Ways and opportunities for exercise—regardless of fitness level, age, or location

Doctors and therapists say it, lifestyle magazines write about it, everyone knows it: exercise is important. But as is so often the case with good intentions, we end up not following through...

No time, too strenuous, severe pain, too boring, inner laziness—everyone knows the thousand reasons not to exercise. Perhaps bellicon®, the mini-trampoline, offers an alternative for all those who would like to get some exercise at home. In addition, regular trampoline training has many positive effects on the entire body and mind. Bouncing on this device not only effectively strengthens the cardiovascular system and all muscles, but also activates the metabolism of every single cell. The moderate exercise on the bellicon® also promotes the body’s self-healing abilities, which in turn has positive effects on a variety of lifestyle-related diseases.

For every situation in life

The causes of back pain are varied, and we now know that keeping the back immobile does not provide long-term relief. Instead, it is important to move it frequently, train the muscles in a balanced way, keep the intervertebral discs well-nourished, and combat stress. Regular bouncing on the trampoline accomplishes all of this almost effortlessly—gently and without strain. Whether someone is plagued by pain and tension or wants to get in shape to shed a few pounds. A recent study published in the International Journal of Sports Science concluded that trampoline jumping is twice as effective at improving aerobic fitness and 50 percent more efficient at burning fat than running. Exercising also releases endorphins and other “feel-good” hormones. Among other things, this leads to that great feeling that so many people love after a workout.
