I don't rebound to specifically improve my balance and I don't think basic health bouncing improves balance. But I do think more intense rebounding workouts indirectly improve balance by activating the core as core strength does impact balance. Also, I have done tree pose on my rebounder and it's a lot harder than doing it on the the floor, lol.

I think the balance work comes on the rebounder if you do more of standing on one leg, doing more one leg work.
Using the rebounder with both feet such as jumping, jogging, walking i wouldn't think helps with balance. Now if I try to stand on one leg on the rebounder, I start shaking and can't hold it very long so I think that is where it helps? I don't know just my opinion. Even trying to kick on the rebounder is tough for me as I don't have quite the balance on the rebounder as I do the floor. Hope this makes sense but again just my opinion/observation for myself. |

Hmm, I have not had the same experience. I use my Bellicon at least 3 times per week. I do a lot of the workouts on the be360 platform, and a lot of them do incorporate balance work. I also do balance work on the floor, Yoga, etc. I have not noticed any difference, other than the balance work is harder on the Bellicon. Like anyone else, some days my balance is better than other days. I think it is good to do balance work on and off of the rebounder.

I have done some balance work on the Bellicon. It is an unstable surface like a balance disk or BOSU. I need to add back my balance work on a stable surface, too. Both are important! Thanks for the replies!

Rebounding helps my balance. When I first started rebounding it was hard to balance on it. Over time it improved. I suppose it depends on what kind of balance issues your having. I have MS, my balance center was damaged from the lesions in my brain. Rebounding helps to retrain the area, to develop new neurons to compensate.
