What are the benefits of rebounding? Is a Bellicon rebounder the best? I have been exercising with rebounders for decades, and I thought it’s time for a full post to discuss rebounding benefits.
Today we jump into what you need to know about rebounding and the Bellicon advantage. 🔔 Note: If purchasing a Bellicon, use code EASTER-VUS-10 for an extra discount that isn’t on their site.
Rebounding & Bellicon
In the ever-evolving world of fitness, finding an exercise routine that is effective, enjoyable, and sustainable can be overwhelming. We juggle busy schedules and sometimes face physical limitations like joint pain (more on that below).
Enter rebounding – a low-impact, high-benefit workout that’s gaining more popularity – largely because of its indisputable benefits.
And when it comes to rebounders, one name consistently rises to the top: Bellicon.
But what makes Bellicon so special? Why choose this premium rebounder over other options?
First, let’s discuss the benefits of rebounding and then cover the unique advantages of Bellicon.
Benefits of Rebounding
Rebounding offers many benefits, especially when using a high-quality rebounder. Some of these benefits include:
- improve cardiovascular health and build endurance
- enhance lymphatic flow and boost immune system functionality
- improvements in balance, proprioception, and coordination
- strengthen the pelvic floor and support better posture
- protect your joints with gentle, low-impact movement. strengthen every muscle in the body effectively
- reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve focus and sleep
- plus: BONE HEALTH
While all of these benefits are important and impressive, I want to dig deeper into the topic of bone health.
Bone Health Considerations
Women in perimenopause or menopause know that bone density is critically important. Menopause significantly impacts bone density and increases the risk of osteoporosis, while simultaneously contributing to sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength.
The Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation reports that up to 50% of women and 25% of men aged 50+ will break a bone due to osteoporosis. That is a serious statistic.
But we can do something about osteoporosis (and sarcopenia). There are a couple of things we can do:
Bone Health Action #1: JUMP
Jumping has been shown to strengthen bone density, and that improvements were made with only three to five minutes of bone-stimulating jump exercises per day. This is great news. And, other studies have shown similar gains with rebounding for perimenopause and menopause.
We can reduce the impact of our bouncing (hello, achy joints) using a Bellicon rebounder. As we age, we are more likely to fall due to poor balance and proprioceptive challenges. This study showed that rebounding was highly effective in improving balance, functional mobility, strength, gait performance – and also reducing fear of falling!
Bone Health Action #2: ADDRESS our FASCIA
Everything in our bodies operates through and within our fascial network. We begin as fascia. Every system in our bodies communicates and thrives in our fascia. Yet we do nothing to care for it.
Fascia is a beautiful 3D collagen-rich matrix (image above) that, when healthy, is pliable and allows for free movement in our bodies and smooth flow of information. When it is unhealthy, however, it creates stagnation (ie less information exchange, less nutrient distribution) and it interferes with our muscle performance – which affects our ability to develop bone density gains.
We can directly interface with our fascia through the proven technique called Fascia FLO. With Fascia FLO you will gain strength and muscle performance. Fascia FLO also enables us to remove pain and stiffness in the body, and may be the missing link to fibromyalgia. while removing nagging pains (say ‘bye’ to achy joints), and enjoying other benefits. NOTE: Fascia FLO is currently full. To join the waitlist for the next webinar, sign up here.
Why Bellicon is the Best Rebounder
Now that we’ve covered bone health and menopause, let’s cover why the Bellicon is the best rebounder on the market.
Bellicon vs Other Rebounders
The patented bungees are heart of the Bellicon experience, however Bellicon offers other advantages. Let’s look at them all:
The Bungee Difference: Smooth, Silent, and Superior: Bellicon bungees offer a smooth bounce, with no noise making your rebounder super quiet – even if you live in an apartment. The superior bungees significantly reducing impact on your joints (see my video for comparison).
Quality & Durability: Built to Last: Bellicon rebounders are renowned for their German engineering and exceptional quality. They use high-grade materials for frames, bungees, and mats. Bellicon offers an outstanding warranty, find warranty details under “helpdesk” on their site.
