Exercise Trampolines

Exercise trampolines are great for people of all ages … children, adults and even those in their 80’s or 90’s.  One can do a gentle 10-minute rebounding routine or a vigorous 10-minute workout, depending on one’s capabilities and fitness goals.

Exercise trampolines stimulate, circulate, strengthen and improve the efficiency of body parts and functions.  It works on 75 trillion cells, applying weight and movement to each cell, all at the same time. Every single cell is exercised, including internal organs, veins, capillaries, bones, connective tissues and skin.

The up and down movement on exercise trampolines increases blood and oxygen circulation throughout the body, breaking up blockages, opening blood vessels, improving lymphatic drainage, boosting the immune system and strengthening the cell membrane.  The stronger your cells are, the more resistant your body is to viruses and bacteria and the less susceptible you are to cold, cough, flu and other respiratory ailments.

Regular bouncing on exercise trampolines promotes greater efficiency of the thyroid, endocrine and adrenal glands, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. Rebounding will give you a wonderful feeling of well-being and health that is truly unbelievable!

David Hall JogDavid Hall’s Cellerciser® is the best of all exercise trampolines in the market today.  It uses patented jumbo tapered barrel springs that eliminate the abrupt jarring effect to muscles and joints that inferior models cause.  Its mat is made of the space-age material  “Permatron®”, giving your feet the support that will keep them from pronating, which over time can cause injury to your ankles, knees and lower back.

I have exclusive distributorship rights to the sale of the Cellerciser® in the Philippines.  But wherever you are, I can facilitate shipment to you directly from the source, Center for Cellular Health, LLC in the U.S.

Home Senior Care

Seniors_90222553-300x300Home 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 93-year old mother has been using David Hall’s Cellerciser® for 5 years now. It took her only 3 days to recover from a past 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.

Sports Workout

Sports workout is an important factor for enjoying and excelling in any kind of sport. Training is essential, regardless of whether it’s in basketball, baseball, bowling, golf, swimming, soccer, track and field or tennis.

Sports workout builds stamina, endurance, power, speed, balance, coordination and flexibility – all key ingredients for success in any sport, fun event or competition.

I have found rebounding to be an excellent sports workout routine.  Instead of hitting a bucket of balls at the driving range, I just use my Cellerciser® to warm up before a round of golf.

I start with one minute of the gentle bounce to limber up my cold muscles.  Then I do the light jog, simultaneously stretching my shoulders, my arms, my wrists and my fingers.  I continue my sports workout with a few kicks to the front, to the back and to the sides.

I then follow that up with knee bends and knee stretches.  To get my energy levels going, I do some jumping jacks. I take a few practice swings on the rebounder to get into the feel of a full shoulder turn in my golf swing.

Finally, I end my sports workout by cooling down with another minute of the gentle bounce.  When that’s done, I am ready to go off to the golf course and hit my first drive.  It’s my idea of a perfect warm-up – the entire process takes only 5 minutes of my time.

It’s no wonder that a great number of athletic trainers in the U.S. use David Hall’s Cellerciser®.  It is the top of the line rebounder in the market, for both sports conditioning and rehabilitation.

The fact that a sports workout on the Cellerciser® has improved their athletes’ conditioning has greatly impressed these trainers. It has enhanced their balance and coordination; increased their power, speed and flexibility; and augmented their stamina and endurance.

The Cellerciser® has also been an important factor in the treatment of patients with muscular pain or weakness, joint immobility and even sports injury.  The machine’s usefulness in the area of rehabilitation has inspired awe in both athletic trainer and athlete.

I can guarantee that you will do better in your sport and enjoy it more if you use the Cellerciser® for your sports workout.

Gina Lopez on the Cellerciser

Gina Lopez, Managing Director of ABS-CBN Foundation, purchased a Cellerciser® 3 years ago.  Five days later, she excitedly phoned me to tell me that the Cellerciser® was her most awesome purchase ever.  In just less than a week, she had noted some of its many benefits.

In an article she wrote for her Philippine Star (February 2, 2010) column, From the Heart, entitled “Living a Healthy Life at 56,” Gina Lopez spoke of diet, vitamins, medicine, healing crystals, exercise, sleep, nature, meditation, etc.

On exercise, she wrote:

“I do yoga exercises daily, but this is more to keep me peaceful and prepare me for meditation.  Then I work out two or three times a week.  Weight-bearing exercises are good for the bones.  I have a yoga teacher who comes twice a week.  But over the past week I have stumbled across what is called a Cellexerciser (sic) — which is a rebounder or a mini-trampoline, but built much better.  Sturdier. Safer for the body.  This has been superb!  The instructions said start with one minute — but I got bored, so I went right up to 10 minutes and it was wonderful!  I watched the DVD that went with it.  The inventor David Hall has well-developed abs, biceps, is attractively lean — and he did this all with just 10 minutes a day!  Then I read the book — full of testimonials from people who have slimmed hips, thighs, improved their eyesight — addressed health problems with just 10 minutes a day!  So I have been doing 10 to 15 minutes for the past 10 days, and the results are amazing!

