Knee exercises are vital, not only to our knees, but to our overall health as well. The knees are the largest joints in the body. They support our weight and play a key role in our mobility. Physical movements such as walking, running, jumping, dancing, bending, pivoting and playing sports all require good knees.
Knee exercises keep our knees and the muscles that support them strong and flexible. The best exercises for the knees – as well as for the rest of our body - are the low impact, weight-bearing ones.
An easy knee exercise you can start with is the “low jog”. Simply lift your feet 2 or 3 inches off the mat as you jog. As you progress, you can jog faster and lift your feet higher. This movement builds up your weak knees instead of tearing them down.
A more advanced knee exercise is the “squat”. Stand with your feet on either side of the mat. Sit low like you would on a horse, back over your heels, and then lift your toes slightly, with your feet flat on the mat. In this position, simply shift your weight from foot to foot.
An even more advanced knee exercise is the “side to side jump”. Stand on one side of the mat with your feet together. Jump back and forth from one side of the mat to the other side. As you advance with this routine, you can sit lower and lower as you jump.
David Hall’s mini trampoline, the Cellerciser®, is an excellent way to get into these knee exercises. Its patented tapered springs and its space age Permatron® mat aren’t jarring to the skeletal system, making it the best rebounder available in the market.
A good rule of thumb is to try rebounding every single day. If you do not have 10 or 15 minutes, 5 minutes is certainly better than none at all – and it can make all the difference in how you feel! Consistency is the key to success in any exercise program, so be sure to work daily on your knee exercises.

ABDOMINAL MACHINES
Abdominal machines come in many forms, shapes and sizes. The marketplace has much to offer in this area of fitness. While some machines are effective, others are most certainly not.
Abdominal machines have become part of a superfluous collection for a great number of people. It has become increasingly common to see someone owning far too many of these machines through sheer trial and error.
What if I told you that there was an abdominal machine that could put all your other machines to shame? That this piece of equipment would not only help you with your abs, but would take care of the health and fitness of your entire body? That this would be the last piece of exercise equipment that you would ever have to buy?
I have good news for you: I discovered one such machine at a health seminar I attended in Los Angeles some ten months ago! It’s David Hall’s Cellerciser®, the top-of-the-line mini trampoline or rebounder in the market today.
As I promised yesterday, I will talk of abdominal machines and exercises today. The first and the simplest exercise is the common jog. Even just raising your legs in a jogging motion engages your abdominal muscles and strengthens them.
To take this exercise further, you can try lifting your knees higher as you jog. This makes the abs work even harder as the movement applies weight to your every muscle at over 100 times a minute.
An advanced exercise that is good for the abs is the “front kick”. This is where you jump slowly on the abdominal machine and kick one foot at a time straight out in front of you.
Once you get a good feel of the exercise, you can kick faster and higher. There’s no need to worry about losing your balance, as the Cellerciser® is equipped with a balance bar for support.
An excellent, though more challenging, exercise on this abdominal machine is the “V-sit”. You sit on the mat, lift your legs straight up in front, raise your arms out to the sides, and then rock back and forth from one hip to the other.
This requires tightening and control of your core muscles, but it will definitely bring you the results you want.
As an exercise tool, the Cellerciser® can get you those six-pack abs that you have always wanted. After all, why settle for less when you can have the best in abdominal machines?

LOWER BACK EXERCISES
Lower back exercises, when performed on a mini-trampoline or a rebounder, are an excellent way to keep fit. They loosen tight muscles, stretch them and strengthen them in the process.
Lower back exercises are best done on David Hall’s Cellerciser®, the top-of-the-line rebounder in the market today. It is absolutely safe, thanks to the equipment’s high quality springs and space age Permatron® mat.
Because of its excellent quality, an ever-growing number of medical doctors, chiropractors and health practitioners recommend the Cellerciser® to their clients.
There are a number of lower back exercises that one can do on the rebounder. One of them is the back kick, wherein one bounces while alternately kicking his or her legs towards the back. This is done 30 to 40 times.
Another lower back exercise is the “twist”. One places one’s feet and knees together while jumping on the rebound unit and twisting from side to side.
The movement loosens the muscles in the back and provides for some lateral movement of the vertebrae. As the muscles and vertebrae loosen, changes in pressure help increase circulation to the spinal disks. This particular exercise is also performed 30 to 40 times.
The alternate knee lift is one of my favorites among the lower back exercises. In it, the person lies on his or her back on the rebound unit and extends his or her legs. One knee is pulled up over the chest with hands clasped around the knee.
The person holds this position for 10 seconds before lowering the leg. It is then repeated with the other knee. The person then alternates knees and repeats this lower back exercise 10 times. Effects include near immediate relief from tightness in the lower back.
The key to strengthening your lower back is to strengthen your abdominal muscles. When the muscles in your abdomen are weak, your lower back muscles attempt to compensate. The problem is that the latter will eventually begin to hurt due to the strain!
The above exercises help tone your abs and make them do their part in keeping your entire skeletal system in line. This takes a huge amount of pressure off your lower back and even helps in supporting it. Keep in mind, though, that the quality of one’s lower back exercises is only as good as the quality of one’s equipment.
Well, that’s it for today, but look out for my article tomorrow. In it, I will cover abdominal exercises you can do on the Cellerciser® in conjunction with the aforementioned lower back exercises.

