An Exercise Solution for You
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008Over 30 years ago the co-author of my first book, Eat, Drink & Be Ready, told me about a new concept in exercise called Rebounding. I tried it and was hooked and have been selling rebound exercisers as part of my clinical practice since the beginning. I think this solves most exercise problems like:
- Winter weather — who wants to go outside?
- Jogging on hard surfaces damages the feet, knees, back, etc. (I never had back problems until I was exercising by running on sidewalks when we lived in Bozeman, Montana in 1971-73.)
- Walkiing or running outdoors may not be safe (especially for women)
- Health clubs are expensive and time-consuming
- Most exercise isn’t fun — it’s boring!
Rebound exercise solves these problems. You’re in out of the weather, you’re safe at home, you’re minimzing structural trauma, and you can do it simultaneously with another activity, using your time twice. Rebound exercise has perhaps the most powerful effect of any exercise on the lymphatic system. In addition to this it powerfully stimulates the immune system by temporarily increasing the white blood cell count. To read my complete Better Health Update #63 on Rebound Exercise, click here.
WHAT IS IT? WHAT DO YOU DO?
For several years I have used the Needak Rebounder and sold this at Pacific Health Center. It looks like a mini-trampoline 40 inches in diameter and sitting 10 inches off the floor. It folds in half for easy storage or transportation. You can run in place, bounce and do various other exercises on it. It features a “soft bounch” so as to minimize structural stress. It features a spring attachment method that minimizes breakage (unlike my first rebounder that I constantly broke springs with). It’s a high quality, American made product that cheap imitations from China can’t hold a candle to. To get the Needak Rebounder, just copy and paste the URL below:
