Home Senior Care

Home senior care includes physical rehabilitation as part and parcel of its program. Studies show that it is safe for most adults over 70 years old to exercise.

Home senior care is even recommended for patients with chronic illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and arthritis. Many of their physical ailments can be addressed and treated with exercise.

Home senior care should, of course, be undertaken with the guidance and supervision of a doctor.  If you are not sure if the particular exercise is safe for you, or if you are currently inactive, it always helps to ask your doctor.

There are four essential forms of exercise that those in a home senior care program can get into: aerobics, isometrics, isotonic and calisthenics.

Aerobic exercise is exercise that improves the body’s oxygen consumption.  It strengthens the cardiovascular, pulmonary, lymphatic, muscular and metabolic systems.

Isometric exercise involves the contraction of a muscle without joint movement. This is excellent for strength training and rehabilitation of those receiving home senior care.

Isotonic exercise, on the other hand, involves contraction of a muscle to produce a range of movements.  This form of exercise strengthens the skeletal muscles.

Calisthenic exercise may consist of a variety of simple movements for those under home senior care.  These are usually performed without weights. They increase body strength and flexibility using the weight of one’s own body for resistance. Repeated motions of calisthenics done over an extended period of time are great for building muscle endurance.

Rebounding is probably the safest and most convenient exercise that the elderly or disabled can incorporate into their home senior care program.  It includes all the exercise forms described above.  It is the one exercise that can be done with a single fitness machine in just 10 minutes a day.

Furthermore, rebounding enables the body to rid itself of bacteria, virus and other harmful wastes by stimulating the cells and increasing the circulation of body fluids to them.

If you are not already physically active under home senior care, then begin slowly. Should a 10-minute session be too tiring for you, you can always split your routine into two segments of 5 minutes each; one in the morning and another one in the evening.

The baby bounce or the light jog is a good starting point for a home senior care exercise program.  Starting slowly makes it less likely that you will injure yourself. It also helps prevent soreness from “overdoing” it.

The saying “no pain, no gain” is not true for older or elderly adults. You do not have to perform high intensity exercise to get most health benefits.

The key to exercising regularly is to have a positive attitude towards it. Pick an activity you can have fun with in your home senior care regimen and focus on making the experience as pleasant as possible.

For example, my  92-year old mother has been using David Hall’s Cellerciser® for 3 years now. It took her only 3 days to recover from a recent bout with pneumonia. Instead of taking her illness lying down, she bounced!  Today, she continues to be mobile, healthy and spirited.

Research has conclusively demonstrated that physical activity is linked to increased longevity. It is for this reason that exercise is an integral part of home senior care.

Varicose Treatment

Varicose treatment is very important to our health.  Since a number of doctors refer to our legs as our “secondary heart,” it then follows that having good circulation in our legs is crucial to having good circulation in the rest of our bodies.

Varicose treatment need not be confined to invasive options such as laser surgery, surgical vein stripping, microsclerotherapy injections and the like.  Besides carrying health risks and side effects of their own, invasive procedures do not guarantee against the recurrence of maladies.

An important aspect of varicose treatment is for patients to take steps that they can do themselves. Home-based therapies may include exercise or any activity that gets the legs moving, such as walking, swimming or dancing. These forms of movement will stimulate good blood flow in the veins and the arteries.

As simplistic as it may sound, good blood flow can be achieved on a mini trampoline or rebounder.  The fact is that more and more physicians recommend these forms of exercise equipment for varicose treatment.

The-up-and-down movement on a rebounder massages the body’s cells. This simple action removes trapped blood proteins that contribute to varicose veins, phlebitis and other blood flow problems. The motion breaks up blockages and opens blood vessels anew, thereby improving circulation.

Given its effectiveness in varicose treatment, it is no surprise that David Hall’s Cellerciser® is the rebounder of choice.  It is vastly superior to any rebounding device available in the market today.

The Cellerciser® is not only effective in varicose treatment, it is also safe to use. Other cheaper and more typical rebounders can cause nerve damage, knee problems and lower back injuries.

That will never happen with the Cellerciser®, as its triple tiered springs and space age Permatron® mat effectively prevent these mishaps from taking place.

