The New Wave of Fitness Craze: Urban Rebounding

Urban rebounding program is a unique form of fitness that is created by J.B. Berns. In Berns’ more than two decades of practicing martial arts and yoga, parts of his experience, including times he was recovering from a knee injury, have been incorporated into the urban rebounding system. This form of workout has a lineage in martial arts and promotes core abdominal stance through its non-stop abdominal exercise.

Urban rebounding is a regimen that helps in the reduction of body fats while firming the legs, thighs, hips, abdomen and arms and can be done at the comfort of ones house. This workout burns a lot of calories while experiencing minimal impact on the body. NASA found out, while training their astronauts for years, that rebounding is 68 percent more efficient than any other forms of exercise, hence the term “miracle exercise.” Urban rebounding is a safe form of exercise where the feet barely leave the surface of the jump bed. In order to just get the hang of it, training bars are provided for first timers. Jumping strong rather than high is the main aim in doing the workout. Thus urban rebounding truly melts away tremendous amounts of fat without stress or injury on the joints. It provides a cardiovascular workout with no excess stress on the heart and muscles, too, through the use of familiar aerobics moves.

The program is achieved by jumping only a few inches off the surface of an urban rebounding fitness equipment called the urban rebounder while performing those aerobics movements. This piece of contraption reduces the unforgiving stress that the body experiences going through the routines that some other types of aerobic exercise have. It also improves 70 percent in balance and coordination, according to the finding of the study at the Cornell Hospital for Special Surgery, which athletes and seniors look forward to.

Performing entirely on this specially designed high quality, spring-enhanced mini trampoline that has a jump bed of a non-slip surface can work all the muscle parts of the body achieving the needed calorie burn in every 20-minute session, thrice a week. The urban rebounder is specifically designed for performing the exercises in the urban rebounding workout and supports all levels of fitness experience from beginners to advanced, in all age groups: kids, adults and seniors alike.

Ever since JB Berns created this workout, especially during the last eight years, several other urban rebounding workouts have been formed incorporating yoga, martial arts like kickboxing and, nowadays, even the many forms of dances from hip-hop to ballet as well as resistance training like stretching or the hi/low bound advanced cardiovascular regimen and even sports specific training exercises. Urban rebounding has become a powerful total body workout that is now in hundreds and thousands of fitness gyms and health clubs worldwide.
