Rebounding is Great For the Lymphatic System

The human body needs to move. The lymph system bathes every cell, carrying nutrients to the cells and waste products away. Contrary to blood, which is pumped by the heart, the lymph system is totally dependent on physical exercise to move. Without adequate movement, the cells are left stewing in their own waste products and starving for nutrients, a situation which contributes to arthritis, cancer and other degenerative diseases as well as aging. Rebounding exercise is reported to increase lymph flow by 15 to 30 times. The lymph fluid moves through channels called "vessels" that are filled with one way valves, so the lymph always moves in the
same direction. The main lymph vessels run up the legs, up the arms and up the torso. This is why the vertical up and down movement of rebounding is so effective to pump the lymph fluid.

Rebounding For Detoxification and
Immune System Benefits

Want even more reasons to own a Needak Rebounder? The rebounding motion stimulates all internal organs, moves the cerebral-spinal fluid, and is beneficial for the intestines. Many immune cells such as T-lymphocytes and macrophages are self-propelled through amebic action. These cells contain molecules identical to those in muscle tissue. All cells in the body become stronger in response to the increased "G force" during rebounding, and this cellular exercise results in the self-propelled immune cells being up to 5 times more active. These immune cells are responsible for eating viruses, bacteria and even cancer cells, so it is good that they be active. Jumping on a mini-trampoline directly strengthens the immune system. So it's a big deal!

How to Use Your Needak Rebounder

There are two types of bouncing to do on your Rebounder: a gentle bounce and a health bounce. Everyone should start with the gentle bounce which means your feet remain IN CONTACT with the mat while the body moves up and down. The gentle bounce is sufficient to obtain all the benefits of rebounding while gently strengthening the entire body. The health bounce can be done while talking on the phone, listening to podcasts on your ipod or watching TV. It is recommended that you do your rebounding with bare feet so you do not slip.

Adults can start with 5 minutes of rebounding and increase their time as their fitness level improves. Seniors can start with 2 minutes several times per day, with at least 30 minutes between rebounding sessions. It's necessary for older people to start gradually in order to give the connective tissue holding the internal organs in place time to strengthen. This prevents the possibility of "prolapsed organs" - the only contraindication to rebounding reported in the medical literature. Therefore increase your rebounding time gradually.

Inactive seniors find that gently jumping on a rebounder gives them renewed vigor and zest for life. We recommend starting with your stabilizing bar in place for security and to help you stabilize as you bounce. Hyperactive children are reported to calm down after a few days of rebounding. Rebounding is for everyone and people can use the rebound mini-trampoline whenever they have a few minutes during the day.

Rebounding Benefits the Body in Numerous Ways

Rebounding is an exercise that reduces your body fat - which is highly beneficial for diabetes and a host of other diseases, provides an aerobic effect for your heart, and gives your body energy when it's tired. It’s good to jump on your rebounder when you NEED energy, not just when you HAVE energy!

You can easily jump on your rebounder in your living room, your office, or in your backyard. You can fold your rebounder, out it in it’s carrying case and take it with you when you travel so you can rebound in your hotel room. Rebounding is the most convenient form of exercise around.

The Detoxification Effect of Rebounding

The lymphatic system is the metabolic garbage can of the body. It rids you of toxins such as dead and cancerous cells, nitrogenous wastes, fat, infectious viruses, heavy metals, and other assorted junk cast off by the cells. The movement performed in rebounding provides the stimulus for a free-flowing system that drains away these potential poisons.

Rebounding is a lymphatic exercise. As stated earlier, rebounding has the same effect on your body as jumping rope, but without any jarring effect to the ankles, knees, and lower back that comes from hitting the ground.

Arterial blood enters the capillaries in order to supply the cells with fresh fluid containing food and oxygen. Rebounding's bouncing motion effectively moves and recycles the lymph and the entire blood supply through the body many times during the course of the rebounding session.

Rebounding's Stabilizing Effect on the Nervous System

Jumping on a mini-trampoline - along with yoga and deep breathing - is an excellent way to reduce stress. It can put the bouncing person into a trance-like state and provide wonderful relaxation. Jumping for health and fitness not only stabilizes the nervous system during the exercise session, but continues to help maintain a relaxed disposition even after one steps off the trampoline. The result is increased resistance to environmental, physical, and emotional stress. This is kind of thing which helps a person avoid depression.

Rebounding and Children

Children instinctively enjoy jumping around. They take to mini-trampolines like fish to water. One of the best things you can do to help instill the love of exercise in your child is buying a mini-trampoline, which sits around in the house and is always available for family members to use. Jumping on a mini-trampoline is one small step we can take toward solving our national epidemic of diabetes and obesity among children.