HEART FITNESS
Heart fitness is an important ingredient for a long and productive life. Diet and exercise are its essential components. I will speak about the latter in today’s article.
Heart fitness is a concern of the great majority of people, be they male or female, young or old. It’s only fitting, since cardiovascular disease ranks as one of the top killers in the world today, with physical inactivity being a major risk factor.
The American Heart Association recommends that all healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 65 should engage in moderate intensity exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, 5 times each week.
Rebounding is one of the best forms of exercise for heart conditioning. Fortunately, David Hall’s premium rebound equipment, the Cellerciser®, is just about the best tool there is for starting you down the road to heart fitness. It is safe, effective and cost-efficient.
The Cellerciser® is safe because it is gentler on the body than walking or running on hard surfaces. Its patented tapered barrel springs and its space age Permatron® mat allow for smooth acceleration and deceleration with each jump.
There is no jarring or traumatic effect to the ankles, the knees, the lower back or to any other part of the body. The risk of injury associated with other forms of exercise is negligible with the Cellerciser®. With no risk of injury, the person needs only to concentrate on achieving heart fitness.
The machine is also effective because one gets fantastic results from rebounding in relation to the amount of time one spends on it. This makes it the ideal exercise equipment of choice. In just 10 minutes, the heart gets an excellent workout.
Doctors say that the cardiovascular benefits of exercise come from your heart pumping faster than normal for an extended period of time. This is easy to do on the Cellerciser®. All you have to do is to just get up and bounce. It’s heart fitness made simple
Finally, the Cellerciser® is cost-efficient because it is a one-time expense that can benefit every single member of your family. It totally redefines exercise, making it the last piece of exercise equipment that you will ever need to buy!
So get on a Cellerciser® today and enjoy a workout like you’ve never experienced before! Remember, rebounding is about overall fitness, not just about heart fitness.

LOSE WEIGHT EXERCISES
Lose weight exercises – the phrase may sound funny, but the real need for them is not. Many times before, I have been asked what the best way to lose weight is. People want to lose weight but they want a hassle-free and time-efficient solution for doing so.
Lose weight exercises that conform to these seemingly unreasonable conditions do exist. These are exercises one can do on a mini-trampoline right in the confines of one’s own home or office.
The Cellerciser®, David Hall’s premium quality mini-trampoline or rebounder, is the answer. He has a 10-minute daily program that will exercise every single part of one’s body – abs, waist, hips, thighs, arms, legs, ankles, calves, knees – all in one go. Rebounding reduces fat deposits and builds and tones muscles at the same time.
What’s more, these lose weight exercises can be designed according to the body parts you want to work on. For example, there is the front kick – kicking one foot in front of you, and then the other as you bounce – which works your abdominal muscles, strengthening them and firming your tummy.
Then there is the back kick – kicking one foot behind you, and then the other as you bounce – which loosens and stretches those tight back muscles and at the same time strengthens the lower back.
Next is the side kick – alternately kicking the right foot to your right, the left foot to your left as you bounce – which works on your love handles, slimming your waist and your hips in the process.
There are a number of lose weight exercises for your arms too. You can combine arm movement with bouncing to trim the baggy flesh under your upper arms. One way to do this is by holding your arms to the sides and rotating them in small circles at shoulder level.
Other ways involve doing the jump rope motion with your arms, or extending your arms over your head and down to shoulder height.
The list of possible exercises goes on and on. Even simply bouncing gently up and down or doing a light jog for 10 minutes will do a wonderful job towards looking good and feeling fit! Keeping healthy need not be a burden again with these simple and effective lose weight exercises.

TRAMPOLINE EXERCISE
Trampoline exercise is one of the best forms of exercise. It is your complete workout in just 10 minutes a day.
Trampoline exercise can offer you a better way to lose weight, as we all know how frustrating dieting and exercising can be. I discovered David Hall’s Cellerciser® at a health conference in the U.S. 10 months ago and my life has not been the same since.
I am amazed at the benefits that trampoline exercise has brought me … energy levels that keep me going all day long … a nice flat tummy (finally!) … a 24-inch waistline (down from 27-28 inches) … a strong lower back and pain-free knees … slimmer hips and firmer buttocks.
But that’s not all. Trampoline exercise has improved my bodily functions tremendously. I enjoy improved sleep … better digestion and elimination … a robust immune system that has kept cold, cough and flu away.
My trampoline exercise routine takes all of 10 minutes a day, in the comfort of my bedroom! And the great news for everyone is that with trampoline exercise you can reap benefits without having to change your eating habits. In fact, for some of you that do not want to lose any more weight (like me), it may even be necessary to increase your food intake. Isn’t that absolutely awesome?
Trampoline exercise is isotonic, isometric, calisthenic and aerobic exercises all rolled into one. For close to ten years I went to the gym three times a week for 40 minutes of cardio exercises and an hour of weight training. Since I purchased David Hall’s Cellerciser®, I have done away with going to the gym altogether. This has not only saved me time and money, but has also put me in the pink of health.
As a result of my great experience with trampoline exercise and the Cellerciser® in particular, I asked David Hall for dealership in the Philippines. My success with the product in this market has earned me exclusive Philippine distributorship.
The Cellerciser® is not your ordinary rebounder or mini-trampoline, mind you. Visit www.cellercise.com for more information on this unique product and the wonders of trampoline exercise.
