A Hoist Fitness trampoline, often referred to as a "rebounder," is typically used within a Hoist Fitness MotionCage for dynamic, functional exercises that involve rebounding off the surface.
One common way to use the Hoist Fitness trampoline, as demonstrated in exercise protocols like those within the MotionCage, is for rebounder exercises involving a ball, such as a medicine ball.
Performing Rebounder Exercises
This specific application utilizes the trampoline's reactive surface to add a catching element to throwing exercises, engaging multiple muscle groups.
Here's a breakdown of how this type of exercise is performed based on the reference:
- Starting Position: Begin facing the Hoist Fitness rebounder, holding a ball.
- Propel the Ball: Throw the ball forcefully towards the trampoline surface. The reference notes users are "using their shoulders to propel the ball."
- Rebound: The ball rebounds off the trampoline back towards the user.
- Catch: As the ball rebounds, "clients catch the ball."
- Return to Start: After catching the ball, "bring it back to the starting position before performing the next rep."
This method transforms a simple throwing exercise into a dynamic movement requiring coordination, core engagement, and reaction time to catch the rebounding weight. The Hoist Fitness trampoline in this context acts as a functional training tool to facilitate these reactive movements within a structured environment like the MotionCage.
