Urban Rebounder

JB Berns is a martial arts expert. When he injured his knee and he couldn’t do regular training, the only way for him was keeping fit with exercises that wouldn’t hurt the knee joint. That’s why he chose a trampoline. Unlike walking or running rebounding doesn’t produce huge stress impact or trauma to the joints while moving. The rebounding exercises helped JB Berns to return faster back to the gym. This experience was the trigger of his passion for fitness and helping others. JB Berns doesn’t see exercise as a burden but fun, that’s right, the same fun we used to have as kids when we were running a lot and not knowing that we were actually working out.

The easiness on the joints is one of the most important points of rebounding. This is why older people prefer this type of exercise. Most of them are acute arthritis sufferers. The stiffness prevents them from moving around although they should do just the opposite; they should exercise a lot, without the intensity of the aerobics, but exercise.

One of the reasons that in arthritis the exercise is essential is that the movement of the body helps with lymphatic flow. Lymph accumulates in the affected joints. In order to help with the inflammation the lymph comes to the inflamed joint to carry away the bad stuff. As the sufferer can’t move due to pain, lymph gets accumulated in the joints because, unlike blood that is pushed around the body by heart, the lymph needs movement of the person to help it flow.

When we talk about lymph flow, we can recognize another health issue: lymphedema. For people suffering from lymphedema the lymph flow has nearly stopped causing quite big swellings. The most common swellings are in women who have undergone breast cancer operation.

The uniqueness of rebounding for lymphedema syndrome is in the nature of rebounding itself. Swinging on the trampoline subjects every part, every cell of the body to the powerful g-forces. That means you go from being weightless when you on top, to feeling pulling of ca. 1.5 g at the bottom; that is 50% normal gravitational weight. This naturally causes big stir up in your body, also in lymph system causing it to move, which can reduce swelling significantly.

The g-forces during exercises can also help your back pain but you shouldn’t overdo them. You need doing gentle bouncing. That will stimulate the fluid around your vertebrae. In effect the calcification between your vertebrae will slow down, which will lead to better nourishment of cartilage. Additionally, the muscular tensions, that quite often are the reason behind pinched nerves and congestion, will ease.

What else are the g-forces good during rebounding? They are causing the muscular contractions. Also respiratory pressure increases, which ends with deep breathing. This leads to better circulation of oxygen on the cellular level. You are basically able to think clearer as your brain gets enough oxygen. And, of course, the muscles in the calf, thigh and abdominal areas are stimulated.

Rebounding is great for losing weight, too. With the obesity on the rise and everybody talking about getting rid of that unwanted fat, mini trampoline provides excellent total workout opportunity.
