BLOOD PRESSURE EXERCISE

Blood pressure exercise is a good approach to managing high blood pressure rates. Many studies have been conducted involving different age groups and a variety of exercises. All of these have shown that regular physical activity lowers blood pressure for those suffering from hypertension.

Blood pressure exercise can lower systolic pressure to the same degree that treatment with a typical blood pressure-lowering medication does. What’s more, reducing blood pressure to this degree can also reduce stroke and heart attack rates by 25 percent!

Nearly all exercises lower blood pressure. Endurance exercises such as walking, jogging, swimming or biking are most helpful in controlling blood pressure. However, selecting an exercise that is enjoyable and convenient greatly improves your chances of success.

Rebounding is one such blood pressure exercise.

You can jog on your rebounder or mini trampoline, dance on it, skip rope on it – just have fun with it! You can do it in your bedroom or in your office. It does not require special clothing or a personal trainer. More importantly, you can do it in just 10 minutes a day, at any time of the day.

Blood pressure exercise on a rebounder or mini trampoline reduces blood pressure in different ways. First, it does this by reducing body fat, which in turn brings down blood pressure.

Second, rebounding lowers your blood pressure by making you sweat. This helps your body rid itself of water and salt, thereby mimicking the effects of diuretics.

Third, rebounding exercise affects two major hormones in our body, adrenaline and insulin. As a result, this blood pressure exercise lowers both your cholesterol levels and your blood sugar levels.

A rebounding program on a quality unit like David Hall’s Cellerciser® is safer than most exercise programs. It’s patented triple tiered springs and its space age Permatron® mat will protect you from injury.

The balance bar that goes with it prevents accidents from happening and ensures a fun and convenient blood pressure exercise routine.

HOME SENIOR CARE

Home senior care includes physical rehabilitation as part and parcel of its program. Studies show that it is safe for most adults over 70 years old to exercise.

Home senior care is even recommended for patients with chronic illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and arthritis. Many of their physical ailments can be addressed and treated with exercise.

Home senior care should, of course, be undertaken with the guidance and supervision of a doctor. If you are not sure if the particular exercise is safe for you, or if you are currently inactive, it always helps to ask your doctor.

There are four essential forms of exercise that those in a home senior care program can get into: aerobics, isometrics, isotonic and calisthenics.

Aerobic exercise is exercise that improves the body’s oxygen consumption. It strengthens the cardiovascular, pulmonary, lymphatic, muscular and metabolic systems.

Isometric exercise involves the contraction of a muscle without joint movement. This is excellent for strength training and rehabilitation of those receiving home senior care.

Isotonic exercise, on the other hand, involves contraction of a muscle to produce a range of movements. This form of exercise strengthens the skeletal muscles.

Calisthenic exercise may consist of a variety of simple movements for those under home senior care. These are usually performed without weights. They increase body strength and flexibility using the weight of one's own body for resistance. Repeated motions of calisthenics done over an extended period of time are great for building muscle endurance.

Rebounding is probably the safest and most convenient exercise that the elderly or disabled can incorporate into their home senior care program. It includes all the exercise forms described above. It is the one exercise that can be done with a single fitness machine in just 10 minutes a day.

Furthermore, rebounding enables the body to rid itself of bacteria, virus and other harmful wastes by stimulating the cells and increasing the circulation of body fluids to them.

If you are not already physically active under home senior care, then begin slowly. Should a 10-minute session be too tiring for you, you can always split your routine into two segments of 5 minutes each; one in the morning and another one in the evening.

The baby bounce or the light jog is a good starting point for a home senior care exercise program. Starting slowly makes it less likely that you will injure yourself. It also helps prevent soreness from "overdoing" it.

The saying "no pain, no gain" is not true for older or elderly adults. You do not have to perform high intensity exercise to get most health benefits.

The key to exercising regularly is to have a positive attitude towards it. Pick an activity you can have fun with in your home senior care regimen and focus on making the experience as pleasant as possible.

For example, my 89-year old mother has been using David Hall’s Cellerciser® for 9 months now. It took her only 3 days to recover from a recent bout with pneumonia. Instead of taking her illness lying down, she bounced! Today, she continues to be mobile, healthy and spirited.

Research has conclusively demonstrated that physical activity is linked to increased longevity. It is for this reason that exercise is an integral part of home senior care.

VARICOSE TREATMENT

Varicose treatment is very important to our health. Since a number of doctors refer to our legs as our “secondary heart,” it then follows that having good circulation in our legs is crucial to having good circulation in the rest of our bodies.

