I am often asked, “Can Rebound For Wellness Programmes help to strengthen bones?” I have to be honest and say that I have no scientific proof that my specific Rebound For Wellness Programmes can strengthen bones. But I do have a lot of information and research that tells me there is a very strong probability that your bone strength will improve as you rebound. Let me share some of this information with you.

Albert E. Carter, was the initial creator of rebounding – which is the act of bounding down on a mini-trampoline (as opposed to jumping up on a big trampoline). Albert and all his family rebounded and trampolines daily.

He knew the benefits because he could clearly see that his children had amazing body strength and physical endurance. They were also very positive, able to problem solve easily and were physically healthy. Himself and his wife could also admit that they too were mentally and physically very healthy and had great fitness levels.

As moved around America demonstrating rebounding and recounting some of the benefits, he began to get a lot of feedback from people who were taking on his rebounding way. This wasn’t enough for Carter, he wanted to know why people were having such great results.

Bone Strength And The Cells

In chapter 10 of his book: Rebound Exercise, Albert Carter explains how bone density is a function of the cells. He explains that ‘bone is composed of a tough organic matrix that is greatly strengthened by deposits of calcium salts.

The average compact bone contains about 30% matrix (mostly made up of collagen) and 70 % bone salts (mostly calcium). For your bones to remain strong they need both collagen and calcium salts working together. Weight bearing exercise helps collagen and calcium to work together.

The Importance of Weight Bearing Exercise For Bone Strength

Weight bearing exercise is very important when it comes to helping the cells that make up your bones to work most effectively. This weight bearing exercise keeps your bones regenerating (collagen and bone salts) and this is what will help them to remain strong.

When you rebound you increase your G-force (gravity force). Increasing gravity force is what makes rebounding a weight bearing exercise. Even the gentle rebounding that Rebound For Wellness offers, will increase your Gravity Force.

Rebounding Makes You Heavier – But Lighter!

Gravity Force increasing as you rebound means that you become heavier every time you bound down on the mini-rebounder. You don’t feel heavier because of the elasticity in the rebounder allows you to use your own weight to push back up again even though you are at least 2-3 times heavier with each bounding motion.

Consistent bounding for 15 – 20 minutes offers your bones what they need to work better together. This weight increase even with gentle rebounding is what you get through participating in the Basic Rebound For Wellness Programme. In fact the positive results you will get from even gentle rebounding on your mini-trampoline will be well worth the effort.

Rebound For Wellness Programmes Will Get You Into Exercising

Many women (and men) have come to Rebound For Wellness lacking confidence when it comes to exercise. They were always too busy to put themselves first when it came to getting exercise. I don’t know about you, but I was never told of the importance of daily weight bearing motion when I was growing up.

Many people also find that most exercise programmes out there are too strenuous for them and take up too much time, energy and money.

Why I Created Rebound For Wellness

I created Rebound For Wellness Programmes to help women who have never really exercised or have always found exercise too hard. As a Kinesiologist, I hear many stories of people who heard about this magical form of exercise and how it helps with Lymphatic Drainage, weight gain and Bone Density issues. They google rebounding on Youtube and follow the first programme they come across, only to develop lower back pain, strained muscles in the groin area and abdomen area, or a strong flu like experience – resulting in them never rebounding again.

The “I Can Do It” Approach

When done properly, Rebounding is the most easy and effective exercise you can do. Because of all the benefits, with easy effort, I feel it’s a must for women over 40, 50, 60 and even 70. Rebound For Wellness Programmes are designed to get you into rebounding slowly and then to keep you rebounding for the rest of your active life.

If you start off rebounding at 15 minutes daily, without having gently worked your way to 15 minutes you can cause yourself injury and huge stress.

We Need Daily Weight Bearing Motion / Exercise

Do you struggle to get into exercising? You might be the person who can put their hand up and say, I have never been able to stick to an exercise programme in my life. Exercise may never have been a priority for you. Your life may well have been too busy for exercise. When you apply this daily weight bearing pressure – through gentle daily rebounding, you help your bones to generate what they need to stay healthy and well.

Around 1 in 3 women develop an osteoporosis related issue after 50. That is a staggering number. There are many things you can be doing to help you have healthier bones through menopause and beyond.

Sugar and Stress Negatively Impact Your Bones

Sugar and Stress pull Calcium and other salts from Your Bones. It is important to note that rebounding may not be as effective for those who are very low in collagen or calcium salts. I strongly recommend you attend a Systematic Kinesiologist who will offer you personalised advice on what nutritional supports you might also need.

A good start would be to reduce and eliminate processed sugar from your diet. Eat plenty of vegetables and good sources proteins, drink plenty of water and perhaps take some collagen building nutrients.

Rebound For Wellness Will Get You Exercising

To Conclude. You need daily weight bearing motion and gentle Rebounding will give you this. If you have not been exercising much and even if you have, I strongly recommend you follow the Basic Rebound For Wellness programme because it will help you to get the most from your rebounder in a very easy and gentle way.

While my programmes are not made in Hollywood, they do offer you a step by step easy to do programme with lots of tips and tricks thrown in each week.

What Is Stopping You?

What is stopping you from getting into the easiest and most effective form of exercise? If it is getting a rebounder, there are many options available to you ranging in price and quality. I recommend you get a bungee sprung rebounder because you have a greater absorption of impact and you get more benefits from gentler rebounding.
