Well, my hubby was in the hospital with a fib. Came home with edema. Swollen ankles. Never once did any doctor tell him what to do. Just sent him home overdrugged. Where he kept falling every where. Till they finally took him off all but one drug.
Well, I put him on my rebounder for three minutes a day. Within two weeks his edema went away and has never came back. He drinks a lot of water. Watches his alcohol and still jumps daily. Almost. It is a miracle . We have the cellersizer.

Rebounding helps with lymphatic drainage

@carmenmiller5701 4 months ago

Very informative, thank you Emily. I recently purchased a JumpSport 350 rebounder and trying to do 3 to 5 minutes twice a day. I’m a 81 year young lady wanting to stay active and healthy in order to remain independent. I am enjoying rebounding and feel that it’s something I can commit to long term. It’s fun, easy and convenient. Videos like yours keep me motivated, so thank you again. Have a lovely day❤

I have been rebounding for 8 months or more and I can truly testify to the fact that it does help your lymphatic system. In just one day when I started rebounding, the puffiness in my feet went away, and now, I haven't had anymore swelling in my feet, hands or face. I did research myself, and numerous trainers, coaches, and yes, doctor's have shown through science research that rebounding definitely does help flush the lymphatic system. But the best proof is testimonials from other's and my own!😊😊😊

I'm a newbie, but I LOVE working out on my new rebounder SOOOOOO much!!! I started because I read it was good for people with ADHD!!! As a member of the 50+ community, I learned menopause has a HUGE impact on women with ADHD!!! Rebounding has helped me on SO many levels & my workouts never seem overwhelming or negative. I look forward to each & every one because it's just SO much fun!!!

I started rebounding a while back and honestly a lot of these points are things I wish someone had told me when I was starting. The biggest lesson for me was that you do not need to jump high to get benefits. A simple health bounce for a few minutes can still get your heart rate up and feels much easier on the joints. I also learned that consistency matters more than long workouts, especially as a beginner. If anyone is looking into getting a rebounder, I would recommend finding one with a smooth controlled bounce because it makes a huge difference in comfort and confidence when learning. I've had a good experience with Leaps and Rebounds for that reason. Rebounding has become one of the easiest ways for me to stay active at home without feeling like I'm forcing myself through a workout.

I'm 65 with L5-S1 Spondylosis and your channel is the first out of MANY I have investigated that resonated enough with me to subscribe. My balance isn't great and I must start super slow I know. I have found my Tribe on here and I look forward to starting.

Although I respect and understand your preference for researched prove. I feel the difference with my lympatic system also, which I'm very grateful for. Rebounding truly made my health improve so much!

@paularies3282 3 months ago

I'm surprised after only 5 minutes I feel like I had a long workout and feel awesome! It wasn't even that much. Starting slow so I don't over do it but LOVE it so far!!!

When you clear the mat for a brief time you are at zero gravity. This has very positive effects!

Was hoping for more!

I rebound by sitting on my 65 cm ball. Still effective per my physical therapist.

@AstroJuleOfTheTarot 3 months ago

I have my rebounder between my living and dining room so when I walk by I get on and rebound for a few minutes. Or rebound while watching tv.
I have a Becan and read that to make it less stiff leave off some of the bungies. Worked great.

@user-rb7fi2wz6z 2 weeks ago

Great video! One thing that would be really helpful to cover is trampoline dimensions and weight capacity/height requirements. Choosing the wrong size or height specs can make rebounding unsafe or impractical for people, so covering how to measure and choose the right size would be super useful for beginners!
