I have to be honest with you. Despite being very committed to eating healthy, up till a few years ago I hated exercise! Indeed, for a long time I mostly abstained from any structured physical activity. However, as I had several chronic health issues, one of them being osteoporosis, and was a strong advocate for improving one’s diet and lifestyle, I knew that I could no longer ignore doing some form of routine exercise. As a result, and with a lot of effort, I finally got the courage to join a gym. I thought if I paid for an annual subscription, it would motivate me to attend regularly. This did work to some extent. I felt that as I had to get my money’s worth I needed to attend at least 3-4 times a week, which I mostly achieved. Despite this commitment, I still disliked it. I grudgingly went to the gym, and I gladly left when I finished my session.
Eventually, when even the money was not a strong enough incentive to compel me to go to the gym, I stopped my subscription. I knew I needed to find an exercise that I would enjoy. I also wanted a routine that would be good for my health. So I spent the time researching on the internet until I discovered rebounding. The following is a summary of the health benefits of this type of activity.
30 Benefits of Rebounding for mind, body and overall health.
MIND
- Rebounding is an effective form of exercise by which the user gains a sense of control and an improved self image
- Better mental performance with keener learning processes
- Improves coordination between the proprioceptors in the joints, the transmission of nerve impulses to and from the brain, transmission of nerve impulses and responsiveness of the muscle fibers
- Improves balance by improving brain’s responsiveness to the vestibular apparatus within the inner ear
- Reduces feelings of anxiety and depression by an increase in endorphins.
BODY
- Aids lymphatic circulation by stimulating the millions of one-way valves in the lymphatic system
- Reduces Blood Pressure when the arterial pressures rise during exertion
- Enhances digestion and elimination processes
- Encourages blood circulation by increasing the capillary count in the muscles and decreasing the distance between the capillaries and the target cells
- Helps manage body composition and improves muscle-to-fat ratio
- Protects the joints from the chronic fatigue and impact delivered by exercising on hard surfaces
- Promotes tissue repair
- Easier on joints than the impact of running.
- Increases respiration and capacity for breathing
- Boosts metabolism and Improves resting metabolic rate; therefore more calories are burned for hours after exercise
- Holds off incidence of heart disease by lowering low-density lipoprotein (bad) in the blood and increasing high-density lipoprotein (good)
- Strengthens the heart and other muscles in the body
- Lowers circulating cholesterol and triglycerides levels
- Prevents chronic edema/swelling by decrease in the volume of blood pooling in the veins of the cardiovascular system
- Provides an increased G-force (gravitational load) which strengthens the musculoskeletal systems
- Activates pituitary gland which stimulates bones and encourages body growth
- Circulates oxygen to the tissues
HEALTH
- Allows for deeper sleep and easier relaxation
- Keeps you young by slowing down atrophy in the aging process
- Encourages Muscle Performance by causing muscles to perform work in circulating fluids throughout the body to lighten the heart’s load
- Rebounding for longer than 20 minutes at a moderate intensity increases the mitochondria count within the muscle cells, essential for improving endurance
- Aids alkaline reserve of the body, which may be of significance in an emergency requiring prolonged effort
- Boosts immune system and minimizes the number of colds, allergies, digestive disturbances, and abdominal problems
- Relieves Pain from sore neck and back, headaches, and discomfort caused by lack of exercise
- Reduces blood pressure by lessening the time during which blood pressure remains abnormal after severe activity
Rebounding is good for Weight Loss
This should be at the top of the list because meeting a healthy weight goal, and maintaining it, are what most people are striving for. The act of rebounding works every muscle of the body allowing for a true total body workout which improves your muscle-to-fat ratio. It can reduce cellulite (yes, read that again), and burn calories fast. Jumping boosts metabolism and improves resting metabolic rate so you can burn calories long after a workout. It will lower circulating cholesterol and triglyceride levels too. Rebounding also enhances digestion and your elimination process which contributes to weight loss.
Interestingly, a study in PLoS One showed that short bursts of interval training to be more advantageous than 50 minutes of continuous exercise. Hence, as consistency is the key to weight loss, and not everyone has time to work out for an hour at a time, short bursts of physical activity on a rebounder throughout the day might be a much better alternative. Just start bouncing and watch the calories burn. What’s even better is that while you are burning those calories, you are also toning your body, boosting your immune system, improving blood flow, increasing oxygenation and building strong muscles and bones. All this without the long tortuous work out! And what’s really great is that you can do all this while you are watching TV or listening to music, talking on the phone or just spacing out. And as you don’t need an electrical outlet, and it is relatively light to carry, you can even take it outside in your back garden and smell the fresh air at the same time. It is an economical, convenient, (you don’t need to go anywhere), safe, fun, easy, versatile and portable program for all ages! (In fact, you might have to fight with your kids and partner to get rebounding time!).
Here are just a few video clips you might enjoy viewing:
Purchasing the right fitness trampoline
