The Three Rebounder Bounces

Trampolines have been used for recreation and even Olympic competition for a long time. However, it wasn't until recently (mid 90s) that people actually started to become aware of how beneficial bouncing could actually be.

The mini tramp was marketed as a revolutionary new workout apparatus, and for a while it was all the hype and all the rave. Then it seems people stopped giving them as much attention.

It begs the question, are they really as useful and effective as they claim to be? There are three types of bounces you can do to strengthen either strength, cardio, or even just over all health; that is diversity you do not get with any other piece of exercise equipment.

The health bounce is something that no other gym set up is going to give you. Bouncing up and down actually works in a unique way to strengthen and clean the lymphatic system.

The lymphatic system follows the circulatory system through the body, but unlike the circulatory system there is no pump to allow liquids to flow through the lymph system. The lymphatic system strains all the grime and gook that shouldn't be in the blood, so without a pump it is stuck in your body where it was strained into the lymph system.

When we bounce up and down, even just lightly, we are actually helping to move that lymph gunk from our system into the kidney and liver where it can then be cleansed and taken care of properly. Walking and jogging also help to do this, but not nearly as much as bouncing will.

So simply by bouncing you will be less prone to getting colds, flus, and other common ailments that happen round October, November and December. One other thing this health bounce will do for you is oxidate the cells in your body.

When the cells are strengthened by getting more oxygen in them, all the tissues and organs in the body will be consequently strengthened as well. What happens is the add gravitational force of falling and rising again puts a slight amount of pressure on the cells, enough to strengthen them without ever doing any harm.

You can do the health bounce simply by bouncing straight up and down; your feet don't even have to come of the mat. The aerobic bounce is probably pretty self-explanatory.

Simply run in place on the mat. This is actually going to relieve tension you get from regular jogging and also allow you to do it inside the comfort of your own home.

According to NASA jogging on a rebounder is actually 68 percent more effective than regular jogging. The strength bounce will give you all the benefits of the health bounce, but it will also build some hard muscle.

Perform the strength bounce like a jump squat. These will all help to increase the quality of our life.
