Exercise benefits from a mini trampoline?

tone

I'm considering buying a mini exercise trampoline. What are the benefits fitness wise?

Answer
The benefits of using a mini trampoline as part of a healthy lifestyle include:

- 68% more efficient than jogging (NASA, Journal of Applied Physiology 49(5): 881-887)
- Fights fatigue by strengthening the glandular system to increase the capabilities of the thyroid gland, the pituitary gland and the adrenals.

- Rebounding has a natural analgesic effect on the body which helps to relieve joints and pain in the neck, back, and head through the increase of circulation and oxygen flow.

- Conditions and strengthens the heart which allows the resting heart to beat less often. This in turn sends a stronger surge of blood through the veins.

- It provides an extremely effective 'no impact' exercise - especially important for those with less mobility or undergoing rehabilitation.

- Rebounding has been found to lower elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

- It increases metabolism which assists the body in burning more calories.

- One of the primary causes of aging is the declining performance of the heart and circulatory system. Rebounding is incredibly effective in increasing the performance of both the heart and the circulatory system and thus slows the aging process.

- Rebounding specifically stimulates the flow of lymph fluid through the lymphatic system. The change in gravitational forces allows for greater blood flow and this increases the amount of waste and toxins flushed from the body. Rebounding can increase lymph flow by up to 15%!

- Rebounding has also been found to enhance digestion, relaxation, sleep patterns, nerve impulses and muscle fiber.

- Blood pressure can be significantly reduced by rebounding. This is achieved by boosting the muscle tone of the middle arterial muscles and the improvements to the circulatory system.

Who Can Use a Mini Trampoline / Rebounder?
Rebounders are suitable for everyone - in fact, this is one of the reasons why rebounders are such sound investments! The whole family is able to benefit from rebounding, from toddlers to grandparents. Many rebounders come with stabilisers which can help when you first start rebounding or if you are rebounding as part of a course of physiotherapy.

Starting Out on a Mini Trampoline / Rebounder
It is really easy to start rebounding on a mini trampoline. No particular specific instructions or courses are required and most rebounders come with ample guidance and often supporting exercise videos.

As a rough guide, start by testing the water with small steps and bounces. Once you feel more comfortable you can enable your body to bounce higher and higher away from the mat. If you are beginning a new fitness regime with a rebounder it is important not to overdo it on your first few sessions. Start with light rebounding for 4-5 minutes and slowly build up your time.

Does anyone know what this water toy is called?

Anna

It's like a big balloon that floats on top of the water, and you jump from a raised platform onto it. There is also someone else on the toy, who in turn gets launched into the air and falls into the water. It looks like so much fun! But I can't figure out where to get it.

How to lose weight in two weeks?

water trampoline video image

Nancy

I'm a 15 year old girl and I'm really ashamed of my weight. I'm 189 pounds and 5 feet 4 1/4 inches.

I have lost 23 pounds in a year and a half, but I'm going to an amusement park in two weeks with my friend and he wants to go into the water park and I hate my body still! I don't eat that healthy. I'm told I don't eat often enough either. I eat every 8-15 hours.

I'm lactose intolerant so no dairy for me :/ I'm also allergic to egg whites and beef and bananas. Healthy food and I'm allergic to it. Ironic is it not? I've asked my doctor to help me substitute those foods with others or maybe give me some tips on how to work out, but she says she can't.

Can I please have some advice? I'm trying my hardest to loose weight, but I've been overweight my whole life and have no clue how to manage a healthy weight ):
Also, problem areas are my lower tummy, my butt, and my hips definitely! My legs aren't as big of a problem, but they need work as well s: so some workouts for those areas would be lovely.

