Trampoline Exercise

A 20 minute trampoline session is equivalent to a 20 minute run, it strengthens every muscle in your body, particularly your back and tummy muscles. (Not your leg muscles as you would expect).

It is very gentle, low impact on knees and joints, and is suitable for overweight people. The larger kids in my class often excel in trampoline compared to other sports and it is a real confidence booster.

The only activity that can burn calories faster is ‘fast skipping” which the boxers do to shed a pound before being weighed. Trampoline is a close second.

If you have a heart condition, I can strongly recommend you go very slowly on trampoline exercise, as it works your heart very hard. Keep each session short to begin with and build up to 30 minute sessions. To Buy Trampolines, swings slides and outdoor play equipment in the UK check out Hedstrom's website www.Hedstrom.co.uk
    

LYMPH SYSTEM

Trampoline exercise helps the lymphatic system to eliminate poisons and toxins from your body.  Trampoline exercise assists this process through increasing lymphatic drainage. Trampoline exercise is recommended as the best exercise or activity to assist your lymphatic system in eliminating poisons and toxins from your body.

HEART

Trampoline exercise strengthens your heart and lungs and helps prevent heart disease.
The heart is strengthened by increasing the pulse rate and stressing every heart cell which makes your heart much stronger. Trampoline exercise also strengthens the legs. Your legs act as an auxiliary pump for the cardio vascular system. Strong legs take a lot of strain off the heart.

CELL STRENGTH

Trampoline exercise strengthens each and every muscle, organ, tissue and cell in your entire body. Simultaneously, every cell in your body gets exercise, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Every cell!! Most other exercise programs are designed to strengthen only voluntary muscles or isolated muscle groups. Trampoline exercise strengthens your whole body inside and out, including cells in the liver, kidneys, bladder, heart and lungs. Externally your skin will smooth, tighten and you will look more youthful. If you rebound, lines and wrinkles will diminish; you will get a natural face lift. This is a guarantee.

BONE STRENGTH

Trampoline exercise will even make your bones stronger. When astronauts were subjected to weightlessness for weeks at a time, they lost both muscle strength and bone density. Without gravitational pull, muscles and bones wither. They quickly become weaker and less dense. Conversely, bone density and muscle strength increase significantly when subjected to increased gravitational pull. Because the body interprets the acceleration and deceleration of bouncing on a rebounder as an increase in gravitational pull, muscles and bones gain strength, far beyond what is considered normal. Highly recommended for osteoporosis. It should be noted that being inactive or sedentary (laying and sitting all day) has the same effect on the body as weightlessness.

Your whole body gets over 5000 impulses, stresses or muscle contractions per hour. Every time you land on a rebounder your body or cells want to collapse upon impact. In order not to collapse or crumple upon impact your cells must resist. This resistance is what builds strength, cellular strength. On a rebounder you bounce about 90 to 120 times per minute or over (90 bounces x 60 minutes = 5400) 5000 bounces, jumps, impulses, stresses, muscle contractions, or resistances per hour. Remember this, each and every cell in the entire body is simultaneously getting stronger. Again, all areas of your body, your face, legs, arms, calf's, waist, back, shoulders, chest, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, bladder and all internal organs are getting stronger and healthier together. You're exercising your entire body as a complete unit, this is the way exercise should be, you're not just exercising isolated muscle groups. At the same time your lymphatic system is working to remove poisons and toxins, giving you a double benefit.

WHAT N.A.S.A. has to say about the Trampoline Exercise

THE NASA REPORT

N.A.S.A. has been using the trampoline to train their astronauts for years. A N.A.S.A study called rebounding a “miracle exercise”. N.A.S.A. found that rebounding was 68% more efficient than treadmills or other forms of exercise. N.A.S.A. also found rebounding to be helpful in rebuilding the bone mass and muscle mass that astronauts lose in the weightlessness of space.
