KARL FREW IS A POPULAR FITNESS PRESENTER AND DIRECTOR OF ACTION UK

According to NASA ‘Rebound exercise is the most efficient and effective exercise yet devised by man’. This is because NASA found that oxygen consumption while bouncing was up to 68% higher than while running and that 10 minutes “rebounding” is equivalent to a 30 minute jogging session…without the skeletal shock.

Fitness presenter and Director of Action UK, Karl Frew, recommends rebounding for everyone, at any age, whether they are a young mother, grandparent, professional athlete, a rising sports star at school or are busy with a hectic work schedule.

“Rebounding is a great way to exercise, it’s easy to do and it is FUN! And once you start you won’t want to stop. It’s one of the best low impact exercises you can do and it can be done anywhere - be it at home - indoors or outside - or at the gym. For those who are in training, for similar levels of heart rate and oxygen consumption, rebounding provides more biomechanical stimulation than running and builds up stamina, agility, endurance, strength and overall physical fitness.”

According to Karl, rebounding also improves the functioning of the lungs, heart and blood vessels and is an excellent way of achieving cardiovascular health. It is also popular with physiotherapists as part of a rehabilitation programme.
