When you loose your blood cells in your discs

 

Did you know that from age 20 on your discs in your spine loose all red blood cells? The only way they are nourished from that moment on is through an up and down movement of the spine. This movement provides a contraction and extention of the discs, by which they receive nourishment from their environement. They act similar to sponges being pressed and released by the up and down movement of the spine which occurs when you run.

 

When our body received its function at the time when we were gatherers and hunters the average person had to cover about 15 miles per day in order to gather enough food. During that time our spine received plenty of up and  down movement. Today we are left with the necessity of this movement but  unfortunately our way of life does not give us much of it - unless we jog...

 

But then jogging, is it safe? In his book "Chi Running", author Danny Dreyer points out that in any given year, 65% of all runners injure themselves!

 

Soft to joints and back

 

So jogging is perhaps not what we want. Especially not those of us who have sensitive backs or injured joints. Here comes the good news: The mat of a high quality rebounder, like the ones of the Bellicon Brand, absorbs 85% of your body's weight on every bounce and leaves you with only 15%. This makes QiBounding the ideal exercise for all those who suffer from back or joint problems. With this feature it is even safer than walking.

 

Rehabilitation effect on joints and soft tissue

The second good news is that rebounding when done properly is not only 100% safe, but it even helps has a substantial rehabilitative effect on joint and soft tissue injuries.
