In Europe - where QiBounding has already been practiced for many years - many nutritionists have  integrated QiBounding into their weight loss program. Their clients report that they not only lose calories and therefore weight by QiBounding, but that the joy of the movement they experience while exercising stimulates them to generally move their bodies more often throughout the whole day.

Safe

 

One way to increase caloric expenditure is through regular exercise. Many people have trouble keeping a regular exercise program. They may not enjoy exercise, they may find it inconvenient, and with some types of exercise there is a stronger likelihood of causing new or aggravating existing injuries.

 

Consider running. In his recent book Chi Running, author Danny Dreyer points out that in any given year, 67% of all runners injure themselves! QiBó, on the other hand, with its mat that takes about 85% of your body weight on any given bounce, does not have the same adverse impact on the human structure. Not only is QiBounding far safer than running and similar activities from the perspective of avoiding injuries to joints and soft tissue, but QiBounding may even offer a substantial rehabilitative effect for joint and soft tissue injuries.

 

Convenient

 

What about people who find most forms of exercise inconvenient? While you do need a sufficient space to rebound in (primarily, a solid floor and enough vertical headroom and horizontal space to not hit anything), it can be outdoors or indoors in the yard, the park or your living room. There is no need to go to a gym, no need to dress up or go out, no need to only do it at a certain time of day. QiBounding is so convenient that many people find that they can maintain it as their regular form of excercise long after they would have given up other kinds of exercise.

 

Inherently Fun and Enjoyable

 

The ultimate advantage of QiBounding for weight loss purposes, however, is that it is inherently fun and enjoyable. If something isn't pleasurable, most people just won't do it, and if it is pleasurable, there is a much greater chance that you'll keep at it. There is a unique joy inherent in bouncing, a particular zinging and tingling of the body's energetic systems, that only rebounding can provide. There are so many ways to physically move your body during rebounding, and so many different ways to approach it (for example, listening to music, watching television, or bouncing with a friend), that many people simply make it their practice to QiBounding  every day.

 

Also, there can be a definite effect on the shape of the overall body, from more toned muscles to loosened up soft tissue and fascie. Every time you bounce you use your core muslces, and many people report an overall toning and strengthening of the core of their body. Over time, QiBounding can strengthen and elongate your whole body, leading to a longer, stronger, leaner You.

 

 

Supports you in Changing Habits

 

And last but not least, since QiBounding helps you in developing an enhanced body awareness in general, it tremendously supports you in changing old eating habits. Step by step you get more familiar with your body, your body becomes your friend, and you learn to listen to your body. Then the body itself can help you to gain a healthier attitude towards food and eating.
