Rebound Fitness Master Trainer James Winfield joined forces with Nick Anderson at Saucony to\u00a0talk all things running and how Rebounding can keep you on track to smash your PBs race after race.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Here are just 6 of the many ways regular Rebounding can improve your running performance and help keep you injury free:[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Core Strength<\/strong><\/u>
\nWe all tend to train our abdominals lying on the floor but this isn’t really functional and this isn’t how our abdominals are built to function. \u00a0When we’re running we have to be upright and able to stabilise the important muscles of the pelvis and the spine by strengthening your core in a functional position. \u00a0This is what\u00a0the\u00a0Rebounder is incredible at. When bouncing on the Rebounder your core engages constantly and involuntarily – if it didn’t you would simply not be\u00a0able to stay on the\u00a0Rebounder!<\/p>\n

Active Recovery<\/strong><\/u>
\nA gentle 10 minute Rebound workout post run is the perfect way to\u00a0dissipate the\u00a0lactic acid that builds up in the lower limbs during a\u00a0run.\u00a0The body is weightless at the top of the bounce causing the lymph valves to open, and at the bottom of the bounce your functional bodyweight is effectively 3 times heavier than when\u00a0standing and\u00a0your lymph valves are forced to close. \u00a0This\u00a0provides\u00a0an incredible lymphatic flush\u00a0which\u00a0removes all of the toxins and waste products that accumulated during our run.<\/p>\n

Glute Activation<\/strong><\/u>
\nYour glutes are the powerful muscles that drive you forward when running. Strong gluteal muscles are crucial for a\u00a0strong, stable stride pattern. \u00a0Glute activation is again involuntary and constant while working on the rebounder. Constant contraction of this powerful muscles helps to create a strong foundation to quickly improve your running.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Pre Run Warm-up<\/strong><\/u>
\nWarm up with a high knee jog on the Rebounder. \u00a0The low impact surface allows you to safely mobilise\u00a0the joints without risk of jarring your knees, ankles or hips.\u00a0A high knee jog followed by some condition exercises before your run will\u00a0help your body to pump\u00a0blood into the muscles where it will be needed most and ensure that your core unit and stabilising muscles are warm before you start pounding the pavement.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Injury Prehab & Rehab<\/strong><\/u>
\nWorking on the unstable surface of the Rebounder challenges the stabilising muscles in an around the ankle,\u00a0knee and hip complex. \u00a0By\u00a0strengthening the\u00a0medial and lateral stabilisers of the ankle,\u00a0knee and the hip and improving overall joint stabilisation\u00a0we dramatically reduce the risk of injuries like a rolled ankle whilst also improving balance.<\/p>\n

Cross Training<\/u><\/strong>
\nIn order to improve in any one sporting element\u00a0we need to vary our workouts and training in order to challenge our body and push it to become better – this is know as The Variation Principle. Rebounding reduces 87% of the shock of impact compared to running on a hard surface so can be great\u00a0complimentary training for runners on rest days or when your knees need a rest from pounding the pavement.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
