Rebounding - The Exercise That Changes Lives

One of the most beneficial forms of exercise on the planet involves bouncing up and down on a small, round trampoline. It may sound weird, but experts are lining up to confirm it.

How so? Well, for a start you get all the cardiovascular benefits of jogging, but with none of the impact damage on your joints. Dr Joseph Ventura, DC, is a Chiropractic Physician with 21 years experience in the field of exercise rehabilitation. In those years he's seen and used just about every type of exercise routine and device designed to improve cardiovascular health. Here's what he has to say on the subject:

"By far, the winner in the "benefits versus risks" category is rebounding. When discussing aerobic exercise you must understand the difference between High Impact and Low Impact and how those differences affect the body. Every time the foot hits the ground, force is generated by the impact. Some of this force travels down and out, absorbed by the shoe and the ground. Some of the force travels back upwards to be absorbed by the foot, ankles, knees, etc. The higher the impact, the more force is absorbed by the body. While a sudden injury rarely occurs during this type of injury, microtraumas, or very slight cumulative injuries, do occur frequently. Over time these little injuries can become big problems. To reduce the chance of these microtraumas developing into big problems, the goal is to focus on activities that produce high aerobic benefits and low impact forces. By far, the best exercise routine to fit this bill is rebounding on a mini-trampoline. If done properly, virtually every major muscle in the body, especially the heart".

Still not convinced? In her book, Rebounding to Better Health, Linda Brooks devotes an entire chapter to therapeutic rebounding. It can help to remove trapped blood proteins, so that excess fluid is removed and the cells can receive a full oxygen supply. It can help arthritis by aiding lymph fluid circulation, while varicose veins can be healed by strengthening the cells to allow proper blood flow.

You need to choose a rebounder carefully, as many are poorly made and will not give long service. I have used a Needak folding rebounder for over five years. Not only is it strong, it has a very soft matting material which makes the whole experience a lot more comfortable than on cheaper versions. For more on the Needak rebounder please visit www.ukrebounders.com

Happy bouncing!

What exercise can be done by a young person with a shoulder and knee joint pain/arthritis?

I Cant do any upper body exercise due to my right shoulder and cant do any lower body exercise due to the knee problem. I tried swimming but it too causes shoulder pain. Have tried different doctors and physiotherapy without any success.......I AM JUST 34 YEARS OLD. HOW WILL I LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE WITHOUT EXERCISE???, I will probably die young due to lack of exercise. this is very frustrating.

You might look into Aquajogging, running in place floating in the pool with a foam belt for bouyancy. Lance Armstrong does it to improve his power. Lots of track athletes do it as well. No impact and it is low speed, so it should be easy on the knee. Or just trying kicking with a kickboard, either with arms extended or kickboard hugged to your chest, and do flutter kick, your knees will stay pretty much straight.

You could do lots of sit-ups and core work as well? You might just have to learn to deal with some pain in anything you do, as hard as that is. Is a little pain worth more years on the life? Sounds like a frustrating situation, hope you can find something that works for you.

Exercise Program For Me.?

So im 15, Male , and about 5"6, 140. I need and exercises program that will help me lose about 10-15 pounds and build muscle. I go to school and usually eat dinner at about 6:00. So, if you could come up with a great exercise program that would be great! Keep in mind i don't have any machines and i have arthritis in my wrists(lol, that's what i get for cracking them all the time), and i cant go for runs!
Thank You, p.s, i cant do diets, my mom isnt willing to cook healthy food haha!
Oh also, haha i dont really have fat all over me, its mainly my stomach area, and legs! thanx! i wanna at least feel comfetable taking my shirt of at the beach! THanx!

