5 reasons trampolines are healthier than jogging 

Rebounders realize when they are on a trampoline they uncovered these get-healthier reasons:

1. Your knees won’t risk injury on a trampoline because you’re landing on a soft surface
2. Your lymphatic system benefits from rebounding
3. You burn more calories in a shorter time
4. Jumping helps with balance and coordination and that is useful as we age. When jumping on a trampoline you’re landing on an unsteady surface and those causes more of your core muscles to engage to help keep your balance and keep you upright. Astronauts use trampolines when they return from space and the zero gravity environment to ease their muscles back into gravity.
5. Baby boomers and seniors or anyone who has not been active can benefit from a rebounding workout without risk of injury. It’s a great way to ease back into activity and get in shape.