The Cellercise® workout may very well be the best form of exercise for varicose treatment.

Lymphatic Massage for Cold, Cough and Flu

Lymphatic massage is certainly worth more than a passing glance.  Nowhere is this truer than in today’s world: people await the development of an A (H1N1) vaccine to help it deal with the ever-increasing number of flu cases.

Lymphatic massage is one way of warding off illnesses — from the swine flu and other strains to the more common cold and cough.  These are but indications of a weakened or compromised immune system.  An impaired immune system results in an increased vulnerability to practically every type of illness.

Lymphatic massage treats those problems and affects your entire metabolism as well.  It does this by normalizing your circulatory, muscular and nervous systems, as well as their interdependent functions.

The lymphatic system is sometimes referred to as the “healing center” of the body. It’s a vast network of vessels, lymph nodes and specialized organs that transport and filter clear lymph fluid through the body. As lymph fluid moves around the body, disease-fighting antibodies and specialized blood cells are created while viruses, bacteria, infections and cellular waste products are destroyed or filtered.

Unlike the cardiovascular system of the heart, the lymphatic system does not have a “pump”. It relies mainly on the pressure created by skeletal muscles contracting and relaxing to push the lymph fluid around the body.  In other words, movement is critical.

Rebounding on a Cellerciser® is a simple way of enjoying the same benefits that a lymphatic massage provides. The pumping motion one gets from bouncing on the machine produces a very similar effect. It increases blood circulation and lymphatic flow, both of which will help you prevent (or get rid) of colds, cough and flu.

Thanks to the Cellerciser®, you can help your body get the necessary stimulation it needs to enhance its ability to heal itself — right in the comfort of your home. Rebounding is a practical, natural, pain and drug-free alternative to prescription drugs and to a lymphatic massage.

Healing Pain

Healing pain is a subject of concern for many people.  We have all suffered pain in one way or another, at one time or another. Physical anguish is not easy to live with, whether it’s a throbbing headache, a soreness in one’s lower back, a spasm due to a pinched nerve or an arthritic affliction.

Healing pain cannot be achieved with prescription drugs alone.  Oftentimes, medication only gives temporary relief or does not help at all.  Sometimes, medication even causes damage to our other organs.

Our blood, lymph glands, heart, lung, gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys and skin are organs that have to function at peak condition if they are to keep us free from disease and pain.  Since they are all interconnected and mutually dependent upon one other, it is vital that our circulatory system works optimally.

Good blood circulation and good lymphatic  circulation are the foundations of good health.  They are key players in fighting disease, rebuilding damaged body parts and healing pain.

Exercise goes a long way towards healing pain.  Rebounding is one particular form of exercise that is highly effective in promoting healing. It enhances blood and oxygen circulation throughout the body.

Not all rebounders are created equal, however. Good construction is the most important factor to consider when shopping for a mini-trampoline.

A cheap mini-trampoline with inferior quality parts will cause irreparable damage to your ankles, your knees, your lower back and even your entire nervous system over time.  In other words, it causes pain instead of healing pain.

Nothing will stimulate our circulatory system more safely than David Hall’s Cellerciser®, a premium quality rebounder or mini trampoline.  Its jumbo tapered springs and its heavy duty Permatron® mat have boosted the benefits of the “typical” rebounder.

As with most products, you usually get what you pay for.  Consider quality before you consider price.  The Cellerciser® may seem a bit pricey compared to what you can find in sports and discount stores, but if you’re interested in healing pain, it is the last piece of exercise equipment you will ever need to buy.

Please feel free to email us if you need more information.  We will only be too happy to get you on your way to healing pain.

Knee Exercises

Knee exercises are vital, not only to our knees, but to our overall health as well.  The knees are the largest joints in the body.  They support our weight and play a key role in our mobility.  Physical movements such as walking, running, jumping, dancing, bending, pivoting and playing sports all require good knees.

Knee exercises keep our knees and the muscles that support them strong and flexible.  The best exercises for the knees – as well as for the rest of our body – are the low impact, weight-bearing ones.

David Hall’s mini trampoline, the Cellerciser®, is an excellent way to get into these knee exercises. Its patented tapered springs and its space age Permatron® mat aren’t jarring to the skeletal system, making it the best rebounder available in the market.

