Requirement of Effective Exercise: Part II Advantages of Aerobic Effect & Flexibility

When you Rebound you fulfill the four requirement of an effective exercise:

• Strength (covered in Part I)

• Aerobic capability

• Flexibility

• Endurance


Advantages of Aerobic Effect

When you rebound you get a great aerobic workout and this provides two of the greatest benefits: increase of oxygen and the stimulation of the lymph system.  Together these two great systems help in burning more calories, destroying toxins, getting rid of waste, and delivering the vital nutrients required to survive.  Rebounding increases the stimulation of these two systems and is vital to optimal health.    

Flexibility

Rebounding not only is 68% more effective then regular exercise but it is also provides 87% less stress and strain to the knees and ankles when bouncing.   Rebounding is the perfect way to warm up and relax the body and this will help with flexibility.  There are various different exercises that you can perform on the rebounder.  We will discuss some of these in a later posting.

Requirement of Effective Exercise: Part I Strengthening

When you Rebound you fulfill the four requirement of an effective exercise:

·        Strength

·        Aerobic capability

·        Flexibility

·        Endurance

Strengthening

When you think of strength training you would normally think of body builders.  Strength training is one of the vital requirements in living a healthy lifestyle.  Rebounding, being a resistance exercise, helps to keep the muscles strong and flexible while also strengthening the bones.  Rebounding is an effective way to use all the muscles in the body while putting a healthy stress on the bones.  Doing this daily will help the improvement of physical appearance, athletic power and metabolic function.  For weight loss, rebounding increases metabolism, tones and slims the body.  Strength training is vital to staying trim and slim because of the fact that muscle burns more calories then fat.  So, by building more muscle your body will burn off more fat.  Strength training does more then help with physical things, it also helps in the release of endorphins which helps people with depression, anxiety and stress.

Strength training through rebounding is the perfect way to stay fit and healthy while aging.  It increases your metabolism, which in turn gives your energy levels a boost.  You receive an increase of blood flow, which helps with keeping your skin and hair healthy.  Your bones will receive an increase in bone mineral density and has also been shown to improve balance, which helps against falls.

The main point that we are trying to make is that strength training with a rebounder helps in providing the essentials for life to exist through the billions of cells throughout our body.  Those essentials are oxygen, nutrients and removal of waste products.

What is Rebounding?

Rebounding is an exercise that is a therapeutic movement on a mini-trampoline.  They also call it a cellular exercise because it is involved with moving all parts of the body.  We all have many systems in our body that perform different bodily functions.  The heart pumps the blood to different parts of the body is one example of this.  We also have a system called the lymphatic system (white blood system) but this system does not have a pump.  The only thing that makes this system work is movement.  When movement stimulates the lymph system it moves the lymph fluid around the body, which removes toxins and delivers vital nutrients to the cells.

When using rebounding as an exercise it is one exercise that is superior to any other because it uses gravity and two other forces known as acceleration and deceleration.  When you are bouncing and are at the top of your bounce you experience weightlessness, and when you are at the bottom of your bounce your weight ends up doubling pulling you into the center of the rebounder.

Main Benefits of Rebounding

a) As we said before, rebounding is a CELLULAR EXERCISE, which in turn will strengthen every cell in the body.
b) Rebounding is 68% more effective then your regular exercises because:
• Acceleration and deceleration are in effect which doubles your weight at the bottom of the bounce.  Because of this effect you can do what would take 1hr of regular exercise and do it in 30 minutes on a rebounder.
• Rebounding is also gentler on the knees and ankles unlike other exercises.  

c) Rounding and DETOXIFICATION EFFECTS.  This is all done by the lymphatic system, which cleans and brings nutrients to the billions of cells throughout the body.  The system only works by the movement of our body, which makes rebounding an excellent tool in doing this.

Rebounding is a cellular exercise (it strengthens every cell)

To determine a person’s health will depend on how well the billions of cells that make up the body are functioning.    All the cells in the body need plenty of oxygen and essential nutrients, which will create the energy necessary for optimal performance.  When circulation slows down so does the removal of wastes, toxins, and plasma proteins causing it to be garbage landfill around the cell walls.

