GRAVITY BOUNCE
Quoted by NASA as “the most efficient and effective exercise yet devised by man”
It’s fun, it’s easy, safe and more importantly very effective!
20 minutes of rebounding = 1 hour running for cardiovascular workout
Rebounding offers a high-intensity workout that's incredibly good for strengthening muscles and weight loss, whilst unlike many other aerobic activities, rebounding places no strain on the joints of your body.
It stimulates your cardiovascular system but in some ways it’s also similar to a
sports massage in that it affects the lymphatic system, more colloquially known as the metabolic rubbish bin of the body.
The human body needs to move.
The lymph system bathes every cell, carrying nutrients to the cell and waste products away.
Contrary to blood which is pumped by the heart, the lymph 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 ageing.
Vigorous exercise such as rebounding is reported to increase lymph flow by 15 to 30 times.
Bouncing creates a 'pump’ effect which moves and recycles the lymph and the entire blood supply through the circulatory system many times during the course of the rebounding session, providing a free-flowing system that drains away the potential poisons – toxins such as dead and cancerous cells, nitrogenous wastes, fat, infections, viruses, heavy metals, and other assorted junk cast off by the cells – from the body.
​
​
Could Rebounding get any better?
​
Well, yes actually: experts believe that it could help you lose weight, too!
Many believe an excessive build-up of toxins can prohibit weight loss, because the body doesn’t want to let those toxins go and move freely around the body but because of the lymphatic drainage it stimulates, Rebounding helps allow the toxins to leave the body.
The lymph doesn’t have its own pump, unlike the cardiovascular system,
so it must be pumped deliberately.
So why is Rebounding good for me?
Rebounding is an exercise that reduces your body fat, firms your legs, thighs, abdomen, arms, and hips, it increases your agility, whilst improving your sense of balance,
detoxifying the body and is anti ageing!
Rebounding strengthens your muscles over all, provides an aerobic effect for your heart, rejuvenates your body when it's tired, and generally puts you in a
happy state of health and fitness & detoxification.
