The Rebound Lab<\/a> was born.<\/p>\nBreedt now runs four rebounding classes a week, including two at Bethlehem Hall on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5.30pm.<\/p>\n
She said the concept of exercising on mini trampolines was a bit confusing for some at first, but people picked it up within minutes.<\/p>\n
The classes have formed a dedicated following.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard not to love because I mean, it\u2019s jumping on a trampoline to music with a group of people having fun and you don\u2019t have pain,\u201d Breedt said.<\/p>\n
Cheryl Cook attends three classes a week, and said she was so grateful to Breedt for starting them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s so many of us who are concerned with joints and hip problems and this allows us to have a full cardio without the impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
When she started attending, she suffered from tendonitis and currently has hip problems and is getting over two frozen shoulders.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would say to anyone, even if you only do it once, you\u2019re going to get a lot out of it,\u201d Cook said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love the enthusiasm that comes from our instructor. She feeds us with so much energy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Breedt said a lot of people struggled with joint pain and mobility concerns and she believed rebounding had many benefits for people of all ages and abilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose with aches and pains … they\u2019ve found this very helpful.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust jumping on the rebounder for two minutes helps to activate that lymphatic system and you contract all your muscles when you\u2019re jumping … So, it\u2019s a full body workout.\u201d<\/p>\n
Breedt said rebounding was also a real mood booster and an opportunity for social connection.<\/p>\n
The Bethlehem Hall sessions often had more than 20 people attending.<\/p>\n
For Breedt, who spends her days as a physiotherapist helping people with all sorts of injuries and aches and pains, rebounding classes were also a way to step up and lead by example.<\/p>\n
The first class is free. After that, it costs $15 per class. A bulk advance booking discount is available.<\/p>\n
