I'm doing what I haven't been doing


Woo Hoo!  A year ago my husband and I took a business cruise for five days out of Miami, left the kids with friends and had an amazing celebration of our five year anniversary as well as an excellent learning and growing experience.   I went to a seminar called the Ultimate Exercise and was blown away, I got the equipment and once I got home got side tracked and focused on my Doula certification, which was the right decision.  I finally finished all of the training and am a Certified Reboundologist, YAY.  What is that you ask?

A rebounder looks like a mini trampoline but it is designed specifically for exercise.  The reason it is called a rebounder because it has the same function as the springboard used in gymnastics, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springboard_(gymnastics), below is a video of a springboard.



A trampoline used in gymnastics is large and for flips, the rebounder is for cell exercise, our body is made out of cells, and when we exercise up and down we are going against gravity and it gives us great benefit.  The Healthy Cell Concept is fascinating, cells need certain food, a certain environment, cell exercise, and cell communication.

I currently incorporate a rebounder with my Yoga clients, and all you need to clean your whole lymph system, which is connected to the immune system is 4 minutes on the rebounder doing a very soft bounce.  It is great for the elderly, pregnant women, and even people with injury or other physical circumstances.

It is easy on the joints, the strength bounce builds lean muscle, and it helps strengthen the pelvic floor which gets weak after child birth.

What is today's blog really about?  I realized what I haven't been doing, drinking enough water and doing enough cardio.  One of my clients said when you are hungry drink water, that makes total sense to me, I love to snack and I love food, but I do not drink enough.  Below is my cardio schedule, on Fridays I always do Yoga with my teacher, so far on track!

Tuesday      Eliptical

If you are curious about the rebounder, get in touch, no matter where you live, I can tell you all about it, I LOVE TO JUMP.
