you can do.
