How to Use Rebounding to Lose Belly Fat
Rebounding as an exercise is a great way to shape up and lose fat. A rebounder is a small trampoline that provides cardiovascular exercise through jumping. It's small enough to use inside, and many models fold up or come apart for easy storage.

Choose the rebounder that's right for you. Rebounders come in a variety of styles. Choose the one that's big enough to support your weight. The more legs the rebounder has, the sturdier it will be, so look for a model with at least six legs. Some models come with a balance bar that provides stability as you get used to the mini-trampoline. Consider purchasing this as an accessory.

Get comfortable with the rebounder with a health bounce. When doing a health bounce, don't allow your feet to leave the rebounder. Simply bounce up and down without jumping. This helps you to get a feel for it so that you don't injure yourself. Use the balance bar or a nearby wall or counter to keep your balance.

Jump higher for added aerobic benefits. As you get used to the rebounder, you'll be able to jump higher and higher. The higher you jump, the better aerobic workout you'll get. You'll also burn more calories, which helps to burn fat.

Use your rebounder several times a day. Aim for workouts of at least 30 minutes a day for cardiovascular health. Increasing the time will burn more calories. You don't have to do this all at once. Instead, use the rebounder for just a few minutes at a time, several times a day.

5
Combine rebounding with a healthy diet. You may not be able to reach your goal weight with rebounding alone. Track your calories to be sure that you are burning more calories than you take in.
