Bottom line, if you are over 40 you need Effective Exercise for menopause support. Whether you are peri-menopausal, menopausal or post-menopausal, you need to be exercising – now, more than ever. As a Kinesiologist I attend a lot of trainings on natural energy healing for wellness. After these events I always feel this urgency to tell women about the need for finding natural supports to help with the journey before, during and after the menopause.

Key Menopause Supports

A healthy diet that is low on certain oils/fats and sugar is key. Water drinking is another important aspect of wellness over 45. Stress management is vital in helping you cope at this time. But one of the most important things you need to be getting is daily, weight bearing motion (exercise).

Rebounding Is My Go To Menopause Exercise

The form of exercise that I find to be most effective is rebounding. You possibly have read pervious posts about rebounding and even watched some of my rebounding videos over on my Facebook Page or Youtube Channel.

Why Do I Find Rebounding So Effective

I could write a book about all the great benefits of rebounding, even with just 15 – 20 minutes – every day.

One of the most insightful pieces of research on rebounding came from NASA. They found that Rebounding is 68% more effective than jogging on a treadmill. In 1979 NASA was trying to prevent muscle wastage in astronauts while in space. They discovered that Rebounding was the best form of exercise for providing the most benefits.

Rebounding for 20 minutes is like being out on the road for 60 minutes and I don’t generally tend to break a sweat when I am rebounding. Less time on the rebounder brings you more benefits.

More Benefits of Rebounding

Rebounding works every single cell in your body. As you mature and journey through the menopause, your cells soften, leading to sagging skin. Some women take to weights and aggressive workouts in gyms. But what if I were to tell you that these programmes could be putting your already overstressed body under even more stress and you actually don’t need to be in the gym.

With gentle rebounding, because every cell is getting that gentle level of positive stress, you will notice that your skin starts to tighten up that little bit. Your muscles start to tone, your balance gets better, your energy grows and you begin to feel really well in yourself. This isn’t just what I have experienced. Many women who use the Rebound For Wellness Programmes all notice great results. You can check out some testimonials here.

Why You Need Effective Exercise For Menopause Support

You have this physical body that needs to work at its best every second of everyday. Think of a car, as it works toxic fumes get emitted. Well it is the same with your body. Toxins are a consequence of your body doing its natural and normal jobs and they need to be pushed out of your body.

You have this great lymphatic system and many organs that help to clear away toxins from the body. The lymphatic system needs exercise for it to work properly. Without exercise toxins end up staying in your body and causing all sorts of problems. All those stress hormones, lactic acid and many other toxins need to be pushed out of the body.

Not forgetting bone mineral density!

It is estimated that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 has a bone mineral related issue. This can be prevented or the damage reduced with good diet, healthy nutrition and effective exercise. Bones suffer the result of a lack of certain nutrients while going through the menopause with the greatest issues being seen post menopause. The key is to feed yourself up on good nutrition and effective exercise in your 40’s.

Walking can help, so too can jogging, swimming, dancing, cycling, yoga and tai chi, but none of these forms of exercising do as much as 15-20 minutes on a rebounder. Even gentle rebounding pumps that lymphatic system. Rebounding clears the lactic acid that forms when exercising so there is very little recovery time needed after you exercise.

Begin To Rebound For Just 1 Minute

It is always best to begin rebounding with just 1 minute a day and then work up from there. By starting your rebounding really slowly and building up your rebounding time – minute by minute, you won’t need to worry about any recovery time. You will have pretty much no level of injury and you won’t over tax your mind, body or soul. In fact all of a sudden you will be at 15-20 minutes and feeling much better and you will wonder how you got there.

Rebound For Wellness – Easy Effective Exercise For Menopause Support

That is what Rebound For Wellness programmes do, they get you into rebounding at a very easy level. One that you definitely can do. Then the purpose of the programmes are to keep you rebounding for the rest of your active life.

Bottom Line

If you are over 40, over 50 … you need to be exercising for your wellness. Rebounding brings you 68% more results than running and walking and you have little impact to the joints. So why don’t you spring into effective exercise that will support you through your menopause and get you much fitter than you have ever been even though you are only rebounding for up to 20 minutes daily.
