Topic: Has anyone tried Rebounding??

My gym has one.  And it's fun.  Make sure you get the bar to hold on to.   It's quite a workout in a short time.  You'll want to do this without a too tight bra on so you get the lymph juices moving around.

I just got a rebounder...any one else? So far, it's fun. And lordy, do I ever need more fun in my life!

I got a rebounder recently on sale at Big 5 and I love it.  It gives quite the workout and I really feel it after a very short amount of time.  It's fun and easy.

Ok ladies, you inspired me.  I purchased a 'body burner' yesterday.  Is this what you're talking about?

Hope that worked.  I'm trying to use those little link icons.  A quick google will work also, if my link doesn't.   

MJ, you sure ask an important question.  My wishful thinking says the exercise would be good for you, but my wishful thinking also wanted such a good response to chemo that I wouldn't need any further treatment.  That sure didn't happen.  I wonder who would know that answer. 

I assembled my body burner yesterday and jumped on it just a few times.  Today has been the worst day I've had in weeks!  Fatigue, achy bones.  I am not encouraged.   

Yes, yes. take it easy at first, it's really moving your blood around. you can bounce and get health benefit without even jumping, just keep your feet on the surface and bounce. AND make sure you have a very supportive bra, if you have any boob, esp after rads, like me. 5 min at a time is plenty to start.

My rebounder came with a balance bar. It's by Nedak. However Al Carter's "soft bounce" looks pretty good. I bought it for my mom 2 and a half years ago, and she hasn't tried it. My daughter and I love it. Mom has lymphatic obstruction in her lungs due to taxotere pulmonary toxicity. So I wonder if it's even safe for her to use.

I've read one of her books (can't remember the name, though). I saw her on a talk show once and remember her saying "milk is for baby cows", a statement I totally agreed with, so I wanted to hear what else she had to say. I think she knows what she's talking about, but, she doesn't have cancer, so who knows if her living style would work for us. 

As for the rebounding, I can't believe how well this works for toning and fat loss. My 12 year old was getting a "little bit chunky", so we bought a trampoline. The flab turned to muscle in just two months.

pam, the place where I get my superfood says the same thing about milk, that it's great food, if you're a cow!  LOL  Never before in my life have I ever contemplated giving up dairy, but it's at least on my list of considerations now.  Henner also mentioned skin brushing in the interview, another activity recommended by the place I get my superfood.  I'll be interested to see what's in her bibliographies. 

Thanks for the link twirlgirl.  I also saw the oprah show where she interviewed kris carr.  I'll definitely check it out.  For today I'm baking a cake for my cat's birthday tomorrow.  LOL  Actually, I have a shaker cookbook with a recipe I really want to try.  Filled with dairy and eggs, of course, but I love to bake, and I'm just so glad to FEEL like myself again and do things I enjoy.   

althea...all things in moderation is ok, and if you use organic eggs and dairy, it's still part of a healthy diet. I am sure you don't eat cake all day, every day. What is life without a little cake?

I don't drink milk, but do use yogurt and think it's very good for you. I am starting to get organic raw goat milk from a local farm and make my own yogurt, packed with probiotics...great for the immune system.

I just had some colon hydrotherapy and she was explaining the ways the body can eliminate toxins...one is through our skin. Which is why sweating is important...but also skin brushing. I did it a couple of times a week through rads, but have gotten lazy. I need to start again. It does feel really good!

The rebounding is going better all the time. I feel like my tone is improving, bit by bit. and it's fun! I'll be thrilled if this flab turns into muscle!

About the lymph moving cancer...

If you have cancer (I do) and if you are doing standard treatments...how do you think your body is moving out so called dead or dieing cancer cells out of your body.  Through the lymph system.  My thought was let's move the cells out of my body faster before they have time to attach too some place I don't want them to go. I can't use a rebounder anymore because of neuopathy so I bounce on a exercise ball setting down.

Best wishes to her.
