Rebounders (Mini Trampolines) Improve Health In Many

============ ====== ARTICLE START ============ ======
Rebounding is surprisingly an effective way to improve yourhealth and overall wellbeing. Benefits are many, and includeimprovements in muscle mass, endurance, the digestive system,bone density, the lymphatic system, nervous system, metabolism,circulatory system, balance, cholesterol, and even vision. It isall about how a rebounder allows you to use gravity to youradvantage. Intuitively, one would think that using a mini trampoline (arebounder) would be comparable to aerobic activities such asjogging or cycling. Rebounding is a great form of aerobicexercise, and does not have the bone-jarring impacts associatedwith running and jogging. Plus, it's fun! However, unlike otheractivities, the g-forces from rebounding exercises every singlecell in your body. When you reach the bottom of your bounce, youare subjected to about 1.5g (50% increase in the force ofgravity). At the top of your bounce you are weightless. Thisforces your body at the cellular level to strengthen itselfbecause of the constant cycle of increased/decreased stressplaced uniformly across your body. The effect caused from rebounding also stimulates the lymphaticsystem. The lymphatic system is responsible for carryingnutrients to all your cells and carrying away the wasteproducts. For this system to work effectively, it must bestimulated through movement and exercise. Without thisstimulation, your cells become laden with waste products andwithout the nutrients they need. By rebounding, the lymphaticsystem is stimulated to increase flow by up to 30 times thenormal rate, rapidly getting your cells the nutrients they need.The washing away of waste products brought on through the lymphsystem through rebounding is sometimes called detoxification. Effects on the nervous system are another advantage ofrebounding. Not only do you get into the "zone", providing greatrelaxation, but the act of rebounding stabilizes your nervoussystem and helps maintain equilibrium. Using a rebounder is agreat way to "de-stress", and is thought of as a way to improveoverall nervous system wellness. For those interested in building muscle and burning calories,rebounding is effective for many reasons. Not the least of whichis that rebounding is FUN. It can be very difficult to climb upon that exercise bike or treadmill day after day, but most usersof mini trampolines look forward to using their rebounder. Whilerebounding you can jog, jump, twist, etc. without wearingyourself out like with other exercises. A NASA study looked at the advantages of rebounding compared toother exercises. Their interest was in strengthening astronautsafter returning from lengthy missions in space. Rebounding on amini trampoline was compared to jogging on a treadmill, and theyfound that rebounding is 68% more efficient. They also foundthat it is safer to rebound rather than to jog because injogging the majority of impact stress is on the ankles andknees. Rebounding softens the impact and better distributesg-forces throughout the body. Again, because rebounding is fun, you are much more likely touse your rebounder for years and years. Because of this, whenselecting a mini trampoline, be sure to find one of good qualitysuch as a Needak Rebounders that will stand the test of time.While there are several alternatives, a piece of exerciseequipment that you know will be used for years should be made ofhigh quality components. Most important attributes of a qualityrebounder include: steel frame for strength and stability,non-exposed cleats, a spring cover, tapered coil springs, andhigh quality mat material. Books and DVDs can be very helpful ingetting the most from your mini trampoline and are many timesincluded with a rebounder.
