How Urban Rebounding delivers health and fitness benefits:

Urban Rebounding is performed entirely on a unique, high quality, spring-enhanced mini-trampoline with a non-slip surface (the urban rebounder) The exercise is accomplished by jumping only a few inches off the surface of the rebounder and absorbs 87% of the shock of impact versus doing the same exercises on a hardwood floor, reducing incidences of injury and joint damage.  Research by NASA proves that rebounding is 68% more effective than jogging. Rebounding programme is a safe, effective style of aerobics that provides a surprisingly challenging cardiovascular workout without excess stress on the muscles and joints so is suitable for all fitness levels and ages. Each individual is in control of the intensity of their workout by controlling how hard they push in to the mat surface.

There are three natural forces: gravity, acceleration and deceleration.  The purpose of rebounding is to line up acceleration and deceleration with gravity creating G-Force.  The increase in G-Force is what gives you all the benefits of rebounding.  Every cell in the body feels this increase in G-force and the cells in the body respond to being placed in this environment causing them to adapt and become stronger.

Scientifically validated research into rebounding has proven the many health benefits from this form of exercise, including; burning 1000’s of calories, stimulating lymphatic drainage, improving the immune system, improving balance and coordination, strengthening the cardio-vascular system and reducing body fat.

URBAN REBOUNDING HEALTH ADVANTAGES

The following list is an inclusive list of medical benefits you can expect to receive from participating in Urban Rebounding classes on a consistent basis.  This list was compiled by Dr Morton Walker and published in the Townsend Letter for Doctors 1995.  Rebound Exercise will:

• Increase the capacity for respiration
• Circulate more oxygen to tissues in the body
• Establish a better equilibrium between the oxygen required by the tissue, and the oxygen made available
• Cause muscles to perform work in moving fluids through the body to lighten the heart load
• Tend to reduce the height to which the arterial pressure rises during exertion
• Lessen the time during which blood pressure remains abnormal after severe activity
• Hold off the incidence of cardi-vascular disease
• Increase the functional activity of the red bone marrow in the production of red blood cells
• Aid lymphatic circulation as well as the flow in the veins of the circulatory system
• Encourage collateral circulation
• Strengthen the heart and other muscles in the body so that they can work more efficiently
• Allow the resting heart to beat less often
• Lower elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels
• Stimulate the metabolism
• Promote body growth and repair
• Tone up the glandular system, especially the thyroid to increase its output
