Jump 5 Minutes A Day For Summer Fitness

With the long days of (hot) summer how do you keep fit? I work outside everyday with the dogs but still find myself spending too much time under the comfort of the AC. I found a quick way to work out everyday. It's the Needak Rebounder - they're like cool trampolines.

They're a great alternative to the outdoors when it's not pleasant, and for those who have tender knees. And for when you need a 2-5 minute workout.

Some people can only handle 15 seconds of rebounding initially. Others can rebound well for 15 minutes. Listen to your body and don't over-do it.

What I like best about the rebounder is that you can get a big fat benefit in 5 minutes. Literally. Takes much more energy that you'd think by just looking at it. Try it and see for yourself.

Benefits of fitness with rebounders:

1. provides an increased G-force (gravitational load), which strengthens the musculoskeletal systems.
2. protects the joints from the chronic fatigue and impact delivered by exercising on hard surfaces.
3. helps manage body composition and improves muscle-to-fat ratio.
4. circulates more oxygen to the tissues.
5. increases capacity for respiration.
6. lessens the time blood pressure remains abnormal after severe activity.
7. improves resting metabolic rate-more calories are burned for hours after exercise.
8. causes muscles to work in moving fluids through the body to lighten the heart's load.
9. decreases the volume of blood pooling in the veins of the cardiovascular system preventing chronic edema
10. strengthens the heart and other muscles in the body so that they work more efficiently.
11. lowers circulating cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
12. promotes tissue repair.
13. offers relief from neck and back pains, headaches and other pain caused by lack of exercise.
14. enhances digestion and elimination processes.
15. allows for deeper and easier relaxation and sleep.
16. curtails fatigue and menstrual discomfort for women.
17. Rebounding tends to slow down atrophy in the aging process.