Write down your weekly goals, and make them realistic. Plan to exercise 3 times a week as your goal. If you do it 4 times, then you've really made extra progress. Reward yourself for the achievements. (It can be as little as a chart with gold stars, or as great as a new piece of clothing.) Think of this as positive moves to your goal! You'll feel better physically and mentally.
i would suggest for exercising: Running, Dancing, Swimming, biking, hiking, walking, anything that will get your heart ♥ pumping
when you want a snack grab a piece of fruit instead of chips and junk food.
if you are going to eat junk food don't go overboard limit your portions (that goes for all meals)

try this:

drink 8 glasses of water
have 6 servings of the rice-pasta-cereal-bread group
3 servings of vegetables
2 servings of fruits
3 servings of dairy
2 servings of the meat-poultry-fish-beans-nuts group\

Women: young, arthritis, fatigue, exercising, and overweight w/no results?

I'm 29 years old and was an active person until about 4 years ago. I've been diagosed w/ Lupus and Rhematoid Arthritis now just Mild Arthritis in my shoulders, back, arms, knees and ankles. My blood tests now do not show what they did years past but through moving a new doctor says basically I'm just fat and need to lose weight. I'm 5'10 and about 25lbs over my BMI normal range. I admit I'm overweight but I'm trying, I've been exercising (on days it's not too cold) but even then I walk on the treadmil (can't run have no balance-get dizzy), get on exercise bike and lift weights for an hour. I'm watching what I eat, 100% whole wheat bread, vegetables, lots of protein, water-no sodas; do have lots of stress thought -ADHD child, deployed husband; any one been/going through the same any suggestions on exercises, meals, life changes?
Do diet pills, Thank you

i am also overweight, but a little older than you with 3 kids.
i tried everything to lose the weight and was having a very difficult time. my joints hurt, it was hard to breathe at times and i was always tired.

my doctor tested my thyroid (a simple blood test) and discovered that i have hypothyroid disorder (this slows your motabolism down)

now i take one small pill a day and exercise a little, and try to watch what i eat and the pounds are just melting away.....about at the rate of 5 or more pounds a month.

i have more energy and feel great!

so, i would suggest asking your doctor about testing your thyroid and also about depression as your description sounds like it could be either one or possibly something else.

dont settle for only getting your syptoms treated, you need to find out what is the underlying cause of your symptoms.

good luck to you

Calories!!! UGH!! Too many, too little, where's the happy medium?

I gained 80lbs with my son. He is now 4 months old and I have only lost 40lbs of it and I'm MISERABLE. I know I would be a better person to be around if I could lose the weight but I'm breastfeeding so it's very confusing and difficult. Too little calories and my son starves and I gain weight, too many and i gain weight. How can I figure out how many calories is good for me to lose weight and breastfeed healthily. I try to exercise on my yoga ball with my son, walking is painful because my feet are all messed up from the pregnancy and we live in a shady neighborhood which makes it hard to go out safely with my son. Sounds like a lot of excuses, I know, but I'm really just trying to find a healthy balance and it's not so easy. What exercises do you suggest for a mom stuck at home, hardwood floors, rheumatoid arthritis and a 4 month old?

Weight Watchers online worked for me.

My friend has RA also - you should have a physiotherapist/occupational therapist recommend some good exercises for you.

Good luck!

What are the best foods to eat to lose weight fast (along with exercise)and still not be hungry?

I am getting older and wish to drop about 40 to 50 lbs. Should I lift weights or walk ? . I have a bad knee (arthritis) and can't walk for that long without it being very painful. And, is there a web site for seniors who want to begin a weight lifting program?. I know this is a lot but I just can't seem to find out any other way.

You should do a combination of lifting weights and walking for maximum fat loss!! If walking for long periods hurts you, consider breaking it up, like walking a little in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening.

As far as food goes, some good foods to lose weight and still be full are whole wheat toast with a little peanut butter, bananas, almonds (just the serving size), plain oatmeal with fruit or peanut butter mixed in, lean proteins like chicken and fish (not breaded) It's also best to eat 5-6 little meals throughout the day, which makes you less likely to get hungry.

Good luck!

What would be a recommended form of exercise for someone with osteo-arthritis?

I have been told that swimming is good (crawl rather than breaststroke) as it is a weightbearing exercise. Apparently anything else seems to potentialy exacerbate the problem: Cycling is bad for the knees, any form of running, jumping, skipping etc. is too load bearing again. What about trampolining? Any other ideas?
Apparently Bob, breaststroke is bad for the hands and knees because the joints are rotated/twisted in this swimming style - hence the suggestion about front crawl...

