Rebound Exercise is the therapeutic movement on the mini-trampoline.; it is a safe, effective style of aerobics that provides a surprisingly challenging cardiovascular workout without excess stress on the heart, muscles and joints so is suitable for all fitness levels and ages. Because it moves all parts of the body at once it is also a cellular exercise. When we think about the bodily functions, we know that the heart is the pump for the blood, but the lymphatic system (white blood system) does not have a pump. It is only moved by physical activities. And rebounding is the perfect activity, because it gets everything moving at once. As a cellular exercise rebounding also helps to remove toxins and to deliver and absorb nutrients at the cellular level where it can be converted into energy. There are three natural forces: gravity, acceleration and deceleration, rebounding is superior to others because it uses these. In rebounding you line up acceleration and deceleration with gravity creating G-Force. The increase in G-Force is what gives you all the benefits of rebounding. By creating G-Force, at the top of each bounce you experience weightlessness and your body feels an increase in pressure on deceleration (at the bottom of the bounce) and your exercising body weight becomes heavier - your weight doubles at the bottom of the bounce or to look at it another way, an half hour workout on a rebounder is worth an hour long regular workout.

NASA research proves that rebounding is 68% more effective than regular exercise such as jogging. Round exercise is accomplished by jumping only a few inches off the surface of the rebounder, it is low impact and absorbs almost all of the shock of impact versus doing the same exercises on a hardwood floor. Because of the rebound effect this type of exercise is not only 68% more efficient but also provides 87% shock-less bouncing to the knees and ankles. This reduces injury and joint damage. Research into rebounding has proven the many health benefits from this form of low impact exercise, including burning of calories, stimulating lymphatic drainage, improving the immune system, improving posture and reducing body fat. If you use your mini trampoline or rebounder on a regular basis you will also improve your everyday balance and coordination. Rebound Exercise also circulates the lymphatic fluids and cleanses the lymph system. It works with and against the gravitation pressure. It also increases the white blood count, thus strengthens the immune system.

With rebounding we can combine two important aspects of exercise: strengthening & aerobic: Strength training helps provide the cells with oxygen and nutrients which are the essentials of life. Rebounding can help keep your muscles strong & flexible and can strengthen bones too. By exercising daily in this way, it is possible to improve physical appearance, athletic power & metabolic function as well as to achieve weight loss (as resistance exercise increases metabolism & tones/slims the body). Strength training not only helps with weight loss, it also increases endorphins which help fight depression, anxiety and stress. An increased metabolism can keep your energy levels high while increased blood flow keeps your skin & hair healthy. Strength training also increases bone mineral density and has been shown to improve balance.

The Aerobic effect (breathing) is another important aspect of exercise. One of the greatest benefits of more vigorous exercise is the increase of oxygen which helps us burn more calories, destroys toxins, gets rid of bacteria & fungus and stimulates the cardiovascular system. Oxygen is essential to many chemical processes in the body & the absence of oxygen breeds disease. This is because breathing carries oxygen into the cells and takes carbon dioxide out of the body. With the carbon dioxide other toxins are removed from the body and fat is also removed.

Another benefit of rebounding is homeostasis which is the general balance of all systems of the body. Sickness is linked to blockages in the body. Rebound Exercise can help to remove the blockages, return blood flow and circulation back into the affected areas.

Rebounding can be done anywhere that you can comfortably fit the trampoline and have enough headroom to bounce safely. For this reason it is suitable for office or home-bound people who do not have the time or ability to exercise outside of work/home.

Obviously the more frequently you rebound and the longer your workout is the more beneficial it is. Anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 is a good workout time. You have to find your own routine and do it every day or at least 3-4 times a week. To avoid getting bored, or to suit your aims and fitness level, you can do a variety of bounces on your rebounder:

Health Bounce - This move bounces you gently without leaving the mat. By just continuing the up and down movement for 2 minutes you can increase your lymph flow up to 14 times.
Strength Bounce - For this bounce you should spread you legs shoulder-wide and bounce up and down leaving the mat.
Aerobic Bounces - For this bounce you must increase your heart rate and maintain that increase for 20 minutes for maximum benefit. This is accomplished by vigorous movements on the on the rebounder including jogging, sprinting, twisting, shuffles, kicking or curling your legs, jumping jacks etc. Including some movement of lifting of the arms above the heart will increase the heart rate and the oxygen flow.

We can send up to 3 airboards to addresses in the UK & Ireland for the same P&P rate (€10.50 Ireland, €15 UK), if you are interested in purchasing more than one airboard, please conact us to arraange a buy it now sale for you. (Unfortunately, due to postage costs we cannot offer the same deal on P&P to addresses outside the UK & Ireland, but you can figure out shipping rates for multiple ariboard shipments by visiting - http://postage.anpost.ie/  - we use registered parcel post and each airboard weighs 5.5KG inc. packaging. We can use standard parcel post  if requested, but in this case the shipment will not be insured.)

If you still aren't convinced, read what these customers had to say about their airboards:

• "My wife and I are very pleased with the Airboard. It has all the capabilities of a 36" trampoline but is much easier to store away & the video is comprehensive."

• "I have managed to give my airboard a try..................LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!    As I suffer from a bad back and bad knee I struggle to do aerobics on the ground no matter what trainers i wear - the airboard however you can even do without trainers...........its quiet, can be stored away easily so I dont have the usual big pieces of fitness equipment which end up as glorified and very expensive clothes hangers :-)     Thanks for your help and for this great product."