Answer
I'll try to give a list of how to lose weight and sorry if you are allergic to anything said! Just never give up on yourself :)

13 Ways to lose weight.

1. Switch from drinking soda to drinking water and juice.
2. Don't eat a lot of junk foods like chips and stay away from sugary foods like chocolate.
3. Try to eat breakfast, small meals in the afternoon (optional) and your main meal. Eating breakfast every morning starts your metabolism system and make it where you can lose weight quickly.
4. Do some cardio which also hikes up your metabolism and keep you fit as well as keeping your
heart and lungs healthy. Cardio can be walking, jogging, running, biking, hiking, lifting weights, dancing, jump roping, jumping on a trampoline, horse riding, playing sports and games, and many others.
Tip:Between walking, jogging, and running. You lose more 1.running 2.jogging 3.running
5. Get plenty of sleep.
6. Dine at a table with your family helps you not over-eat or under-eat.
7. Keep a food journal and keep track of what you eat.
8. Motivate yourself and get support from others.
9. The more you move the more you will lose.
10. Avoid hunger. Eat regular meals and snacks.
11. Eat fruits for snacks. Apples, oranges, berries, grapes, cherries, peach, pears.
12. Pace, don't race. Force yourself to eat more slowly, and savor each bite.
13. Hydrate before meals. Drink a cup or two of water.



Now for the tummy, butt, and hips workouts. Here's two exercises that will work what you need.

1. Cardio in general helps with getting rid of stomach fat.-go biking, walking, dancing, etc.
Here is a dancing video on youtube that I do for 20 minutes every day to keep me in shape.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dILstcZ78nc

2. To get rid of butt fat, hip fat, and leg fat you can do squats or go biking. You can pick either of these two exercises for this one because they work them all.
- Squats: Stand with feet hip-width apart and squat, keeping back straight, abs in and knees behind your toes. Let your butt lightly touch chair and squeeze butt to stand up.
- Biking: Just get on a bike and have fun. Also great for your heart.



Anyways I hoped I helped!! Took me awhile but I'm done :) Just keep trying and motivating yourself and If you keep it up you should have the body you always wanted.

What are some good ways to lose weight fast?

Nicky D

Like exercises, I like to dance, run, and jump on my trampoline. I don't want to buy videos or stuff like that... Can any give me some suggestions? And healthy suggestions about food instead of junk food.

Answer
Okay, it's really great that you like to run, because that is one of the best forms of exercise you can do because it is cardio and:

1) burns off your stored fat
2) "reveals" your muscles by losing this fat.
3) as well as defines, tones, and strengthens muscles.

So, I would suggest that you run as much/can a day. If that doesn't seem to work out too well, try going to the gym and getting on the elliptical. It is a little less strenuous on your knees and hips, but still really great!

If you like jumping on your trampoline, you probably wouldn't mind jump roping which is also very beneficiail to your health and losing weight.

As far as food goes, I would cut down on fat intake, increase your protein intake (especially if you are going to be doing cardio exercise and building you muscles; protein is vital to build muscles) and drink lots of water. TONS of water. And, when you have the urge to indulge in bad foods, or snack, just drink some water or low calories drinks to help fill your stomach and you will find that it does wonders. Also, try cutting your calorie intake by about 500 calories a day.

If you do these things, you will (depending on your weight) lose 1-3-pounds a week. This is a healthy way to lose the weight, and sorry to say, but there is really no EASY way to lose weight fast.

Lots of work involved. Good luck and I hope I helped.

What exercises can me and my sister do?

super cool

Im really unfit i never exercise so me and my sister made up our own little exercise group at home. What can we do? We have scooters, a tennis ball with 2 tennis rackets and a trampoline.

Answer
Right! Your trampoline is your cardio-vascular exercise. Playing tennis is also good cardio-vascular exercise. The trampoline takes a lot of energy just to bounce. You will also need some resistance exercise and stretches.

Start off with a warm-up routine. If you have a place outside where you can move, or a downstairs room where you won't get shouted at for making loud noises in an upstairs room, then do running on the spot for 2 minutes. Do some bending exercises to get your body warmed up.

Next, do some resistance exercises, these will tone your muscles to make them look trimmer and also strengthen them. You can lift water bottles or canned goods. Try 10 bicep curls.

Now do some squats.