An easy knee exercise you can start with is the “low jog”. Simply lift your feet 2 or 3 inches off the mat as you jog.  As you progress, you can jog faster and lift your feet higher.  This movement builds up your weak knees instead of tearing them down.

A more advanced knee exercise is the “squat”.  Stand with your feet on either side of the mat. Sit low like you would on a horse, back over your heels, and then lift your toes slightly, with your feet flat on the mat.  In this position, simply shift your weight from foot to foot.

An even more advanced knee exercise is the “side to side jump”.  Stand on one side of the mat with your feet together. Jump back and forth from one side of the mat to the other side. As you advance with this routine, you can sit lower and lower as you jump.

A good rule of thumb is to try rebounding every single day.  If you do not have 10 or 15 minutes, 5 minutes is certainly better than none at all – and it can make all the difference in how you feel! Consistency is the key to success in any exercise program, so be sure to work daily on your knee exercises.

Lymphatic Massage

Lymphatic massage is a technique used to stimulate lymph flow.  Increased lymph flow improves the body’s metabolism, removes wastes and toxins from the tissues and provides a boost to the immune system.

Lymphatic massage can be useful for individuals who regularly suffer from respiratory ailments.  It is also recommended for people with sports injuries, skin problems or low energy levels.

The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in your body’s ability to heal injury and ward off disease.  It is responsible for transporting nutrients to the cells, for increasing metabolism and for helping fluid and waste to leave the body. 

When the lymphatic system becomes blocked, fluid builds up and stagnates, causing the entire system to become toxic.  This makes us feel sluggish and more susceptible to viral or bacterial infection.

Blocked lymph pathways could cause a variety of ailments.  These include frequent cold and flu infections, joint pain, headache and migraine, menstrual cramps, arthritis, loss of appetite, fatigue, mood irregularities, depression, acne, cellulite and others.

A good lymphatic massage can increase lymph flow by as much as 20 times.  The massage stimulates this system, clears blockages, eliminates harmful substances and enhances the immune system.

Rebounding is one natural way of acquiring the benefits of an excellent lymphatic massage.  When bouncing, gravitational forces alternately put pressure on and take pressure off body cells. This pumping action massages and stimulates the cells, cleansing them of harmful toxins and promoting healthy lymph circulation.

David Hall’s Cellerciser®, the top-of-the-line rebounder or mini trampoline in the market, is the safest way to get a good lymphatic massage.  It’s patented triple-tiered springs and its space age Permatron® mat protect you from injuring your ankles, your knees, your lower back and your nervous system.

The next time you’re feeling under the weather, try bouncing instead of skipping exercise. Continue your rebound program to give your cells a good workout and to rid your body of that nasty bacteria or virus.

Finally, remember to drink lots of water before, during and after your workout to flush away the toxins and to make the most of your lymphatic massage.

Lower Back Exercises

Lower back exercises, when performed on a mini-trampoline or a rebounder, are an excellent way to keep fit. They loosen tight muscles, stretch them and strengthen them in the process.

Lower back exercises are best done on David Hall’s Cellerciser®, the top-of-the-line rebounder in the market today. It is absolutely safe, thanks to the equipment’s high quality springs and space age Permatron® mat.

Because of its excellent quality, an ever-growing number of medical doctors, chiropractors and health practitioners recommend the Cellerciser® to their clients.

There are a number of lower back exercises that one can do on the rebounder. One of them is the back kick, wherein one bounces while alternately kicking his or her legs towards the back. This is done 30 to 40 times.

Another lower back exercise is the “twist”. One places one’s feet and knees together while jumping on the rebound unit and twisting from side to side.

The movement loosens the muscles in the back and provides for some lateral movement of the vertebrae. As the muscles and vertebrae loosen, changes in pressure help increase circulation to the spinal disks. This particular exercise is also performed 30 to 40 times.

The alternate knee lift is one of my favorites among the lower back exercises. In it, the person lies on his or her back on the rebound unit and extends his or her legs. One knee is pulled up over the chest with hands clasped around the knee.