When I was convinced it was the way to go, my next job was to decide which unit I was going to buy. It needed to be a solid construction that would be beneficial for my health and not detrimental to my spine. It was also important that it didn’t break the bank. I spent a lot of time reading through reviews, comparing specifications and prices. There were a few great ones. Some of the best units out there are Bellicon from Germany (considered top of the range), Needak, Cellerciser, Jumpsport and Rebound Air. Any one of these would have been a good choice. I really loved the Bellicon because it had bungee bands instead of springs, making it much quieter and more enjoyable to bounce on. However, the price was prohibitive. So I did the next best thing. I bought the Jumpsport that also had the bungee bands, excellent reviews, and most importantly was within my price range. And I have never looked back. I have had it for a few years now, jump on it EVERY day (would you believe it!) and it is still in top condition. Indeed, JumpSport Fitness comes with over 50 patented safety and performance innovations and are warrantied to last a lifetime.
Sometimes, I just take a book and lightly jump, march, or walk, while I am reading. Sometimes I put weights in my hands and do a series of weight bearing exercises for my arms and shoulders while bouncing. Sometimes I lie on it and do abdominal exercises and leg raises. And then sometimes I just go crazy and jump in all different ways, or dance to music, to my heart’s content. Often I do a few minutes of each of the above in one session. I love it. It fits easily into my routine, is versatile, and most of all is not boring. I even find it mood altering. There are also many rebounding exercise videos on the internet that you can follow (including the program provided with the unit). Some of these videos are aerobic, some include high interval intensity training, some are for beginners, some include resistance exercises and some do a mixture of them all.
When designing my website I thought it would be cool to introduce this form of exercise to my patients and anyone else who wanted to increase their activity levels. Indeed, many of my patients who come to me for a variety of health complaints as well as weight loss, are mostly sedentary, and dislike structured physical activity, similar to the way I did. If I learned to enjoy exercise, maybe they will too. So after a long struggle, I tracked down the distributor for JumpSport fitness trampolines in Australia. They have given me permission to sell their units on my site. Of course, if you are in the States or elsewhere, you need to get in touch with a distributor in your country.
To see some of the models and their prices, click here.
If you are interested, and decide to purchase one of our units, they will be shipped directly from the distributor to your door.
How to Use it
Once you have acquired one of these units, or any of the other great mini trampolines listed above, tailor your rebounding sessions to your unique situation. Of course, if you are elderly, frail, and have rarely exercised in your life, your routine will differ from someone who is relatively fit. In fact, it is strongly recommended that if you are elderly, or suffering from a chronic disease, that you consult your primary care provider to ensure that this form of exercise is not detrimental to your health. If safe, start at a moderate pace, so you are breathing slightly faster but not uncomfortably. Your feet don’t even need to leave the trampoline; you can just bounce up and down by bending your knees. And if you have stability issues, there is a handle bar attachment for sale that you can hold on to while jumping.
To begin with, try rebounding for at least 15 minutes daily for detox support. Try three five-minute sessions throughout the day. For weight loss support, rebound for 15-20 minutes at moderate intensity in one period, at least three times per week. Don’t rebound right after eating or drinking. Once more experienced, you can extend the time of each period, and more frequently throughout the week.
Just be mindful that if you are rebounding for weight loss, the amount of weight you lose, and how quickly you lose it, will depend on several factors i.e the number of calories you take in, how much you burn when you exercise, and consistency. Furthermore, rebounding results vary depending on your body weight.
Whether you decide to buy one of these units, or not, I sincerely hope that like I did, you find a regular exercise routine that you enjoy.

Keto Infinite Accel Forskolin Diet
My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform.
I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! https://ketoinfiniteaccelforskolin.com/

So sorry. Have no idea about all of these things. But I hope you have great success in everything you do.

I don’t drop many remarks, however i did
some searching and wound up here Why I Love Rebounding – Naturopath Solutions.
And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright.
Could it be just me or does it give the impression like some of the
remarks come across as if they are written by
brain dead people? 😛 And, if you are posting
on additional places, I would like to keep up
with anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of every one of all your
community sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter
feed? https://shredproelitepills.com/

Hi. I am not sure what you are saying. Do you feel that my post is patronizing? If so, that was not my intention. Are you interested in my other posts to see if they are also coming across in the same fashion, or do you believe I have something positive to offer? I try to put across information that will encourage my readers to think for themselves and put a lot of effort in everything I do. I would be very sad to know that is how you felt reading this post, but you have every right to share your opinion. This blog was a bit different from my other posts. I love my rebounder and wanted to share with my readers all the benefits from this form of exercise. I am only listing these products because I really believe in them. Otherwise I don’t normally sell products on my website. I have a blog page on my website and you are welcome to read them.
