REBOUNDING – Not Just for Basketball

When walking, seven times the weight of the body is impacted upon the skeletal system. When running, its fifteen times the weight of the body! This shock often leads to various injuries: strains, sprains, shin splints, pulled muscles and tendons, leaving many to forego even beginning a cardiovascular exercise program.

Well, no more excuses because there is a no-impact exercise alternative— rebounding. Rebounding is done on what may look like a small trampoline. All exercise involves the fight against gravity, but rebound exercise exerts three forces on the body: acceleration, deceleration, and gravity. This causes the lymph system, a major waste disposal system of the body that is stimulated only by movement, to move three times as fast, thus promoting more rapid detoxification. Plus, neither rain, sleet, or snow can keep the rebounder from use!

When purchasing a rebounder, keep in mind that not all rebounders are beneficial, even ones with a high price tag. Ones that are beneficial have springs designed to keep tension focused on the outside edges of the mat rather than forcing tension across the mat, which causes impact.
