A-Z Challenge is
Aging into Longevity
Jumping on a trampoline
(also called a rebounder)
is the secret to keeping
your cells free of debris.
With every jump, all
the cells are being
squeezed and it
eliminates stagnation.
A person absolutely has
to get this pumping action in order to make the lymph
fluid move around.
If the elderly lose their balance on a trampoline, there
is a bar for sale that attaches to the side and gives
one stability. I'm not to that point yet, but it's good
to know it's on the market for when the time comes
that I'll need it.
You really do get more bang for your buck on the
trampoline and your lymphatic system will thank you.
I wondered if any good at all came out of jumping on those little trampolines, and now I know. :)

DeleteThe lymph really needs the "squeeze." haha Running is usually hard on the knees and the feet ........but it's an excellent form of exercise and I wish I could do it. Why tempt what is the obvious and if an elderly person can do the soft landing on a tramp, go for it.
I run on the treadmill. I like it. I don't run outside. The cars on the country roads make me nervous. They can't see you coming up a hill until they're over it. I'm surprised so many don't seem worried about that at all... but to each his own, I always say sometimes. ;) :) :) Have a great weekend!
DeleteWow, I never would have guessed that one. Maybe I should get a trampoline. Not sure it would fit in my apartment though, and if it did, the ceiling may become an issue lol

DeleteFor years, this bulky tramp has been smack dab in the center of my so-called living room. I never have a place for it either. I notice the same problem in my kid's living rooms. haha And I have to admit that jumping up and down isn't the most exciting thing to do ....... so I find an old movie on TV and get into that and then I don't want to get. LOL
Hey, bouncing so high as to bang your head on the ceiling isn't exactly the way to go. Ha
I did not know this about trampolines! I would imagine it would be good for building bone strength too.
ReplyDeleteBish
DeleteSeems to be good for balance too. I just need stronger legs, period.
I have been reading about this and I do have a small one out in the garage. Ceiling too low in the house and the house is old enough that I am not so sure jumping up and down would be so good for the joists. But, I can put it out on the driveway when it is nice out.

DeleteMy house is a very antique farm house. (Sounds better than calling it a dump, which is what it really is) LOL I have wondered too, if I could end up in the cellar. Outside would perfect on a nice day.
Good to know. I did use mine this winter. I bounced during commercials. It was easy on my joints. Now days, gardening is my fitness program. Ouch.
ReplyDeletePatti
DeleteIt will be mine too as soon as I get the garage empty. There, I'm just a broken record but I can see the ending.
Jumping on one really is kind to the joints, It's almost like a
lulling song.
We bought a trampoline for the kids years ago, but dismantled it recently. The kids are grown and the thing made me queasy.
ReplyDeleteI did like it when Mrs. Penwasser used it, though. But, she eventually got wise to me.

DeleteJiggle Jiggle, flop, flop. That's enough of that. lol
We had a mini trampoline several years ago (6 maybe?) but no one bounced on it AND it was in the way. It was in the kitchen as I recall. So we got rid of it. Now I wish we still had it (after reading this).
ReplyDeleteRobin
DeleteYou must have had a nice big kitchen. It does get boring just bouncing up and down but when I think of it as benefiting my cells and lymph, I can do it. Just playing games with myself. lol
I was scared of trampolines in gym when I was 10, I think i'll skip this tip...actually, does skipping count?
ReplyDeleteJoeh
ReplyDeleteHey, if you can skip, more power to you. Now at my age, I think that is harder than running. Ha skipping is so melodic.
Well, then!! There are trampoline activity centers opening up in our area. I wonder if they have bars for one such as me?
ReplyDeleteSusan, I've never been in one of those. Do they have all sizes ? I was thinking they would have a lot of the big huge ones like people have out in their back yard.
DeleteIn a city nearby, there is a trampoline--um business. What I mean by this is that inside you jump a lot.
ReplyDeleteT. Powell
DeleteThey probably have the large ones that you would keep out in the back yard. That would be fun. I'm almost positive we don't have anything like that here.
Oh my gosh I'm like Robin I had one of those small trampolines and got rid of it. I did buy some Coconut Oil yesterday.
ReplyDeletePaula
Delete3 tablespoons of coconut oil a day will help keep alzheimers away. Congratulations, you are one of the coconut oil kids.
I will have to join the kids
ReplyDeleteI used to have one of those small trampoline's...they opened a big trampoline center around here and kids and adults are going there to bounce about. It must be good for blood flow..
ReplyDeleteI'm probably the one person to ever jump on a trampoline and to never have gotten hurt from my own stupidity.
ReplyDeletebut I've had some close calls.
DeleteMust be why some exercise programs start with jumping jacks. Both my mind and body balk at jumping, especially the knees. I notice that that the more warmed up I feel, the more willing I am to do jump.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice, I've not heard of this use for a trampoline before. Dropping in from the A to Z I have given your blog a shout out from my letter U today.

Trampolining??
ReplyDeleteI might be safer skipping rope and still get the jumping in.
Yeah! its really informative post, I knew here many things that I was not aware. This A-Z challenge is also interesting. Got many things that should be helpful to discuss and I will share it. Good Job!