Yes, this is a rebounder built to last. I’ve had mine for about 15 years, and have only changed the mat once. You may want to change your bungees every 5-7 years, depending on how often you use it. But the frame will last for decades, maybe longer.
Customize Color, Size, & More: Beyond bungee strength, you can choose frame size, screw-in or folding legs, optional t-bar, and choose a range of mat and bungee colors. You can also choose to purchase your Bellicon pre-assembled (fee applies).
Amplifying Health Benefits: The quality of your Bellicon bouncing will enhance associated benefits, including being easy on the joints, improving lymphatic drainage, stimulating bone density, engaging stability muscles and balance, and helping to reduce stress.
Bellion+ Platform: When you purchase a Bellicon you will receive 45 days FREE to their online video platform, called Bellicon+.
FREE interntional shipping: Bellicon ships free internationally, which is quite impressive given the size and weight of your Bellicon rebounder.
Fun Factor: Because Bellicon is so enjoyable to bounce on, you will want to use it. Unlike that exercise bike or treadmill collecting laundry… your Bellicon will get use.
Bellicon: Workouts and Youtube Channels
While we mostly talk about using a rebounder for cardio workouts, it can be used for much more. Here are some of the ways you can exercise with a rebounder:
Cardio: Both high and lower intensity workouts, and some of these can be done sitting on your rebounder. 👇
Strength-Training: You can find videos on YouTube and also on the Bellicon+ platform for strength training using the Bellicon – both with body resistance and hand-held weights.
Core Workout: You can find plenty of core workout videos on the Bellicon+ platform, and also on YouTube.
Balance & Proprioception: One of my very favorite Bellicon trainers, Fayth Caruso, does fabulous work with balance and proprioception on the Bellicon. Fayth is my OG Bellicon girl! I found Fayth’s videos back in the day, 15 years ago when I first started with my Bellicon. I adore her, and she is an expert instructor. You will find her videos on the Bellicon+ platform (free for 45 days when you purchase). She also has some videos on YouTube. I have done this HIIT video at least a hundred times, no kidding! And here’s another for balance.
Pilates & Yoga – and Fascia FLO!: I have recorded Fascia FLO classes using my Bellicon, so much fun! I’ll share this exclusive video from my membership with you, it’s not a public video on YouTube. 👇
Is a Bellicon Worth It?
When shopping for a rebounder, you might ask: “Is a Bellicon worth it”. If you’re looking for the cheapest mini-trampoline, Bellicon isn’t it. But if you’re seeking the best rebounding experience – one that prioritizes joint health, effectiveness, quiet operation, durability, and overall enjoyment – then the Bellicon difference becomes clear. It’s an investment in a premium fitness tool designed to support your health journey for the long haul. It’s also the most forgiving rebounder for our joints in menopause.
Ready to experience the unique, smooth, and effective bounce of a Bellicon? With Bellicon’s warranty and return policy, you truly have nothing to lose. It’s the only exercise equipment I own, and the only one I want to own.
Before I wrap up this very long post, I want to share some of my favorite YouTube rebounding channels.
YouTube Rebounding Channels
The Bellicon+ platform is excellent because the videos are well-categorized. You can search by length of video, intensity, style, and even by your favorite instructor.
But there are also many YouTube channels with fabulous rebounding videos. Here are some of my favorites:
- SanFran Fitness Claire and Scott have had an established channel for a while, and also offer their own subscription service. Their videos offer a good variety for beginners to advanced, and choreography that isn’t complicated but keeps it fun.
- Renee Lynn I love how Renee offers many shorter-length videos, some just 4 minutes – but effective!
- Michelle Brieler Many of Michelle’s videos are advanced, so note this if choosing a random video. She does have some beginner videos, but most of her classes are longer nd more intense.
- Jump and Jacked Sydney’s videos are often a slightly slower tempo, so can be good for beginners to intermediate.
- Earth and Owl Nikki offers a great variety of videos on her channel, and has some creative classes. Definitely a good channel for beginners to explore.
I hope this post has been useful for you when exploring Bellicon and other rebounders. 🔔 Note: If purchasing a Bellicon, use code EASTER-VUS-10 for an extra discount that isn’t on their site.
Go bounce, go have fun!
