YOUR PURE LIFE

Rebounding is a unique exercise in that you achieve a weightless state at the top of each jump then land with twice the force of gravity on each bounce. This twice-gravity bounce affects every muscle and cell of the body. Researchers at the University of Kentucky, in conjunction with NASA, concluded that "the magnitude of the biomechanical stimuli is greater with jumping on a trampoline than with running."

NASA did research back in the late 70s and 80s, and it discovered that astronauts, after some time in space, would lose close to 14-15% of bone mass. One way the scientists believed that astronauts could get the appropriate strength conditioning to counteract this loss was from rebound exercise. Their research indicated that rebounding was 68% less traumatic to the musculoskeletal system than jogging on a hardwood surface or cement surface. So, their study really gave credibility to rebound exercise as a non-jarring exercise and as something that could maintain the strength of the bones.

Besides eating a balanced diet, the single most beneficial thing you could do for your health is “cellular-exercise.” And that’s where gravity plays a large part in boosting the immune system.

Rebounding is also a cellular exercise. The body has sixty-five to maybe eighty trillion cells. Cell strength is enhanced by jumping up and down on the rebounder because of the added G-force of your own body weight. The cells become more resistant and stronger and your immunity is enhanced.

According to researcher Albert Earl Carter, “Every cell in your body does need exercise and will benefit from activity.” The basic component of any and all exercise is gravity and the body’s ability to react to its pull – or opposition. This reaction is strength-building, down to the very smallest of cells. Theoretically, if one were to subject himself to twice the normal force of gravity (2 Gs), he would become twice as strong. And not just muscular strong, but strong on a cellular level. Stronger cells are healthier, more resilient disease-fighters.

Because the cells in the body live in an essentially zero-gravity environment, it is necessary to alter the G-force in order for fighting immune system) to reap the full benefits of exercising. Jogging, swimming, or other exercises cannot do this, as they cannot offer the consistent change in gravitational force that is needed. As NASA discovered, rebounding is the only exercise proven to exert the right amount of “pull” on the human body down to the cellular level.

Some unique things happen at the cellular level when rebounding. Unlike jogging or any other activity which places only portions of the body in a cycle of changing G forces, rebounders change the G forces from 0 up to 2 or more Gs on each bounce cycle. Some of the cellular changes expected with any good exercise program are: the performance and circulation of the heart, lungs, and lymphatic system are dramatically improved, while the muscle tone and skeletal mass enjoy healthy increases. An additional plus is an almost total lack of injuries seen with many other aerobic activities.

Regular exercise helps prevent clogging of the arteries and lessening of cardiac performance. Exercises like rebounding that work the leg muscles help keep the blood moving. The contractions of these muscles (the calf muscles in particular) during exercise act like pumps to circulate the blood back up to the heart for fresh oxygen.

For somebody really out of shape who has not exercised in quite some time, or for elderly people or seniors, they need to start out with very, very mild exercises. It’s best to have them work with a physical trainer or personal trainer rather than sticking them in a rebounding fitness class with forty people.

For an athlete, rebounding helps you become grounded and rooted. Whether you are a baseball player, a racquetball player or a tennis player, you want to take energy from the ground. Power comes from a grounded stance.

For people with either catastrophic or mild injuries needing rehabilitative exercise, you can still do rebound exercise, but need a trainer. If you have any slipped disc or back problems, you should consult a physician.

Unlike other methods that require expensive equipment, membership to health clubs, or a lot of sweat and strain – along with injuries from time to time – REBOUNDING is safe and designed to be easy on your body from the start, building endurance and strength without any threat of the damage that can result with most other exercise programs. Because it is pleasant to use and can be done in your home, you’ll also find it easy to continue your progress toward becoming the image of good health.