“I already have a lot of energy — but this boosted my energy level even further.  I also sleep better.  I had a tingling sensation in my left arm, which has been greatly reduced.  In short I am experiencing a wonderful sense of well-being, which came after only the first session!  Contact Rica Villalon, 0917-8397839.  She can deliver it to your house.  Or look up Cellexerciser (sic) on the net to give you a clearer understanding.  What got me attracted to it is the “only 10 minutes a day”!

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.

Trampoline Fitness

Trampoline fitness is achieved via rebounding and is best done on David Hall’s Cellerciser®.  Now rebounding is an exercise that applies weight and movement to every cell of the body.  It massages, tones and strengthens all the body organs and their tissues.

Trampoline fitness is one of the best ways to keep yourself healthy and strong.  All 75 trillion cells of the body are flexed at the same time, requiring only 10 minutes a day of your time!

Now you can build your very own trampoline fitness program with the following exercises, as demonstrated by David Hall himself.

BABY BOUNCE

Gently bouncing up and down creates pressure changes in your body.  It stimulates and circulates blood and oxygen on the cellular level.  Every body part is exercised at the same time. It is isotonic, isometric, calisthenic and aerobic all in one!

The Cellerciser’s® superior spring design allows for smooth acceleration and deceleration of the body. Its heavy duty Permatron® mat allows for better stability and support.

TWIST

The twisting motion is another good trampoline fitness routine.  It loosens and relaxes your lower back muscles while improving digestion and elimination.

This movement also massages your internal organs such as the liver, the kidneys, the spleen, the gall bladder, the pancreas and the intestines.

 

KNEE LIFT

This lower body trampoline fitness exercise is a form of resistance training. It allows your ligaments and the muscles along your vertebrae to stretch gently, which relieves tightness in those areas.

It is also excellent for developing your balance and stability.

 

 

THIGHS-BUTTOCKS

This movement involves shifting your weight from one foot to the other, with your knees slightly bent. It tones and strengthens your thighs and buttocks. It is also a good exercise for strengthening your knees.

As you shift your weight from foot to foot, you can lower your right and left shoulders correspondingly. This action loosens and relaxes the muscles alongside your vertebrae.


THE SIT BOUNCE

This trampoline fitness movement strengthens your stomach, your lower abs, your thighs and your back. It gives your shoulders and your chest a good workout at the same time.

The sit bounce on a Cellerciser® is far more effective than sit-ups done on the floor since your body weight applies additional pressure on your stomach muscles.

 

FRONT KICK

This is an advanced exercise that engages, tones and conditions your abdominal muscles. Begin with low kicks.  As you get more confident, kick higher. Kicking higher will work your abdominals even harder as it applies weight to every muscle at over 100 times a minute, giving your core the workout that develops your six-pack abs.

As you strengthen your abs – and your core muscles – so also will you strengthen your lower back muscles.

BACK KICK

This trampoline fitness routine involves tilting forward slightly and kicking your legs behind you.  It strengthens your lower back muscles and gives your buttocks a lift at the same time.

As you do your back kicks, it is important  that you use the balance bar that comes with your unit. This will give you proper support and keep you safe from accidental falls.

SIDE KICK

Jog slowly until you have a good rhythm going.  Then alternately kick your legs to each side. To burn more fat in less time, kick higher and higher while at the same time contracting your abdominal muscles.

Kicking out side-to-side helps to strengthen and slim the waist, obliques, hips, buttocks and outer thighs.

It’s a great way to get rid of your love handles!

There are a lot of rebounders out there, but there’s only one Cellerciser® that can give you unparalleled overall trampoline fitness.

Tightening Skin

Tightening skin takes on great importance when we hit the big 40. As gravity tends to pull things down, our muscles start to lengthen and our skin starts to sag.

Tightening skin becomes a primary concern when we see wrinkles on our faces and necks, cellulite on our thighs, baggy flesh under our upper arms, flab around our midsections and bulges around the bra strap area – the list goes on and on.  And with each passing day, we find something new and unsightly in our bodies.

Tightening skin can even turn into an obsession as we look for ways and means to counteract the effects of time and gravity on our bodies. We may experiment with all brands of expensive creams.  We may also undergo age-defying treatments.