Next do your cardio-vascular exercise. Play tennis for 20 minutes or trampoline for 20 minutes. If you can't manage that amount of time, then do the amount of time you can and work up. You need to build up to a sweat for about 20 minutes but do NOT get breathless. You should JUST be able to speak, but not to sing opera. If you are too breathless to talk - slow down. If you could belt out your favourite song with no problem - speed up.

Now do a cool down with stretches. Maybe use the scooters just to lower your heart rate gradually. Use the stretches to ensure you don't get sore muscles.

You can find some videos of exercises you can do in the resource. The videos include squats and lunges, both of which are useful exercises and can be done at home with no equipment.

Any ideas of how to lose weight in a month?

Justasimpl

I gave birth to my baby and i am still so overweight. My weight is 195 and im 5'7. I really want to lose at least 30 pounds in a months. So any ideas? I know i have to exercise and drink lots of water but any diets or teas to lose weight?

Answer
Combining Aerobic Exercise With Toning Exercises Along With Eating Healthy Will Give You Quick Results:

1. AEROBIC EXERCISE
Aerobic/Cardio Exercise will get rid of FAT located ANYWHERE on the body! Burn calories/fat by doing aerobic exercise at least 30 to 45 minutes per day, 4 or 5 days per week. Each person is different! You may need MORE or LESS exercise depending on your age, body weight, and calorie/food intake. Do a Warm Up and Stretches BEFORE exercising to prevent injury! Do a Cool Down and Stretches AFTER exercising to prevent body stiffness! You must continue to SHOCK YOUR BODY to keep losing weight! If you do the SAME exercise routine for months, your body will get use to that routine and not work as hard to burn calories/fat, therefore you will not see results! Easy INDOOR aerboic exercise includes dancing to your favorite music (dance hard to break a sweat), step aerobics using a step bench, rebound aerobics using a mini trampoline, or doing aerobic exercise videos that can be bought at Amazon website or Collage Video website.

2. TONE YOUR WHOLE BODY OR YOUR ABS
Callanetics is deep muscle exercises using small and gentle motions that will QUICKLY tighten hips, butt, thighs, flatten the belly, lift the bust, firm the underarms, and tone the entire body. Go to Amazaon website and read the reviews for the exercise DVD or VHS tape: Callanetics 10 Years Younger In 10 Hours by Callan Pinckney. Over 100 people gave this video 5 stars! Also, this 1986 video is still being manufactured because of the high positive reviews! Per other reviews, the Callanetics 10 Years Younger In 10 Hours (dvd) includes the Quick Callanetics Stomach (dvd) routine on it. Google search Callenetics Management Company to find Callan Pinckney official website. TONING EXERCISES or Weight/Resistance/Strength Training helps define, tone, and strengthen your muscles, plus it INCREASES YOUR METABOLISM TO BURN MORE CALORIES/FAT. Don't do toning exercises on consecutive days! Your muscles need at least 1 day of rest to repair themselves!

3. EAT MORE HEALTHY FOODS AND LIMIT JUNK FOOD
There is NO NEED TO DO A SPECIAL DIET, just simply eat more healthy foods/drink water and limit junk food! When it comes to eating unhealthy/junk foods, learn MODERATION and PORTION CONTROL! Limit your intake (not completely stop eating, which is unreasonable) of the following things: greasy/oily/fried foods, high fat dairy foods, animal meat that has untrimmed fat (eat LEAN meat only), desserts, chips, candy, soda pop, punch, coffee, tea, alcohol, frozen meals, fast food restaurants, and other foods/liquids that are high in sugar, salt, sodium, fat, calories. Read the nutrition label on each product before buying! Also, eating some fat is necessary for good health! Good fats are the unsaturated fats and bad fats are the saturated fats.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
1.HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS IS A VERY SLOW PROCESS! You should only lose a maximum of 2 pounds per week! One pound equals 3500 calories. Losing more than 2 pounds a week is dangerous: You will be REDUCING your MINIMUM nutritional requirements for good health!
