Rebounding on a Cellerciser to Get Rid of Belly Fat

By Gregg Birkner

One of the biggest reasons people start rebounding is because they've gotten sick and disgusted with the fat around their belly. You know exactly what I'm talking about. It's that fat roll that oozes over the top of your jeans.

You know there is nothing at all wrong with being healthy, and I would never suggest that you become a stick figure, so skinny that all you are is skin and bones. That's not what good health is about and that's not what rebounding is about.

But when that belly starts to just sort of go anywhere it wants, it's time to work on it. Frankly, that big belly isn't any more healthy than being skin and bones. And you need to have strong and stable abdominal and trunk (otherwise known as core) muscles.

Rebounding or bouncing on a Cellerciser rebounder can definitely help with that. You can strengthen your core simply by doing basic bouncing moves on your rebounder. When you're rebounding, just make certain that you are keeping your posture straight and that you are pulling in your core muscles during your workout. You'll be surprised at how much of a difference this makes.

But there are also some other rebounding exercises you can do with your mini-trampoline that will specifically help strengthen those core muscles and get that flabby belly in shape. Try these:

• Sit on your rebounder in the middle of the mat. Now lean back. As you lean back, lift your legs so that your body makes a “V.” Now begin bouncing by moving your arms in a forward/up motion and then back and down. This will begin the bouncing motion. Hold your legs in position. This is not easy at the beginning, but it's very effective.

• A slightly easier version of the above exercise for your core is to sit on the mat and lean slightly back. Raise one leg and leave the other on the floor. You can hold on to the frame, or not, because the leg on the floor will help you with your bouncing motion. Bounce this way, with one leg up. Then switch legs.

• Using your balance bar, stand on your rebounder and alternately swing your legs to the side and to the front while keeping your abdominal muscles pulled in tightly.

Getting your core into shape isn't all that easy, but because rebounding is so effective, strengthening your abdominals and flattening your belly becomes less of an aggravation - that's for sure.
As you rebound regularly, you'll find that the fat around your belly area decreases and because you're also developing your core muscles, you'll find that your mid-section starts looking toned, flat, and yes, sexy!

If you're still looking for a recommendation about which rebounder is your best choice, I would say that the Cellerciser is it. The research I've done points to this brand of rebounder, which I consider to be a superior rebounder for getting in shape and losing that belly!