Once you have reached adulthood your body consists of billions and billions of cells that try to maintain themselves against all odds that surround them.  Cells multiple and enlarge to keep up with the demands of the body.  Rebounding provides a low impact aerobic exercise for your cells.

You can ‘overstress’ cells, while doing any aerobic exercise, which cause rupture of the cell, and injury is sustained. 

You can also apply ‘too little stress’, and this can cause cells to degenerate and weaken.  With rebounding you ‘stress’ the cells perfectly which causes a cleansing and makes the cell strong.

It’s important to remember that every cell in your body depends on a rich supply of oxygen and essential nutrients that come from your food.

Exercise becomes truly beneficial when you increase the flow of blood and lymph, and stimulate the respiratory system to deliver more oxygen to the cells.  Rebounding does exactly all these things and in return you have stronger cells.

Rebounding's stabilizing effect on the nervous system

How would you like to be put into a trance like state where you are able to relieve stress from your body?  Rebounding and jumping on the trampoline will do just that!  During jumping and rebounding your nervous system stabilizes causing the release of stress.  This not only happens during your exercise, but also will help continue to maintain your stability once you step off the trampoline. 

The result:

·         You will increase your resistance to environmental, physical, emotional, and mental stress.

·         It may also aid an individual in being able to avoid psychosomatic disease and mental or behavioral instability. 

Rebounding and jumping on the trampoline can be a life long adventure that can be enjoyed over and over again.  Not only that but you are able to adjust it to your own personal level of fitness.   Put it to the test and try rebounding and  find out how much stress it will relieve you of.  I think you will be surprised!

Rebounding Oxygenating Effect

If you meet these next requirements you are more then likely never to experience or develop a heart problem unless you already have one.

1.    Have a resting heart rate of less than 60 beats a minute.

2.    Are not experiencing chest pains.

3.    Are engaged in a healthy lifestyle.

4.    Put forth a effort in doing rebounding for 40 minutes or more a day, at least five days a week

When you are rebounding or jumping on a trampoline you hit your target heart rate zone when you do it for the recommended 40 minutes. 

When you rebound and jump it strengthens your heart in the next two ways:

1.    The muscle itself is improved, toned, making it a better quality.

2.    The fibers coordination is increased as they wring blood out of the heart during each beat.

The effect of an aerobic workout like that of rebounding-jumping normally will supersede that of running. 

The measurements of the effects of rebounding/jumping will very depending on how hard and how high you will jump.  Rebounding/jumping create an oxygenating exercise and will work at any rate of performance.

  

Immune Systems benefits of Rebounding

The part of the body that is the garbage can that houses all the harmful toxins, dead cells, cancer cells and foreign substances is called the lymphatic system.

To protect the body from cancer cells, fungi, viruses or bacteria the system works together with white blood cells in the lymph nodes to combat these things from infecting the body.

Your immune organs are linked by lymphatic vessels, which include your bone marrow, tonsils, thymus, lymph nodes and your spleen.  This network is very busy and produces and circulates blood cells and antibodies to be able to fight infection, filter bacteria, and eliminate parasites and debris out of your bodies system.

The activation of lymph is the most effective in combating modern-day illnesses because they are immune related. The lymphatic system has no pump like the heart.  Any type of movement or exercise will stimulate the movement of lymph fluid inside the vessels, but the most effective way is rebounding or jumping on the trampoline due to the forces involved when bouncing. 

When you are rebounding or jumping on a trampoline you get the effects called G-forces, which cause a vertical up and down movement.  This movement causes the lymph valves to open and close creating a flow of lymph.  By bouncing you get an increase of flow of up to 15 times which will boost your immune system and creates the perfect pump for your lymphatic system.

Rebounding for Detoxific

Rebounding and jumping on the trampoline is a way to reduce body fat while firming body tissues without requiring a lot of stress.  Running in place on the rebounder or trampolines will burn the calories effectively while helping your body detox.

