Let's Get Moving!

Rebounder



My thought about exercise is this: I don't have a lot of time, what can I do that will benefit me the most in the shortest amount of time?


Exercise is important for many reasons but for so many years I found every reason why I didn't have time. When I first started out, my only form of exercise was my Rebounder.


Rebounding is an effective exercise that: Reduces your body fat **Firms your arms, legs, thighs, abdomen and hips **Increases your agility **Strengthens your muscles overall **Provides an aerobic effect for your cardiopulmonary systems **Rejuvenates your body when tired **Puts you in a state of mental and physical wellness **
People who rebound find that they are able to work longer, sleep better, and feel less tense and nervous. The effect is not just psychological, because the action of bouncing up and down against gravity effectively stimulates the lymphatic system without trauma to the musculoskeletal system. This unique discovery is central to the reasons Rebounding has become one of the most beneficial forms of exercise ever developed.



Fascinating ways the body responds to regular rebounding:
1.Rebounding provides an increased G-force (gravitation load), which strengthens the musculoskeletal systems. 2.Rebounding protects the joints from chronic fatigue and impact delivered by exercising on hard surfaces. 3.Rebounding helps manage body composition and improves muscle-to-fat ratio. 4.Rebounding aids lymphatic circulation by improving the millions of one-way valves in the lymphatic system. 5.Rebounding circulates more oxygen to the tissues. 6.Rebounding establishes a better equilibrium between the oxygen required by the tissues and the oxygen made available. 7.Rebounding increases capacity for respiration. 8.Rebounding tends to reduce the height to which the arterial pressures rise during exertion. 9.Rebounding lessens the time during which blood pressures rise during exertion. 10.Rebounding assists in the rehabilitation of a heart problem. 11.Rebounding increases the functional activity of the red bone marrow in the production of red blood cells. 12.Rebounding improves resting metabolic rate so that more calories are burned for hours after exercise. 13.Rebounding causes the muscles to perform work in moving fluids through the body to lighten the heart's load. 14.Rebounding decreases the volume of blood pooling in the veins of the cardiovascular system preventing chronic oedema. 15.Rebounding encourages collateral circulation by increasing the capillary count in the muscles and decreasing the distance between capillaries and the target cells.

Ok, I'm pretty sure you can see the benefit of this amazing little piece of equipment! One very important note: Not all mini tramps are created equal! It must have springs!!! No bands. You can't go out and buy a $45 mini tramp and expect it to feel good on your joints!
There is so much I could say about this great exercise but I don't want to get too crazy. If you have never tried it, I would highly recommend it! Just 10 minutes a day gives you an amazing workout!!!
If anyone wants more info, let me know. Otherwise, we'll move on to my next favorite type of exercise!!

Does a big trampoline work the same way?

A big trampoline is a great way to exercise but you won't get the same effects that you would get from a small tramp. You would have to jump longer on a big tramp. It's great for working the big muscles!
