Rebounding Your Way to Greater Health and Fitness

What is Rebounding?

It is simply a term used for an exercise routine done on a mini-trampoline. The popularity of rebounding has grown significantly due to the wide range of health benefits associated with using one. People of all ages are able to use this device to significantly improve their state of health and fitness.

It is arguably the most effective and efficient exercise program to appear on the scene in the last 50 years. It's a near-zero impact exercise that produces numerous benefits for the user.

Working Out Using a Mini-Trampoline Will:

Suitable for All Ages

The very nature of bouncing on a trampoline places no strain or undo stress on the joints or the muscles. Your feet don't even have to leave the surface of the mat for you to notice the benefits to your health in a very short period of time. Even if you can't stand on a trampoline, just sitting on it and bouncing will produce a pronounced benefit. If you need to hold onto something when you first begin to workout, just move a high-backed chair next to the frame to steady you.

Bouncing for Health

The absence of a regular exercise program increases your risk of disability (or worse) from heart disease, cancer, or a number of other degenerative diseases. Every cell in your body depends upon a rich supply of oxygen and essential nutrients. The bouncing motion increases the circulation of your blood and stimulates the flow of T-cells (immune system) throughout the lymphatic system and increases the delivery of oxygen to cells throughout your body.

In a study conducted by NASA, a Trampoline Workout System burns more calories than jogging. The study showed that a person will burn roughly 15% more calories rebounding than they would if they jogged at the pace of 5 miles per hour for an equal period of time.

Reduction of Toxicity

According to Dr. Arthur C. Guyton, "During exercise the rate of lymph flow can increase to as high as 14 times normal due to the increased activity." The change in gravitational forces produced by rebounding allows for greater blood flow. This helps the body rid itself of toxins, dead cells, cancer cells, trapped proteins, infectious viruses, heavy metals and other cast offs that the body no longer needs or has been storing.

Anti-Aging Benefits

Numerous studies have shown a definite and strong link between exercise and mortality rates. Quite simply, to lower the risk of early death and to keep your body from 'wearing out', you need to exercise on a regular basis. Exercise helps to prevent heart disease. The gravitational effect achieved on a trampoline significantly increase blood flow rates which in turn helps to prevent clogging of the arteries and improves cardiac performance. Working the heart harder on a regular basis improves its overall function so that it doesn't have to work so hard during normal activities.

It increases your red cell count and thus allows for faster oxygen transport throughout the body, which can lower elevated blood pressure. The capacity of the lungs are also increased which helps to move and process more air (oxygen). This replenishes the cells and tissues of the body quicker. As result, your metabolism is increased and you tend to absorb more nutrients from your food more efficiently.

Looking For Quality Equipment

A quality system should:

Cellursize

The greatest advantage of a Trampoline Workout System is that it exercises the entire body, cell by cell. Since our health begins at the cellular level, developing strong and functional cells is more important than strengthening any individual part of the body.

Recommendation

After purchasing and/or testing several different rebounder models, I concluded that The Gaiam product is of high quality and well suited for home use -- at near HALF THE PRICE as the more 'trendy' brand name products currently being offered.

Used by NASA, public gyms, public schools and professional sports leagues, the Gaiam Mini Trampoline Workout System has proven to produce results equal to, or better than than many higher priced exercise devices.
