Instructors from Power Play Fitness in Dallas have been telling CBS3 how rebounding exercises work.

Visitors to the gym have been feeling the benefits. "I've really noticed it helps so much more with my stomach and getting those muscles just strengthened," class member Mary Griffiths told the news provider.