Varicose treatment need not be confined to invasive options such as laser surgery, surgical vein stripping, microsclerotherapy injections and the like. Besides carrying health risks and side effects of their own, invasive procedures do not guarantee against the recurrence of maladies.

An important aspect of varicose treatment is for patients to take steps that they can do themselves. Home-based therapies may include exercise or any activity that gets the legs moving, such as walking, swimming or dancing. These forms of movement will stimulate good blood flow in the veins and the arteries.

As simplistic as it may sound, good blood flow can be achieved on a mini trampoline or rebounder. The fact is that more and more physicians recommend these forms of exercise equipment for varicose treatment.

The-up-and-down movement on a rebounder massages the body’s cells. This simple action removes trapped blood proteins that contribute to varicose veins, phlebitis and other blood flow problems. The motion breaks up blockages and opens blood vessels anew, thereby improving circulation.

Given its effectiveness in varicose treatment, it is no surprise that David Hall’s Cellerciser® is the rebounder of choice. It is vastly superior to any rebounding device available in the market today.

The Cellerciser® is not only effective in varicose treatment, it is also safe to use. Other cheaper and more typical rebounders can cause nerve damage, knee problems and lower back injuries.

That will never happen with the Cellerciser®, as its triple tiered springs and space age Permatron® mat effectively prevent these mishaps from taking place.

The Cellercise® workout may very well be the best form of exercise for varicose treatment.

SPORTS WORKOUT

Sports workout is an important factor for enjoying and excelling in any kind of sport. Training is essential, regardless of whether it’s in gymnastics, golf, swimming, soccer, track and field or tennis.

Sports workout builds stamina, endurance, power, speed, balance, coordination and flexibility – all key ingredients for success in any sport, fun event or competition.

I have found rebounding to be an excellent sports workout routine. Instead of hitting a bucket of balls at the driving range, I just use my Cellerciser® to warm up before a round of golf.

I start with one minute of the gentle bounce to limber up my cold muscles. Then I do the light jog, simultaneously stretching my shoulders, my arms, my wrists and my fingers. I continue my sports workout with a few kicks to the front, to the back and to the sides.

I then follow that up with knee bends and knee stretches. To get my energy levels going, I do some jumping jacks. I take a few practice swings on the rebounder to get into the feel of a full shoulder turn in my golf swing.

Finally, I end my sports workout by cooling down with another minute of the gentle bounce. When that’s done, I am ready to go off to the golf course and hit my first drive. It’s my idea of a perfect warm-up – the entire process takes only 5 minutes of my time.

It’s no wonder that a great number of athletic trainers in the U.S. use David Hall’s Cellerciser®. It is the top of the line rebounder in the market, for both sports conditioning and rehabilitation.

The fact that a sports workout on the Cellerciser® has improved their athletes’ conditioning has greatly impressed these trainers. It has enhanced their balance and coordination; increased their power, speed and flexibility; and augmented their stamina and endurance.

The Cellerciser® has also been an important factor in the treatment of patients with muscular pain or weakness, joint immobility and even sports injury. The machine’s usefulness in the area of rehabilitation has inspired awe in both athletic trainer and athlete.

I can guarantee that you will do better in your sport and enjoy it more if you use the Cellerciser® for your sports workout.

HEALING PAIN

Healing pain is a subject of concern for many people. We have all suffered pain in one way or another, at one time or another. Physical anguish is not easy to live with, whether it’s a throbbing headache, a soreness in one’s lower back, a spasm due to a pinched nerve or an arthritic affliction.

Healing pain cannot be achieved with prescription drugs alone. Oftentimes, medication only gives temporary relief or does not help at all. Sometimes, medication even causes damage to our other organs.

Our blood, lymph glands, heart, lung, gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys and skin are organs that have to function at peak condition if they are to keep us free from disease and pain. Since they are all interconnected and mutually dependent upon one other, it is vital that our circulatory system works optimally.

Good blood circulation and good lymphatic circulation are the foundations of good health. They are key players in fighting disease, rebuilding damaged body parts and healing pain.

Exercise goes a long way towards healing pain. Rebounding is one particular form of exercise that is highly effective in promoting healing. It enhances blood and oxygen circulation throughout the body.

Not all rebounders are created equal, however. Good construction is the most important factor to consider when shopping for a mini trampoline.

A cheap mini trampoline with inferior quality parts will cause irreparable damage to your ankles, your knees, your lower back and even your entire nervous system over time. In other words, it causes pain instead of healing pain.

Nothing will stimulate our circulatory system more safely than David Hall’s Cellerciser®, a premium quality rebounder or mini trampoline. Its jumbo tapered springs and its heavy duty Permatron® mat have boosted the benefits of the “typical” rebounder.

