Get fit with Rebounding
What is rebounding you ask? Rebounding on a mini trampoline is perhaps the most efficient and forceful means of flushing the lymph while stimulating the immune system and defending against cancer and other ailments. And, you can do it for one up front payment (ranging from $50 to $250) while harnessing its powerful benefits in the comfort of your own home!
This is some terrific reading that I found way back. “During rebound exercise the forces of the upward and downward bounces – acceleration and deceleration – are vertically aligned on the same plane with gravity. It was proven by Albert Einstein in 1911 that the aligned forces of acceleration, deceleration and gravity result in an increased gravitational load.” Moreover, that means that the body is challenged during rebound exercise and demands our trillions of cells adapt and adjust to the increased load by becoming stronger. Rebounding strengthens virtually every cell of the body at the same time and is equivalent to resistance training for the cells.
Rebounding can be performed by healthy individuals for health maintenance and disease prevention. One or more long sessions of aerobic rebounding will help stimulate the immune system, improve digestion, control weight, tone and strengthen the body, and build endurance – especially when done with hand-held weights, yes!
How long do I have to do it?
Believe it or not only two minutes of rebounding will stimulate a flushing of the entire lymphatic system, while cleansing and strengthening cells and lymph nodes. A further benefit to the body is that during this brief time span the white blood cells of the immune system (strategic defense) triple in number and remain elevated for an hour. These specialized cells play a major role in our constant battle against illness and disease. For one full hour their activity is increased as they perform their tasks of destroying and eliminating cancer cells and other toxins, expending themselves in the process. An hour after rebounding for two minutes the white blood cell count returns to normal. This is awesome and I find that cardiovascular exercises like bunny hops, frog hops, split-lunge hops and other special bounding moves can also produce similar results?
In a perfect world we could leverage the extreme benefit from rebounding of two minutes for every waking hour, which means dedication to personal fitness, but we live in the world of meetings and appointments. This is a shame because exercise and the journey to optimal health are at stake, for some more than others? However, at this point in your health life you have a chance to step up and commit yourself to lifelong health! It takes forever; how ever long that is? My challenge for you…… drop the excuses and find the time!
Back to the article…….just a planned (1st things 1st) two-minute rebound session would increase the demand for white blood cells as the process of cleansing, strengthening, and the flushing away of spent cells and other cancerous debris is repeated. A therapeutic strategy to rebuild health would be to include rebounding or alternative forms of exercise into your scheduled life as many times a week as possible. Studies claim, “Therapeutic rebounding has been shown to reduce cancerous tumors and improve or heal a host of other ailments. Repeated short sessions sustain an active immune system, oxygenate and strengthen cells, and continuously cleanse the lymph.” Sign me up!
How about the weak and the elderly?
Those who are too weak to exercise or have difficulty standing have the ability to use a stabilizer bar, which is available with purchase in most quality rebounders, Needak is a model built for this. This enables the weak individual to feel secure while bouncing gently. It's important to begin slowly, and gradually increase to two minutes. This modality for trekking after optimal health will generate heart rate and it is suggested that it be introduced gradually to unfit people.
Final note: a healthy existence can only be sustained when we recognize the correlation between our toxic planet and our polluted bodies and become conscious stewards of both. One means toward this end is through daily contributions to your personal health. It is time to step-it-up!
