Jumping for Joy

11/20/2013

0 Comments

 
One of my favorite ways to exercise is to jump on my rebounder! While it feels like I’m just playing around and having fun, I’m actually doing some great things for my body! I keep my rebounder set up in my house because it doesn’t take up much space (it’s only about 3 ½ feet in diameter) and in addition to working out, it’s great for small “stress breaks”.

There are several reasons to jump for joy. Each time you jump up and down, your body accelerates and decelerates in both directions. The gravitational force on your body is 2-3 times gravity, depending on if you are gently bouncing or jumping. Every cell and muscle in your body is impacted by the continuous changes in gravity due to the bouncing. The bouncing stimulates your lymphatic system, which benefits your immune system and helps your body detoxify and eliminate cellular waste. Bouncing also builds bone density, which strengthens your bones.

Rebounding can provide a rigorous workout or just be relaxing! You can set up a rebounder just about anywhere because it’s small and light. Plus, some rebounders can fold into a carrying case, making it convenient to travel with them so that you don’t have to miss your workouts.

Best of all, rebounding is fun! So try it. I dare you!