As with most products, you usually get what you pay for. Consider quality before you consider price. The Cellerciser® may seem a bit pricey compared to what you can find in sports and discount stores, but if you’re interested in healing pain, it is the last piece of exercise equipment you will ever need to buy.

Please feel free to email me if you need more information. I will only be too happy to get you on your way to healing pain.

TIGHTENING SKIN

Tightening skin takes on great importance when we hit the big 40. As gravity tends to pull things down, our muscles start to lengthen and our skin starts to sag.

Tightening skin becomes a primary concern when we see wrinkles on our faces and necks, cellulite on our thighs, baggy flesh under our upper arms, flab around our midsections and bulges around the bra strap area - the list goes on and on. And with each passing day, we find something new and unsightly in our bodies.

Tightening skin can even turn into an obsession as we look for ways and means to counteract the effects of time and gravity on our bodies. We may experiment with all brands of expensive creams. We may also undergo age-defying treatments.

These treatments may include liposuction, microcurrent, microdermabrasion, Intense Pulse Light, Thermage or Botox. And as the situation becomes seemingly more hopeless, we may even consider cosmetic surgery as a last resort.

All these are superficial approaches to skin tightening that are temporary fixes at best. Furthermore, the fix is sometimes not what we had originally hoped for. A conventional facelift, for example, simply stretches skin over the same old flabby muscles. Botox, on the other hand, paralyzes these muscles.

A better alternative to these temporary fixes would be a good workout. Exercise results in the shortening of the muscles, which in turn, leads to firming, toning and skin tightening from within.

Rebounding on David Hall’s Cellerciser®, his top quality mini trampoline, will do the job most efficiently and effectively. Bouncing flexes your muscles and gives your skin the benefits comparable to an actual facial massage.

Furthermore, the up and down movement of bouncing gets circulation going through your tightening skin layers. As circulation is enhanced, the toxic products that need to come out and the oxygen that needs to go in flow much more efficiently.

Besides tightening skin and improving circulation, rebounding gets rid of those fat deposits under the skin. These deposits cause skin to sag as the skin loses its elasticity. Rebounding stimulates, circulates, strengthens and improves the efficiency of every cell in the body - skin cells included.

As a result, wrinkles, cellulite, flab and bulges are diminished. Sagging skin takes on a new resilience and color. Complexion looks healthier and more alive.

Truly, rebound exercises are the most natural and non-invasive solution to the concern of tightening skin.

TRAMPOLINE FITNESS

Trampoline fitness is achieved via rebounding and is best done on David Hall’s Cellerciser®. Now rebounding is an exercise that applies weight and movement to every cell of the body. It massages, tones and strengthens all the body organs and their tissues.

Trampoline fitness is one of the best ways to keep yourself healthy and strong. All 75 trillion cells of the body are flexed at the same time, requiring only 10 minutes a day of your time!

Now you can build your very own trampoline fitness program with the following exercises, as demonstrated by David Hall himself.


Baby Bounce
Gently bouncing up and down creates pressure changes in your body. It stimulates and circulates blood and oxygen throughout your every body part and function.

The Cellerciser’s® superior spring design allows for the smooth acceleration and deceleration of the body. Its heavy duty Permatron® mat allows for better stability and support.


Twist
This twisting motion is another good trampoline fitness routine. It loosens and relaxes your lower back muscles while improving digestion and elimination.

This movement also massages your internal organs such as the liver, the kidneys, the spleen, the gall bladder, the pancreas and the intestines.




Knee Lift
This lower body trampoline fitness exercise is a form of resistance training. It allows your ligaments and the muscles along your vertebrae to stretch gently, which relieves tightness in those areas.

It is also excellent for developing your balance and stability.







Thighs-Buttocks

This movement involves shifting your weight from one foot to the other, with your knees slightly bent. It tones and strengthens your thighs and buttocks. It is also a good exercise for strengthening your knees.









Sit Bounce

This trampoline fitness movement strengthens your stomach, your lower abs, your thighs and your back. It gives your shoulders and your chest a good workout at the same time.









Front Kick

This is an advanced exercise that engages, tones and conditions your abdominal muscles. Kicking higher will work your abdominals even harder, giving your core the workout that develops your six-pack abs.










Back Kick

This trampoline fitness routine involves tilting forward slightly and kicking your legs behind you. It strengthens your lower back and gives your buttocks a lift at the same time.










Side Kick

Kicking out side-to-side helps to strengthen and slim the waist, obliques, hips and outer thighs. It’s a great way to get rid of your love handles!


There are a lot of rebounders out there, but there’s only one Cellerciser® that can give you unparalleled overall trampoline fitness.