The person holds this position for 10 seconds before lowering the leg. It is then repeated with the other knee. The person then alternates knees and repeats this lower back exercise 10 times. Effects include near immediate relief from tightness in the lower back.

The key to strengthening your lower back is to strengthen your abdominal muscles. When the muscles in your abdomen are weak, your lower back muscles attempt to compensate. The problem is that the latter will eventually begin to hurt due to the strain!

The above exercises help tone your abs and make them do their part in keeping your entire skeletal system in line. This takes a huge amount of pressure off your lower back and even helps in supporting it. Keep in mind, though, that the quality of one’s lower back exercises is only as good as the quality of one’s equipment.

Heart Fitness

Heart fitness is an important ingredient for a long and productive life.  Diet and exercise are its essential components. I will speak about the latter in today’s article.

Heart fitness is a concern of the great majority of people, be they male or female, young or old. It’s only fitting, since cardiovascular disease ranks as one of the top killers in the world today, with physical inactivity being a major risk factor. 

The American Heart Association recommends that all healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 65 should engage in moderate intensity exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, 5 times each week.

Rebounding is one of the best forms of exercise for heart conditioning.  Fortunately, David Hall’s premium rebound equipment, the Cellerciser®, is just about the best tool there is for starting you down the road to heart fitness.  It is safe, effective and cost-efficient.

The Cellerciser® is safe because it is gentler on the body than walking or running on hard surfaces.  Its patented tapered barrel springs and its space age Permatron® mat allow for smooth acceleration and deceleration with each jump. 

There is no jarring or traumatic effect to the ankles, the knees, the lower back or to any other part of the body.  The risk of injury associated with other forms of exercise is negligible with the Cellerciser®.  With no risk of injury, the person needs only to concentrate on achieving heart fitness.

The machine is also effective because one gets fantastic results from rebounding in relation to the amount of time one spends on it. This makes it the ideal exercise equipment of choice.  In just 10 minutes, the heart gets an excellent workout. 

Doctors say that the cardiovascular benefits of exercise come from your heart pumping faster than normal for an extended period of time.  This is easy to do on the Cellerciser®.  All you have to do is to just get up and bounce.  It’s heart fitness made simple

Finally, the Cellerciser® is cost-efficient because it is a one-time expense that can benefit every single member of your family. It totally redefines exercise, making it the last piece of exercise equipment that you will ever need to buy!

So get on a Cellerciser® today and enjoy a workout like you’ve never experienced before!  Remember, rebounding is about overall fitness, not just about heart fitness.

Blood Pressure Exercise

Blood pressure exercise is a good approach to managing high blood pressure rates. Many studies have been conducted involving different age groups and a variety of exercises. All of these have shown that regular physical activity lowers blood pressure for those suffering from hypertension.

Blood pressure exercise can lower systolic pressure to the same degree that treatment with a typical blood pressure-lowering medication does. What’s more, reducing blood pressure to this degree can also reduce stroke and heart attack rates by 25 percent!

Nearly all exercises lower blood pressure. Endurance exercises such as walking, jogging, swimming or biking are most helpful in controlling blood pressure. However, selecting an exercise that is enjoyable and convenient greatly improves your chances of success.

Rebounding is one such blood pressure exercise.

You can jog on your rebounder or mini trampoline, dance on it, skip rope on it – just have fun with it! You can do it in your bedroom or in your office.  It does not require special clothing or a personal trainer. More importantly, you can do it in just 10 minutes a day, at any time of the day.

Blood pressure exercise on a rebounder or mini trampoline reduces blood pressure in different ways.  First, it does this by reducing body fat, which in turn brings down blood pressure.

Second, rebounding lowers your blood pressure by making you sweat.  This helps your body rid itself of water and salt, thereby mimicking the effects of diuretics.

Third, rebounding exercise affects two major hormones in our body, adrenaline and insulin. As a result, this blood pressure exercise lowers both your cholesterol levels and your blood sugar levels.

A rebounding program on a quality unit like David Hall’s Cellerciser® is safer than most exercise programs.  It’s patented triple tiered springs and its space age Permatron® mat will protect you from injury. 

The balance bar that goes with it prevents accidents from happening and ensures a fun and convenient blood pressure exercise routine.
