I just heard that rebounding (up and down motion on a mini-trampoline) is beneficial for moving stuff through the lymph vessels and detoxing. I used to do rebounding aerobic classes a few years ago and remember it to be very strenuous, but apparently you can reap the benefits without getting your heels off the trampoline.
I was wondering is any of you do this as part of detoxing, and if so, would you recommend it? Thanks! -s.

Never tried it, but sound like fun and good exercise. Definitely nothing to lose by doing it.

Yes..you can Gooble the term 'health bounce' in rebounding, and it explains even the gentle bouncing, feet stay on the cloth.. moves lymph well.

Hi!
In my expeerience it is VERY beneficial!! It's also amazing how much strength and endurance you can gain by not even having your feet leave the mat. It's counter intuitive but it works magic!!
And it's enjoyable taboot!
Excelent book...."The Miracles of Rebound Exercise" by Albert E Carter.....I don't know if it's still available, published by Snohomish Pub Co, Inc in Snohomish...1979.

I have also used a rebounder for years in the AM. It's great for those of us with bad knees and osteoporosis as there is no hard pounce.
Great also if you only have a little time as you can rebound for only ten minutes at a time and reap the benefits, or if you don't feel like taking a walk.
Also, benficial in getting the early-morning kinks out!
I didn't know it was good for detoxing, however...guess that's an added plus! And, to think, they cost only around $20 at Wal-Mart! It's a real bargain...

I just did a search for this, and am pulling it back up front. I'd like to buy a rebounder. I see you can get one from Wal-Mart for $20, and then they range up over $100. Do the cheaper versions last? Are they safe?
Thanks!

I don't know how good the ones at Walmart are, but I bought one at Big 5 for $50 that is good quality.
Earthgirl, you may not be able to do much at first, but you might be suprised at how quickly you will get stronger and be able to do more and more. Just start off with baby steps. Do only 5 minutes of gentle bouncing. Maybe in a week you will be able to bounce a ittle higher so that your feet leave the canvas. This will move things better in your lymph system than just doing a rocking motion.

Just wondering. I have POTS Syndrome and my heart goes pretty fast. My blood pressure does stay at a good level. My question is would this be safe for me to try. I really want to get some kind of work out but can't go outside and walk. It is too cold and the sunlight bothers me. This also sounds fun. Michelle
