Pregnant Women Can Find Relief Using Rebounder Mini Trampolines

By Jane Bracken

The best trampoline to use is the rebounder, but most websites do not recommend using mini trampoline rebounders during pregnancy. This is mostly a blanket declaration that does not consider instances in which using a rebounder is perfectly acceptable. The safety of the rebounder during pregnancy must be considered on a case-by-case basis and the woman must consult her doctor before engaging in this exercise. Some women have found that rebounding is their preferred method of exercise during pregnancy. They pay close attention to intensity and comfort by listening to their bodies and monitoring their condition throughout.

The intensity of the workouts during pregnancy depends upon the intensity of the workouts before pregnancy and the fitness level they have. Women who were athletic when they were not pregnant can endure higher frequency and intensity than women who were mostly sedentary.

Rebounding during pregnancy has some health benefits besides keeping the mother active. It can help relieve incontinence and improve circulation to all parts of the body as well as to the baby. Another benefit is that, unlike most forms of exercise, using the best trampoline puts less pressure on the joints. Joint swelling and pain is a common problem for pregnant women and most exercise only exacerbates the problem.

Use caution when rebounding on the rebounder mini trampoline: start gently and build without clearing the mat. Wear proper shoes or bare feet while rebounding and get off the rebounder carefully because a fall could potentially cause injury or even harm the baby.

Pregnant women who want to relieve some pain and remain fit and healthy can do some simple exercises on the rebounder. The apelvic rocka is a simple exercise during which the woman sits on the rebounder cross-legged and rocks to the left and the right.

To relieve lower back pain, some women use another simple exercise called the aback archa. In this exercise, while on her hands and knees, the woman arches her back up high toward the ceiling and then lowers her belly low toward the floor.

She can also use light, soft weights, three pounds or less if necessary, strapped to her wrists. The weights can be used in simple squats but she should use caution on this exercise: as she straightens to an upright position, the mat will give and cause instability. It takes some getting used to but maintaining balance is part of the exercise.

Rebounders, the best trampolines, can be perfectly fine for use during pregnancy. To be sure, any pregnant woman should check with her doctor before beginning to use one. While exercising, it is important to be alert for any negative effects, such as nausea, dizziness, increased body temperature, heart palpitations, pain in the chest of abdomen, or vaginal bleeding. Each of these symptoms can be dangerous and should be taken seriously. Using a rebounder can be a relaxing and fun way to stay fit and healthy while pregnant. - 16887