These treatments may include liposuction, microcurrent, microdermabrasion, Intense Pulse Light, Thermage or Botox.  And as the situation becomes seemingly more hopeless, we may even consider cosmetic surgery as a last resort.

All these are superficial approaches to skin tightening that are temporary fixes at best.  Furthermore, the fix is sometimes not what we had originally hoped for.  A conventional facelift, for example, simply stretches skin over the same old flabby muscles.  Botox, on the other hand, paralyzes these muscles.

A better alternative to these temporary fixes would be a good workout. Exercise results in the shortening of the muscles, which in turn, leads to firming, toning and skin tightening from within.

Rebounding on David Hall’s Cellerciser®, his top quality mini-trampoline, will do the job most efficiently and effectively.  Bouncing flexes your muscles and gives your skin the benefits comparable to an actual facial massage.

Furthermore, the up and down movement of bouncing gets circulation going through your tightening skin layers.  As circulation is enhanced, the toxic products that need to come out and the oxygen that needs to go in flow much more efficiently.

Besides tightening skin and improving circulation, rebounding gets rid of those fat deposits under the skin.  These deposits cause skin to sag as the skin loses its elasticity.  Rebounding stimulates, circulates, strengthens and improves the efficiency of every cell in the body – skin cells included.

As a result, wrinkles, cellulite, flab and bulges are diminished.  Sagging skin takes on a new resilience and color.  Complexion looks healthier and more alive.

Truly, rebound exercises are the most natural and non-invasive solution to the concern of tightening skin.

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.

chronic-back-pain-breakthroughs-01-afHealing 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.

Abdominal Machines

DSC00179_bAbdominal machines come in many forms, shapes and sizes.  The marketplace has much to offer in this area of fitness.  While some machines are effective, others are most certainly not.

Abdominal machines have become part of a superfluous collection for a great number of people. It has become increasingly common to see someone owning far too many of these machines through sheer trial and error.

What if I told you that there was an abdominal machine that could put all your other machines to shame?  That this piece of equipment would not only help you with your abs, but would take care of the health and fitness of your entire body? That this would be the last piece of exercise equipment that you would ever have to buy?

I have good news for you: I discovered one such machine at a health seminar I attended in Los Angeles in March 2008!  It’s David Hall’s Cellerciser®, the top-of-the-line mini-trampoline or rebounder in the market today.

I will talk of abdominal machines and exercises today.  The first and the simplest exercise is the common jog.  Even just raising your legs in a jogging motion engages your abdominal muscles and strengthens them.

To take this exercise further, you can try lifting your knees higher as you jog.  This makes the abs work even harder as the movement applies weight to your every muscle at over 100 times a minute.

An advanced exercise that is good for the abs is the “front kick”.  This is where you jump slowly on the abdominal machine and kick one foot at a time straight out in front of you.

Once you get a good feel of the exercise, you can kick faster and higher. There’s no need to worry about losing your balance, as the Cellerciser® is equipped with a balance bar for support.

An excellent, though more challenging, exercise on this abdominal machine is the “V-sit”.  You sit on the mat, lift your legs straight up in front, raise your arms out to the sides, and then rock back and forth from one hip to the other. This requires tightening and control of your core muscles, but it will definitely bring you the results you want.

As an exercise tool, the Cellerciser® can get you those six-pack abs that you have always wanted.  After all, why settle for less when you can have the best in abdominal machines?

Lower Back Exercises


Lower Back ExercisesLower 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.

Lose Weight Exercises

Lose weight exercises – the phrase may sound funny, but the real need for them is not.  Many times before, I have been asked what the best way to lose weight is. People want to lose weight but they want a hassle-free and time-efficient solution for doing so.

Lose weight exercises that conform to these seemingly unreasonable conditions do exist.  These are exercises one can do on a mini-trampoline right in the confines of one’s own home or office.

The Cellerciser®, David Hall’s premium quality mini-trampoline or rebounder, is the answer.  He has a 10-minute daily program that will exercise every single part of one’s body – abs, waist, hips, thighs, arms, legs, ankles, calves, knees – all in one go.  Rebounding reduces fat deposits and builds and tones muscles at the same time.

What’s more, these lose weight exercises can be designed according to the body parts you want to work on.  For example, there is the front kick – kicking one foot in front of you, and then the other as you bounce – which works your abdominal muscles, strengthening them and firming your tummy.

Then there is the back kick – kicking one foot behind you, and then the other as you bounce – which loosens and stretches those tight back muscles and at the same time strengthens the lower back.

Next is the side kick – alternately kicking the right foot to your right, the left foot to your left as you bounce – which works on your love handles, slimming your waist and your hips in the process.

