Get Jumping!! Rebounder Workouts = Cardio without Impact
I loooove my rebounder mini-trampoline workouts. Why? Efficient cardio without high-impact hurting my joints + the bonus of improving lymphatic flow.
It's a great 1-2 punch to get a high energy, low-impact sweat on with the added benefit of using the trampoline as a step, bench and other uses to allow for building muscle (especially when you add-on the strength training kit for a true muscle-building workout!).
You can even use code: SAMANTHA10 for 10% off fitness trampolines model 250 or higher.