A physiotherapist will be the right person to ask for a particular case.
There is no better answer than that. He needs to check the state of the person. How are their lungs? Has done exercises in the past? Does it have any current cardiovascular problem? Have been in a surgery? So many questions for one particular case. A professional will check all before recommending. ok?
As for general knowledge water exercises are good for old people that want to gain some strength in bones.

How well do corticosteroid injections help knees with oseoarthritis? Anyone try it?

I have had severe arthritis in knees for 8 years. They are swollen and painful from years of standing on concrete on the job. I've taken glucosamine, chondroiten and all those remedies that help renew the cushion between bones, and I exercise by walking regularly. Stairs are out of the question unless I take them one step at a time as a toddler would. I'm in my late 50's.
I'm of normal weight for my height. I never eat junk food or sweets, so my diet is not a problem.

Cortisone's secondary effects often limit its usefulness in the treatment of OA. Multiple injections of cortisone may actually speed up the process of degeneration. Also, repeated injections increase the risk of developing septic arthritis. Because of this, most physicians use cortisone sparingly, and avoid multiple injections unless the joint is already in the end stages of degeneration, and the next step is an artificial knee replacement.

However, there is a new type of injectable medication available called hyaluronic acid. Doctors inject three to five doses into the joint over a one-month period. The medicine helps lubricate the joint, ease pain, and improve people's ability to get back to some of the activities they enjoy. Some people have had good results for up to eight months after getting these treatments.

How Common is Hip Arthritis?

Hip Arthritis

What is the primary form of hip arthritis?

An average of 8 per cent of the population develops rheumatoid arthritis and 12 per cent from osteoarthritis, making arthritis in all its forms one of the most universal disorders in the West. Arthritis by itself is a $10 billion industry.

Osteoarthritis appears to be the most general type of arthritis affecting the hip? This is a degeneration of the joint which is called -wear-and-tear arthritis. This condition is recognized by progressive eroding of the hip joint cartilage. As the cartilage is impaired by the damaging effects of hip arthritis, the bone lay bare and is exposed inside the joint.

What are the common characteristics of hip arthritis?

Symptoms of hip arthritis seem to evolve as the disease worsens. An fascinating fact with arthritis affecting the hip is that not all symptoms get worse progressively over time. Quite often, patients report good episodes and bad episodes and that symptoms fluctuate with changes in the weather. This information is important to understand because evaluating the symptoms of hip arthritis from one day to the next cannot correctly represent the overall deterioration of the arthritic disease.

The common characteristics of hip arthritis include:

-Pain with mobility

-Limited field of motion

-Rigidity in the hip

-An apparent limp when walking

Who develops hip arthritis?

Hip arthritis often inflicts patients over 50 years of age. It is more common in women and men who are overweight. Weight reduction helps to diminish the symptoms connected with hip arthritis. There is also a inherited predisposition of this disease; meaning hip arthritis tends to run in families. Additional dynamics that may contribute to developing hip arthritis include stress to the hip and fractures to the bone surrounding the joint.

What treatment is available for hip arthritis?

Management for hip arthritis must start with the simplest procedures, and work towards the other more involved, maybe even including surgery. Not every treatment is suitable for all patients, and we recommend that you make an appointment with your health practitioner to determine which remedies are the best solution for your arthritic hip condition.

-Weight Loss

This is undoubltedly a very critical remedy, yet it is actually the least frequently prescribed treatments. When the joint sustains less weight, all activities will become less {{{painful|agonizing|unpleasant}}.

-Walking Aids

If you use either a cane or one crutch in the opposite hand of the affected hip, it will help cut back the demand on the affected joint.

-Physical Therapy

Strengthening and toning muscles surrounding hip joints might help decrease the extra weight on the hip. Protecting against atrophy involving the muscles is a vital aspect in maintaining functional flexibility of the hip joint.

-Activity Modification

Limiting certain activities may be required, and learning new exercise methods may be helpful. Aquatic exercise is an excellent option for patients who have difficulty with mobility.

