<div> A recent AARP Synthesis of Research in Physical Activities reveals that the age 50 + know what it takes to stay healthy and fit, but following through on a physical activity program is a difficult and daunting task.   The report states the following:</div> <bR> <div> "Physical inactivity and related obesity and overweight are direct contributing forces to the most prevalent and disabling diseases and conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, some kinds of cancer, arthritis and osteoporosis'.</div> <bR> <div> "On the other hand, we know that physical activity can significantly improve health.  Clinical researchers have proven unequivocally that physical activity reduces the risk of dying prematurely from heart disease, and of developing diabetes and colon cancer.  It can help reduce high blood pressure for those who already have it, relieve feelings of depression and anxiety, help control weight, help build and maintain healthy bones, muscles and joints, and help older adults become stronger, more balanced, supple and more able to move without falling".</div> <bR> <div> The concern is not only the shortened life span and increased disability for people, but also the staggering health care costs to the nation.  Medical Science has extended our life span, but without good health and functionality those extended years will bring a diminished

Resistance training is important because it directly stimulates muscle tissue, which is responsible for your metabolism and how many calories you burn daily.  A faster metabolism will burn more fat

NAME="back_pain"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>BACK PAIN</B></div> <bR> <div> Creating strong and stable core muscles will help you look and feel better and keep back pain at bay.  Your body's core includes the back and abdominal muscles, plus all the muscles that attach to your pelvis.  Training these muscles to work together will help you move more efficiently and prevent strain on your spine.  Also, establishing a strong core will stabilize your posture, which helps prevent back pain.  </div> <bR> <div> The key to successful core training is to achieve muscular balance, so that all muscles are strong and flexible and no single muscle is creating extra pull.  "Most people think that strong abs are the key to better posture as well as less back pain", says certified fitness training April Chandler.  "But if your abs are too dominant, they won't allow the deeper muscles to kick in and do their work.  That actually leaves your spine less supported".</div> <bR> <div> More than 40 million persons, 15 percent of the American population, suffers from chronic back pain and more startling is that 50 percent of Americans have at least one day of back pain in year that interferes with their daily activities.  The average back related incapacity is six days.  </div> <bR> <div> Doing modified or complete squats, pull ups and push ups with the Rebound Stability </div> <bR> <div> System provides the vehicle to exercise  all of the bodies core muscles for balance, stability and alignment.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="arthritis"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>ARTHRITIS</B></div> <bR> <div> It is estimated that 37 million Americans have arthritis which is inflammation of a joint.  Most arthritis occurs in the weight bearing joints, such as knees, hips and lower back or in smaller joints that don't get much use as we age.  When joints move through their range of motion there's a sponge like action that pulls and pushes the synovial fluid through the joint cartilage to nourish the joint and remove waste.  Lack of joint activity literally starves the joint and immobility sets in.  That's why its essential to exercise your joints daily.  Our knee joints are the most critical and are vulnerable to lateral (side to side) strain since they carry much of the weight and do most of the work.  So its essential to keep the range of motion exercises in a longitudinal plane and exercise with stability and alignment which is what the Rebound Stability </div> <div> System provides.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="osteoporosis"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>OSTEOPOROSIS</B></div> <bR> <div> Recent newspaper headlines state, "Bone fractures expected to rise dramatically.  One in two women and one in eight men over 50 will have osteoporosis  related fractures from too-thin bones by 2020", the surgeon general warned.  This represents 50 percent of all persons 50 and older in the U.S.  Consider hip fractures.  About 20 percent of seniors who suffer one die within a year, partly because the break often triggers a downward spiral of inactivity, depression and other problems.</div> <bR> <div> Research shows that people need to get more calcium, vitamin D and EXERCISE to avoid crippling osteoporosis.  One of the major types of exercise to prevent osteoporosis is to get sufficient weight bearing and resistive exercise that builds and maintains bone mass and strength.  