Rebounding: Health and Fitness Benefits
As quoted by NASA, rebounding is "the most efficient and effective exercise yet devised by man". It is an excellent, non-impact, aerobic excercise gained by bouncing on a mini-trampoline.
The benefits of rebounding are astonishing and have been promoted significantly within the last decade.
It is a unique excercise in which a weightless state is achieved at the top of each jump and then land with twice the force of gravity on each bounce. This shift in gravity benefits every muscle and cell of the body and provides huge benefits to the lymph system.
On studying the benefits of rebounding, NASA found that a 150-pound individual spending one-hour on a rebounder will burn more calories than the same person jogging for an hour!
Benefits of Rebounding
68% more efficient than jogging(N.A.S.A., Journal of Applied Physiology 49(5): 881-887)
Fights fatigue by strengthening the glandular system to increase the capabilities of the thyroid gland, the pituitary gland and the adrenals.
Rebounding has a natural analgesic effect on the body which helps to relieve joints and pain in the neck, back, and head through the increase of circulation and oxygen flow.
Conditions and stregthens the heart which allows the resting heart to beat less often. This in turn sends a stronger surge of blood through the veins.
It provides an extremely effective 'no impact' excercise - especially imporant for those with less mobility or undergoing rehabilitation.
Rebounding has been found to lower elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
It increases metabolism which assists the body in burning more calories.
One of the primary causes of aging is the declining performance of the heart and circulatory system. Rebounding is incredibly effective in increasing the performance of both the heart and the circulatory system and thus slows the aging process.
Rebounding specifically stimulates the flow of lymph fluid through the lymphatic system. The change in gravitational forces allows for greater blood flow and this increases the amount of waste and toxins flushed from the body. Rebounding can increase lymph flow by up to 15%!
Rebounding has also been found to enhance digestion, relaxation, sleep patterns, nerve impulses and muscle fiber.
Blood pressure can be significantly reduced by rebounding. This is achieved by boosting the muscle tone of the middle arterial muscles and the improvements to the circulatory system.
Rebounding seems too good to be true, however, this is definitely not a gimmick! There is no way that NASA would put their name to it if they did not think that it was effective!!!
Personally, discovering rebounding has helped me no end. It takes away any excuse for not exercising every single day. I love running, but there are some days when I just cannot make it into my running shoes and out of the door - I am sure that I am not alone either!
Rebounding is also excellent for the 'day after' or on your day off when you are aching and recovering as it gently stretches the muscles and warms them, but with no impact.
This is a truly unique form of exercise and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Everyone who has tried rebounding loves it, from kids to grandparents and from the sedentary to the super-active!

Tips to Help You Use Less Fat in Your Everyday Cooking!
By Susan Carey
Just as you don’t have to give up sweetness in your foods, you don’t have to give up fats altogether. It is important, however, that you limit your intake. Cutting back begins in the kitchen, and continues at the table.
Remember that eating too much fat may have a direct effect on insulin activity in your body, causing an increase in your blood glucose level.
- Select lean cuts of meat and remove skin and fatty deposits from poultry.
- Use the absolute minimum oil or fat in cooking. If possible, don't use any added fat at all.
- When you must use fat, use a brush to spread a thin layer of fat onto your pan, or use a cooking spray.
- Grill or roast meat on a rack to allow the fat to drip away.
- For soups and casseroles, drop meat into boiling water to seal it rather than browning it in fat or oil.
- Spread butter or margarine very thinly on bread and biscuits, or leave it off. Use ricotta, cottage cheese, a little avocado or a scrape of low-fat cream cheese as a spread instead.
- Use low fat dairy products in preference to the regular varieties.
- Use 'no-oil', 'low-oil' or 'low joule' (low-calorie) salad dressing instead of oily ones or mayonnaise. Better still, use lemon juice or vinegar with herbs to add zest to your salads.
- Learn to use fresh or dried herbs and spices to add flavor to food instead of butter or oil.
- Avoid adding oil or fat to vegetables during or after preparation. For instance, when you mash potato or other vegetables, don't add butter, margarine or cream. Use low-fat milk. Wrap your vegetables in foil with herbs, or try dry baking them in the oven in their own skins.
- If you like sour cream as a vegetable dressing, use low-fat leben or cottage cheese or low-fat natural yoghurt instead.
