Jumping For Health                        

Rebounding involves aerobic movements performed on a bouncing device that looks like a small trampoline. It does not have jarring effects to the ankles, knees and lower back that come from hitting the ground. There are many advantages to rebounding. Some key benefits are as follows:

Rebounding strengthens your heart. It improves the tone and quality of the muscle itself and in increases the coordination of the fibers as they wring blood out of the heart during each beat. The aerobic effect while you are rebound jumping equals and often surpasses that of running.

Rebounding detoxifies & removes waste products from the body. The lymphatic system is the metabolic garbage can of the body. It rids you of toxins such as dead and cancerous cells, nitrogenous wastes, fat, infectious viruses, heavy metals and other assorted junk cast off by the cells. Rebounding’s alternating weightlessness and double gravity produce a pumping action which pulls waste products from the cells. The movement preformed in rebounding provides the stimulus for a free-flowing system that drains away potential poisons.

Rebounding stabilizes the nervous system. Bouncing on a rebounder is an excellent way of reducing stress. Jumping not only stabilizes the nervous system during the exercise period, but continues to help maintain equilibrium after one steps off the rebounder. The result is increased resistance to environmental, physical, emotional and mental stress.

Rebounding also reduces your body fat, increases your agility, improves your sense of balance, strengthens your muscles overall and firms your legs, thighs, abdomen, arms and hips. Also, it’s fun to bounce!
