Will I lose weight if I rebound?
Like all exercise, your potential benefits from rebounding will be influenced by your overall lifestyle.

However, you can't exercise your way out of a poor diet.

What makes bounti Rebounders different?
We’re very proud to offer you the highest-quality rebounders in South Africa. Many mass-produced rebounders have a hard, jarring bounce, which means fewer health benefits and a higher risk of injury.

How soon after having a baby can I rebound?

Can I use rebounding as a recuperation exercise after surgery?

Is it ok to feel stiff in my lower abdomen area the day after rebounding?
This is very normal. The lower abdomen is targeted and strengthened the most when you bounce, so it will be the stiffest part of your body after a session. You’ll notice that this will soon change over time.

Is it normal to get a headache after rebounding?
Yes. Rebounding promotes the body’s natural detoxing processes, which may result in a headache. Be sure to drink plenty of water after every session.

The general rule of thumb is: if you can walk, you can walk on a rebounder; if you can run, you can run on a rebounder. Rebounders are an incredible tool for physical recovery and are used frequently by physiotherapists as a non-impact form of exercise. That said, you always need the guidance of an expert if you are recovering from any ailment or are exercising post-surgery, so be sure to get their opinion before you begin bouncing.

Can I rebound if I am undergoing cancer treatment?

How long should I rebound as a beginner?
As long or as little as you like – even just five minutes a day makes a great start. You may want to stick to under 20 minutes for the first two weeks, then extend the length of your workouts thereafter. If you're looking for a progressive programme to get you started gradually, check out our 4-week bounti Foundation Programme or our 8-week bounti Beginner's Programme.

Do I have to use accessories?
While they are beneficial because they do add extra resistance, and more of a challenge to your workout, using accessories is totally optional when you work out - and only light weights, under 3kgs, are recommended for rebounding (due to the increased gravitational force). While it's important to always stay challenged and keep progressing, take it at your own pace, and don't do too much too soon.

Can I rebound if I’ve had a hip replacement?
Yes, rebounding helps prevent blood clots, increases circulation, strengthens your muscles and improves hip mobility. Rebounding doesn't tear down tissue but increases nutrients, oxygen, and circulation, which helps to nourish and rebuild cells.

Should I rebound with or without shoes?
While it’s possible to rebound in lightweight trainers or even barefoot, we would much rather recommend a pair of our incredible bounti Soles or bounti Socksbounti Soles and Socks maximise the space on your Rebounder (unlike trainers, which can be bulky and restrictive), allow the most effective stimulation of the proprioceptors on the soles of your feet, are more forgiving on your rebounder mat (reducing wear-and-tear impact), are more hygienic (bare, sweaty feet carry fungal infections and bacteria), give you a firm - yet gentle - non-slip grip that promotes balance, stability and confidence when bouncing.
