Exercise is a big part of weight loss, but not as big as many want you to believe. The most important thing is that you find something you love. If it becomes stressful just to get to the gym, and you do not enjoy what you are doing, I say find something else. We are all so busy, and I realize it is hard to fit everything in. I suggest having a small trampoline at home. You can use it any time of the day for just a few minutes at a time. It is the best workout you will ever have.

Rebounding as it is called, (the motion of bouncing on a mini trampoline) is an exercise that reduces body fat, strengthens muscles, increases agility, provides an effective aerobic workout and rejuvenates the body. It will firm your legs, thighs, abdomen, arms and hips, increase your balance and put you in an overall state of health and fitness.

Anybody can do this exercise. Young and old, even the sick. You don’t need to jump per se, to get the benefits of rebounding. Your feet don’t even have to leave the mat. Just the up and down motion you get with a gentle bounce is enough to stimulate your immune and cardiovascular systems and improve your health. Even better, you can exercise for hours without getting tired, which makes it a great way to burn off calories and lose weight.

As we age, our bodies generally become more toxic due to the pollutants in today’s world. When you rebound, you are helping your cells metabolize, cleanse and renew and your helping your lymph system to pump and drain out the body’s waste. The lymphatic system rids you of toxins such as dead and cancerous cells, nitrogenous wastes, infectious viruses, heavy metals and other toxins carried into the body. The rebounding movement pumps the lymphatic system which drains away these potential poisons. There are only 3 ways to activate the flow of the lymph: exercise, massage and gravitational pressure. Rebounding does all three.

People who jump on a mini-trampoline a few times a day for a minimum of 10 minutes each time find they’re able to work longer, sleep better, and feel less tense. The effects of Rebounding are both physical and psychological. The action of bouncing up and down against gravity, without the trauma to the musculoskeletal system, is one of the most beneficial aerobic exercises ever developed.
