"With Rebound Exercise, you also oppose gravity, but you also utilize two other natural dynamic forces found within our environment. Two forces which, for the most part, have been overlooked by other exercise methods. These forces are acceleration and deceleration. When your body stops its downward movement at the bottom of the bounce, the force of deceleration and gravity come into play. When the body begins its upward motion, acceleration is added to the other two forces. The physical human body doesn’t recognize these three different forces but simply accept the combination of the three forces as an increase of the gravitational pull of the earth. Logically, we know that increasing gravity is impossible, but the cells of the body don’t. Because all of the cells of the body have the capability to adjust to their environment, all of the cells of your body begin to adjust by becoming individually and collectively stronger.
Old fashioned exercise programs teach how you can strengthen the muscles of the body. Rebounding is an advanced exercise in that it is a cellular exercise. All cells of the body will become stronger. This includes all muscles, bones, skin, all connective tissues, all vital organs, muscles of digestion and elimination. Even the cells of the eyes are strengthened by rebounding.”
You must be thinking: "That's quite the statement, Al." Even I, an open book to exercise oddities, question his final statement: "Even the cells of the eyes are strengthened by rebounding." Sure, all that jumping around is great exercise, but for your eyes? This is one alternative exercise that needs some scientific evidence to supports the claims of the creator.
After reading many studies about the benefits Rebounding Exercise, I can safely say Rebounding is one of the most beneficial exercise options being practiced today. Some supporters go as far to say: it is the only exercise you will ever need, but these enthusiastic bloggers are about as reliable as Al Carter. But after further reading, the benefits of rebounding are hard to dismiss. Obviously all the lateral movement is terrific for your muscles and cardiovascular system, so it is the other benefits that truly intrigued me.
The most well-documented evidence supporting Rebounding's internal benefits concerns the lymphatic system. For those of you who are unaware of your body's mechanics: the lymph system is much like the cardiovascular system, but it serves as your body's metabolic disposal -- which is directly related to the immune system. While your cardiovascular system has a heart to pump blood, the lymphatic system relies purely on your movement to circulate its fluid. Therefore, the constant bouncing motion during Rebounding helps to stimulate the lymph fluid's circulation, thus cleansing and strengthening your body.
I first heard about this practice from my sister Emily. Her great condition supports the claims of Rebounding enthusiasts like Al, because Rebounding is her sole source of physical activity. Living in a one-room apartment in Washington, D.C., she has little room for an elliptical or treadmill, but her mini-trampoline fits in perfectly.
