Trampoline Paul

Many people first fall in love with trampolines as children, but did you know that a trampoline workout can benefit adults just as much as they bring joy to the little ones? It’s true. In addition to being fun, a trampoline workout, also known as rebounding, has many great health benefits – particularly for your lymphatic system . For instance, did you know that rebounding can burn more calories than walking or jogging? Or that it’s a great way to work your major muscle groups because it allows you to work them through their full ranges of motion? Or that it’s downright fun?! A trampoline workout can also strengthen your body while detoxifying the cells within it. Plus, it’s a low-impact exercise option that’s very easy on the joints – something running can’t match. While you may think the type of large trampolines you seen in backyards may be a bit much, there are small versions that can fit right in your living room and are easy to store. So get ready to...

To maximize the benefit of your rebound workout: -Drink 12-16 oz of clean filtered water beforehand. -Do it outside and connect with God and nature. (If nature permits) -Take at least 10 deep breaths of fresh air while you do it. -Get sunlight on as much of your body as you can. -If possible do it with enough intensity to break a sweat. Give yourself 7-20 minutes. Sweating is important, but it also means you’ll need a shower afterward. The nice thing about rebounding is you can still get a benefit from it even if you don’t break a sweat. Try to get at least one sweaty rebounder workout per day. I do it first thing in the morning before I shower for the day. If you can’t do it outside, do it inside. Just do it! My wife Micah even used a rebounding workout dvd to lose her baby weight after our first daughter was born. Not all rebounders are created equal The quality of the frame, springs and mat are extremely important. Cheap rebounders are harder ...

Back in 2004 when I first started to research natural therapies I read every natural cancer survival testimony I could find. I found many common threads, and one of them was jumping on a mini trampoline, aka Rebounding . I figured since so many natural survivors and health practitioners were doing it there must be something to it… Rebounding creates an increased G-force resistance (gravitational load) and positively stresses every cell in your body. As a result, it strengthens your entire musculoskeletal system: your bones, muscles, connective tissue, and even organs.  And it promotes lymphatic circulation by stimulating the millions of one-way valves in your lymphatic system. Sounds pretty good right? In addition, rebounding is very low impact and allows you to do jumping and aerobic exercises for much longer intervals than you could on solid ground without tiring out or creating harmful oxidative and adrenal stress. The Three Basic Rebounding Exercises The He...

Let’s be honest about the immune system, most of us really have no idea what it is, or exactly how it works, we’re just glad we have one. The immune system is incredibly complex because your body has many lines of defense to rid itself of foreign invaders. In this post I’m going to address one critical component of your immune system. That is your lymphatic system. Here’s a quick anatomy lesson (I’m going to try to keep this really simple) Your lymphatic system is composed of your tonsils, thymus, bone marrow, spleen, lymphatic fluid, vessels, and lymph nodes. The thymus and bone marrow produce white blood cells called lymphocytes . Your blood vessels deliver oxygen and nutrients to your cells. Your lymph vessels are like blood vessels except they are full of clear lymphatic fluid that carries white blood cells (B cell and T cell lymphocytes) throughout your body so they can attack invaders and infected cells. Your lymphatic fluid also carries dead...

Aesthetics Although it may not seem as important to some, the aesthetics of a rebounder is still something to consider. An attractive mat and frame can influence your initial impressions of a rebounder. Whether a model looks cheap or high quality can greatly influence your decision to buy it and can even affect how much you trust bouncing on it. If you see a rebounder that looks cheaply made, you wouldn’t be able to trust that it could withstand your weight and you won’t bounce comfortably. On the other hand, some rebounders focus too much on aesthetics and you may find you’re paying a lot for the sleek design and appearance than you’d like, or necessarily need. Consider all options without automatically vetoing a rebounder that may not be as fancy as you would like. Don’t forget that appearances are only skin deep. You may be surprised by how satisfied you are with it that you forget the minor aesthetic flaw. Then again, don’t choose a rebounder that you completely h...

Essentially, it is as easy as starting to bounce daily. Most sources I’ve seen recommend rebounding for 15 minutes or more a day, though this can be broken in to multiple 3-5 minute groups. Though rebounding is a gentle activity, it is best to start with feet on the rebounder and only gentle jumps and work up to jumping with feet leaving the rebounder. Personally, I jump on the rebounder for a few minutes when I wake up, then dry brush my skin (both are good for avoiding cellulite) and then shower. I also jump on the rebounder a few times a day when I remember. I keep it in my bedroom, so I usually remember when I go in my room to fold laundry or change clothes. There are a lot of different models of rebounders to choose from. The more expensive models are supposed to have better springs to reduce the impact to joints, but any small trampoline will work. Here are a few I’ve personally tried: This Needak Rebounder from Tropical Traditions (the one in my room) Th...

I mentioned many of these above, but here are the benefits of rebounding without all the science and sources: Boosts lymphatic drainage and immune function Great for skeletal system and increasing bone mass Helps improve digestion More than twice as effective as running without the extra stress on the ankles and knees Increases endurance on a cellular level by stimulating mitochondrial production (these are responsible for cell energy) Helps improve balance by stimulating the vestibule in the middle ear Helps improve the effects of other exercise- one study found that those who rebounded for 30 seconds between weight lifting sets saw 25% more improvement after 12 weeks than those who did not. Rebounding helps circulate oxygen throughout the body to increase energy. Rebounding in a whole body exercise that improves muscle tone throughout the body. Some sources claim that the unique motion of rebounding can also help support the thyroid and adrenals. Rebounding is fun! R...

Many types of exercise are done to target specific muscles or just to increase cardiovascular function. Rebounding is unique since it uses the forces of acceleration and deceleration and can work on every cell in the body in a unique way.   When you bounce on a rebounder (mini-trampoline), several actions happen: An acceleration action as you bounce upward A split-second weightless pause at the top A deceleration at an increased G-force Impact to the rebounder Repeat The action of rebounding makes use of the increased G-force from gravity based exercises like this and each cell in the body has to respond to the acceleration and deceleration. The up and down motion is beneficial for the lymphatic system since it runs in a vertical direction in the body. Another study showed that the increased G-force helped increase Lymphocyte activity. The lymph system transports immune cells throughout the body and supports immune function. For this reason, rebounding is...