The metabolic garbage can of the body known as the lymphatic system rids you of toxins such as dead ad cancerous cells, nitrogenous wastes, fat, infectious viruses, heavy metals, and other assorted junk cast off by the cells. The optimum running performance of this system is vital to the overall health of one’s body.  When you do rebounding and jumping on the trampoline, those movements performed provides the energy component for a free-flowing system that gets ride of these potential poisons. 

There is no pump for the lymphatic system like that of the arterial system.  The arterial system has a heart muscle to move its fluid.  Since the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump like the heart it has to be activated so that the flow of lymph moves away from the tissues that it is servicing and back into the main pulmonary circulation.   For this activation to happen it requires the contraction of muscle from exercise and movement, gravitational pressure, and internal message to the valves of lymph ducts. 

When you are rebounding and jumping you are activating the lymph system, which in return removes waste products from the cells and from the body.  The cells are rejuvenated with food and oxygen by the arterial system.  When bouncing, the lymph system goes through this recycling and rejuvenating cycles many times.

Rebouding and jumping is a lymphatic exercise.   It rides your body of toxic waste and replaces it with nutrients vital to the bodies overall health.  I would recommend it to anyone!

Benefits of Rebounding

One form of exercise that I really love is jumping on the trampoline and mini trampoline.  Throughout the day I jump many times while I’m listening to podcasts and music on my iPod or watch TV if I’m inside. 

The average trampoline is 14 foot across and 3 feet tall and for the mini trampoline its 3 feet wide and 9 inches high.  If used correctly the trampoline and mini trampoline are safe and easy to use and most of all an effective way to exercise.  Some scientists through research have come to the conclusion that rebounding and jumping could be the most effective exercise yet devised by man; especially in response to the effect rebounding and jumping has on the lymph in the body.

The most important thing about rebounding and jumping it that it is FUN, and because of that we stick with it!  Children as you have noticed naturally enjoy jumping on the bed.  Astronauts experience floating in space, which is the same thing your body experiences when rebounding and jumping.  Your body when jumping is in a state of weightlessness at the top of the bounce. 

The trampoline and mini trampoline put the body to gravitational pulls depending on how high the person is rebounding. Rebounding does not put extreme stress on certain joints like that of jogging. Rebounding affects all the joints and cells in the body equally.  Plus you don’t have to worry about cars, dogs or bad weather.

To have FUN or exercise while having FUN is what the trampoline and mini-trampoline are all about.  I can count countless days and nights with jumping on the trampoline, doing tricks, hanging out with friends, and clear nights of watching the stars while being on the trampoline. 

The trampoline is one of the best investments to have for your children and for yourself to endless fun and being able to stay fit by using it for exercise.

Trampoline benefits for Lymphatic System

The human body is made to move.  The lymph system is made to bathe the cells, and carries vital nutrients to the cell and then carries waste away from the cell.  Like the heart is made to pump blood, lymph is totally dependent on the movement of the body to be able to move.  That’s why physical exercise is so vital to ones complete healthiness.   Without exercise and adequate movement, there is no nutrients or waste removed from the cells leaving them swimming in pool of filth and starving them of vital nutrients.  When this happens it contributes to cancer, arthritis and to other degenerative diseases and also to faster aging.    When you do vigorous exercise like rebounding or jumping on the trampoline it has been reported to increase lymph flow by 15 to 30 times.

When lymph fluid moves it goes though channels called “vessels” which have one way valves making the fluid always move in the same direction. 

The lymph system has its main vessels going up the legs, the arm and the torso.  This is the exact reason why moving vertically up and down which you do when rebounding or jumping on the trampoline is so effective to pump the lymph.     

                                                      

Why is rebounding or jumping on the trampoline so beneficial to the lymphatic system? When you rebound or jump this has an affect on every organ, which is directly related to how efficient the lymphatic system and the immune system function.  There are many things the lymphatic system does which include being a defense mechanism against infection, viruses, bacteria and disease.   It is built of fluid, vessels and ducts.  When the lymphatic system is functioning at its peak performance, it clears all the toxins we absorb from the environment, wastes and infection from all tissues of the body through proper flow and drainage.  Rebounding and jumping on the trampoline offers many benefits to the lymphatic system and overall health.