There are a number of lose weight exercises for your arms too. You can combine arm movement with bouncing to trim the baggy flesh under your upper arms.  One way to do this is by holding your arms to the sides and rotating them in small circles at shoulder level.

Other ways involve doing the jump rope motion with your arms, or extending your arms over your head and down to shoulder height.

The list of possible exercises goes on and on. Even simply bouncing gently up and down or doing a light jog for 10 minutes will do a wonderful job towards looking good and feeling fit!  Keeping healthy need not be a burden with these simple and effective lose weight exercises.

Trampoline Exercise

Trampoline exercise is one of the best forms of exercise.  It is your complete workout in just 10 minutes a day.

Trampoline exercise can offer you a better way to lose weight, as we all know how frustrating dieting and exercising can be.  I discovered David Hall’s Cellerciser® at a health conference in the U.S. in 2008 and my life has not been the same since.

I am amazed at the benefits that trampoline exercise has brought me … energy levels that keep me going all day long … a nice flat tummy (finally!) … a 24-inch waistline (down from 27-28 inches) … a strong lower back and pain-free knees … slimmer hips and firmer buttocks.

But that’s not all.  Trampoline exercise has improved my bodily functions tremendously.  I enjoy improved sleep … better digestion and elimination … a robust immune system that has kept cold, cough and flu away.

My trampoline exercise routine takes all of 10 minutes a day, in the comfort of my bedroom!  And the great news for everyone is that with trampoline exercise you can reap benefits without having to change your eating habits.  In fact, for some of you that do not want to lose any more weight (like me), it may even be necessary to increase your food intake.  Isn’t that absolutely awesome?

Trampoline exercise is isotonic, isometric, calisthenic and aerobic exercises all rolled into one.  For close to ten years I went to the gym three times a week for 40 minutes of cardio exercises and an hour of weight training.  Since I purchased David Hall’s Cellerciser®, I have done away with going to the gym altogether.  This has not only saved me time and money, but has also put me in the pink of health.

As a result of my great experience with trampoline exercise and the Cellerciser® in particular, I asked David Hall for dealership in the Philippines. My success with the product in this market has earned me exclusive Philippine distributorship.

The Cellerciser® is not your ordinary rebounder or mini-trampoline, mind you. Navigate my website for more information on this unique product and the wonders of trampoline exercise.

Heart Fitness


Heart FitnessHeart 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.

Get Rid of Love Handles

Get rid of love handles!  They stick out of your jeans.  They show through your shirts. They make you look twice as big as you are.  They are ugly.

Get rid of love handles” may be the clarion call for this day and age, yet it remains a tall order for most people.  It is easier said than done, even for the majority who think that radical dieting and drastic exercise are the only means to achieving this dream.

Love handles are actually composed of a layer of fat that is deposited around a person’s midsection.  They are especially visible on the sides over the abdominal external oblique muscles. The anatomic term for them is “oblique”.

By and large, it is believed that reducing fat in a single spot (in the oblique, for example) is impossible to achieve.  Further, it is thought that the best way to get rid of love handles is through aerobic exercise, total body resistance training and healthy eating.

Rightly so, as aerobic exercise will help burn the fatty deposits in all areas of the body. Over the course of time, it will reduce fat levels around the love handles as well.

Rebounding on a mini-trampoline is one of the best ways to get rid of love handles.  It diminishes fat deposits while it tones and builds muscles at the same time.  It is simple, fun, de-stressing, convenient and easy on your body.

Doing the gentle bounce and the light jog on a rebounder will increase your body’s metabolism so you can lose fat and weight more effectively.

Still, there are exercises one can do on a rebounder to work on specific areas of the body.

To get rid of love handles, one can do the Twist. Jump on the rebound unit with your feet together and twist your body from side to side.  This exercise will work your internal and external oblique muscle groups, where fat is generally stored.

Another exercise you can do to get rid of love handles is the Side Kick.  To do this exercise, begin jogging and then alternately kick each leg to the side.  This motion directly stresses the oblique, which tones and tightens them.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that in order to tone your middle and get rid of love handles, you also need to strengthen your back. This creates a balance in your torso and reduces the fat on your back.

Finally, the Back Kick is an excellent rebound exercise for your lower back.  Do this exercise by jogging and then alternately kicking each leg to the back.  Always remember that your back muscles and your abdominal muscles are interdependent on each other.

Take note, however, that not all rebounders are the same. It’s wise to invest in a top of the line rebound unit, such as David Hall’s Cellerciser®.  This safe and effective exercise equipment will help you get rid of love handles.

Blood Pressure Exercise

96534-blood_pressureBlood 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.
