Rebounding

• Bouncing up and down on the mini tramp is called rebounding. According to the iRebounder website, rebounding combines the forces of acceleration, deceleration and gravity to affect or "challenge" every cell in your body. The exercise is unique, according to Energise for Life, because weightlessness is reached at the top of each jump, and each landing achieves twice the force of gravity.
  
  

Positive Effects

• Mini tramps offer an aerobic exercise. The benefits, according to Fitmoves.com, include giving you a full-body workout, aiding lymphatic circulation, speeding up metabolism and improving circulation and muscle tone.
  
  

Your Joints

• Rebounding is low-impact because of the giving nature of the mat. It does not wear on your body joints. Running or jogging is done on hard surfaces, putting stress on your ankles and knees and eventually damaging them. According to Health101.org, "rebounding affects every joint and cell in the body equally, and gently."
  
  

Safety

• Injuries are common on mini tramps, especially among children. Safety tips include wearing shoes, installing safety pads on the frame and knowing your limitations.
  
  

Exercises

• You don't need to do anything fancy to benefit from rebounding. Basic bouncing or stepping is all it takes. Once comfortable with that, you can increase your workout by bouncing higher or trying supporting exercise videos.