In weight bearing exercise your muscles work against gravity, the absence of gravity and weightlessness weakens and demineralizes bones.  That's why astronauts in the early days, before this was discovered, came home from an atmosphere of no gravity with loss of bone structure.</div> <bR> <div> We need vertical movement to stress our cells and bone structure.  Kids love to hop and jump instinctively on any surface that offers the slightest bit of altitude.  Recent research states that as crazy as it makes parents, this affinity for BOUNCING in a VERTICAL direction, this hopping and jumping, happens to be the two best ways to help kids stave off osteoporosis.  Researchers have found that the ages between 9 & 12 are critical for building bone and bone bank that can be drawn on later in life when we produce less bone.  For exercise to be effective in building strong bone, the activity has to load the bones enough without serious injury.</div> <bR> <div> Walking, for example results in ground reaction forces that are about equal to a person's weight-not enough to stimulate sufficient bone growth.  Simple hops and side to side jumps, on the other hand result in impact that's 3.8 times a persons weight, which can stimulate bone growth.  Hopping and jumping exercises are perfect for youngsters and persons in good physical condition, but the majority of adults and older persons cannot jump or hop to create sufficient ground reaction forces to stimulate needed bone growth without serious injury.</div> <bR> <div> Rebounding creates an impact of 1 to 3 times a person's body weight, depending upon the height of bounce, which can stimulate bone growth with LOW IMPACT and minimum trauma to the musculoskeletal system.  Dr. Sherry Rogers states in her book, "Detoxify or Die", "Bone has a special piezo-electricity".  In other words, the molecular structure of bone is such that when we put stress on it, as in jumping or running, tiny electric currents are generated which actually help us to continually make new bone.  That's why folks who are inactive or bedridden for long periods of time lose bone and develop OSTEOPOROSIS. </div> <bR> <div> Rebounding with the Rebound Stability System provides  resistance to the total body, not just parts, so all the body's bone structure is stimulated for bone growth and renewal.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="stretching___balance"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>STRETCHING & BALANCE</B></div> <bR> <div> We lose flexibility as we age and our ability to maintain independence through functional mobility is reduced.  Our muscles shorten and get tight from many factors such as poor body mechanics, and misuse and disuse of our muscles and joints which contributes to making us look and feel older then our years</div> <bR> <div> Although flexibility declines with age, studies show that a good regular exercise and stretching program can delay or even reverse this degeneration.  The  reality is that actual age has less to do with AGING than how we live and treat our bodies.</div> <bR> <div> Imbalance in our muscles sets us up for injury.  Flexibility of our muscles and joints dictates our ability to perform our daily activities and avoid injury.  Balance is the key to successful aging.  This includes keeping your center of gravity balanced so you don't fall, and keeping your body balanced by STRENGTHENING weak muscles and STRETCHING tight muscles.</div> <bR> <div> Prevention is always cheaper then treatment.  Proper posture is essential in preventing injury and muscle imbalance. Remember to stretch opposing muscle groups equally in order to keep the body balanced.  Our body is designed with opposing muscles.  Warm up your muscles before stretching.  Your muscles are similar to taffy, they must be warmed up to stretch.  </div> <bR> <div> Research has shown that everything from arthritis to multiple sclerosis can benefit from a gentle STRETCHING program.  This is exactly what the Rebound Stability System enables the user to accomplish with its three for one  benefits of aerobics, strength training and stretching.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="interval_exercise_equals_more_efficiency"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>INTERVAL EXERCISE EQUALS MORE EFFICIENCY</B></div> <bR> <div> Canadian researchers at Laval University in Quebec report that intervals of high intensity physical activity are necessary to burn body fat.  Their findings suggest that spurts of intense exercise are nearly 900 percent more effective then the slow and steady approach to reducing fat.  Robert K. Cooper, PhD in his book, "Flip the Switch", recommends the following.  </div> <bR> <div> Warm up to half speed for 3 minutes.  After that, begin a sequence where you go all out for 5 seconds, then slow to your warm up speed for 10 seconds.  Repeat this fast-slow cycle for as many times as you can, for up to 10 minutes if possible, finish with a cool down phase for 3 minutes.  This short cycle of fast-slow exercise produces better results of fat reduction then longer cycles that can vary from several seconds to minutes.  </div> <bR> <div> NOTE: This short 5-10 second cycle of spurts or bursts fits well into a beginning, sedentary or senior exercise program.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="rebounding_physiology"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>REBOUNDING PHYSIOLOGY</B></div> <bR> <div> Why is Rebounding Considered "The Best Total Exercise System Known to Man?</div> <bR> <div> Most types of exercise and movement is done on the horizontal plane.  You oppose gravity with just ONE FORCE. Rebounding uses vertical movement to capture the three forces of acceleration, decelereation and gravity all on the same plane in unison. </div> <bR> <div> We have 75 trillion cells in our body.  Rebounding causes a pulsing action that puts pressure on each cell.  This pulsing actioin strenghens the cells, provides them with additional oxygen & nutrients while simultaneously removing toxins and waste from each cell.</div> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="how_does_rebounding_enhance_the_lymph"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>HOW DOES REBOUNDING ENHANCE THE LYMPH SYSTEM?</B></div> <bR> <div> The lymph system is the body's front line defense against infection and disease and is an integral part of our body's waste disposal system.  The lymph system has no pump similar to the arterial blood supply system.  It must depend on muscle and body movement to keep the lymph moving through one way valves.</div> <bR> <div> Rebounding increases lymph flow 3-14 times, depending upon the degree of bounce, which flushes the lymphatic system to remove toxic waste and trapped blood proteins around the cells that cause pain and swelling (edema).    WOW:::     WHAT A NATURAL ANTIBIOTIC</div> <bR> <div> NASA studies on rebound exercise declare it to be 68 % more efficient than jogging.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="how_does_rebounding_compare_to_other"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>HOW DOES REBOUNDING COMPARE TO OTHER TYPES OF EXERCISE?</B></div> <bR> <div> Most other exercise systems use "SPOT OR DESIGNER" exercise equipment with emphasis on  specific body areas which strengthens muscles in that area.  The harm in spot muscle workouts is that it can put the body's muscle structure out of balance.  Muscles shorten and tighten with inactivity and age.  Strength taining lengthens muscles, but uneven spot reduction exercises can pull the body out of alignment and cause muscle weakness and misalignment of body parts that can create pain and injury that affects how the entire body feels and functions.</div> <bR> <div> They are not a total funtional fitness system with whole body movements like rebounding with the Rebound Stability System which exercises and strengths all of the body's muscles through compound exercises of multiple muscle groups rather than focusing on ONE.</div> <bR> <div> EXAMPLE: Walking is generally considered one of the most common and easiest forms of exercise.  </div> <bR> <div> Lets compare rebounding to the 10,000 step walking program thats highly recommended by most health professionals.</div> <bR> <div> Studies show that rebounding useS calories 11 times faster than walking, 5 times faster than swiming and 3 times faster then running, because all the body's cells are using energy simultaneously.</div> <bR> <div> In rebounding a person does 100 vertical movements per minute for 10 minutes which equals 1000 movements.  If rebounding burns calories 11 time faster than walking we multiple 1000 times 11 which equals 11,000 movements in comparison to the 10,000 step program.</div> <bR> <div> Walking 10,000 steps takes about l hour compared to 11,000 movements in ten minutes of rebounding.</div> <bR> <div> CONCLUSION: Although walking is good, it can't compare with rebounding with the Rebound Stability System which has several added benefits; low impact, reduced exercise time with better results and the addition of total body strength training which builds total body muscle which also stimulates bone growth to prevent osteoporosis.  WOW: Thats almost unbelieveable.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="what_age_group_can_benefit_from_using"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>WHAT AGE GROUP CAN BENEFIT FROM USING THE REBOUND STABILITY SYSTEM?</B></div> <bR> <div> Although the rebound stability system was deigned for the 50+ age group,  persons all all ages can benefit by rebounding with the Rebound Stability System.  </div> <bR> <div> Statistics show that three fourths of our population falls into the category of being overweight, obese or persons with health problems.  </div> <bR> <div> These persons are not gymnasts and the majoriety of them can't use traditional exercise eauipment.</div> <bR> <div> These persons need a safe, low impact, funtional fitness exercise system that they can use at home that enables them to live independently with mobility and dignity in their lives.</div> <bR> <div>       </div> <div>  </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