-Anti-Inflammatory Medications Anti-inflammatory remedies (NSAIDs) are usually prescribed. Nonprescription drugs help in pain treatment, and reduce inflammation.

-Joint Supplements (Glucosamine)

Glucosamine seems to be non-toxic and may be successful in management of arthritis. Unfortunately, study involving joint supplements has been rather insufficient.

-Complete Hip Replacement Surgery

During this surgical procedure, the cartilage will be removed, then a metal and plastic implant is inserted in the hip area.

Evaluation of a patient with hip arthritis must begin with a physical assessment and X-Rays. These can serve as a theory to assess further examinations and determine deterioration of this condition.

Arthritis Diet and Exercises for Arthritis Pain Relief

Diet and exercise are an important part of overall health. In many diseases, your diet can affect the frequency and severity of your symptoms. There are many foods that can trigger the onset of arthritis symptoms. Extra weight can also increase the onset of arthritis symptoms. If you suffer from arthritis, it is important that you maintain a healthy weight in order to decrease the onset of symptoms. If you are overweight, this will cause extra pressure on joints such as the spine, hips, and knees – the main joints that support your body.

In order to manage your arthritis, it is essential to maintain a healthy diet. Studies have shown that the best arthritis diet for most patients is one that is low in protein and high in carbohydrates. Fruits and vegetables should be an important part of your arthritis diet because of the vitamin content. As with many illnesses, there are also foods that can trigger arthritis symptoms and should be avoided.

Foods to Avoid in Arthritis

The following foods can trigger the onset of symptoms and should be eliminated from your arthritis diet – or used as little as possible:

• Milk and dairy products

• Flour

• Sugar

• Red meat

• Butter and margarine

• Chocolate

• Sugar

• Foods containing sugar – such as syrup, honey, and jelly

• Caffeine

A Balanced Diet for Arthritis

It is necessary to maintain a healthy, balanced arthritis diet for your overall health and to decrease the symptoms of arthritis. Many foods can trigger the inflammation associated with arthritis – and these foods should be avoided as often as possible. With any diet, portion size is one of the key ingredients to a successful diet. Some foods on the avoid list can be consumed in small quantities without adverse effects. It is important that you eat a variety of foods – fruits, vegetables, breads, and meats.

Different types of foods have different nutritional values and a combination is important in order to obtain the greatest benefits from these foods. Some things can be successfully consumed in moderation, such as alcohol, sodium, and sugar. As with any diet, you should avoid too much fat and cholesterol. Be sure your arthritis diet includes foods that will help with your overall health by providing the necessary vitamins and that your diet will help you to maintain a healthy weight. Pay attention to portion sizes and avoid overeating, which can cause you to feel less energetic and can cause you to gain extra weight, which will increase the pressure on the joints.

Arthritis Exercises

Along with a healthy arthritis diet, a regular exercise regimen is essential for your overall health. Exercise can help to keep the joints from stiffening and can decrease the onset of stiffness and inflammation associated with arthritis. It is important that you maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes a healthy diet and regular exercise – not only for your overall health, but to help in the management of your arthritis symptoms.

Septic Arthritis Information

Septic arthritis is an inflammation of a joint caused by a bacteria infection other than gonorrhea. It may also occur when the joint is directly infected with bacteria during injury or surgery. Septic arthritis can occur at any age. When considering children, it occurs at a higher rate in those under 3 years of age, with the hip, knee and ankle being the most common joints affected. Septic arthritis may affect any joint but is most frequently found in the knee, hip, shoulder, wrist, elbow, and finger joints. Approximately 20,000 cases of suppurative arthritis occur in the United States each year. From age 3 to adolescence, Septic arthritis is uncommon, at which point incidence will increase again. Septic arthritis is often seen in the elderly, immunosuppressed and those with chronic inflammatory arthritides.

The onset of the symptoms is usually rapid with joint swelling, intense joint pain, and low-grade fever. Septic arthritis in the hip may be experienced as pain in the groin area that becomes much worse if the patient tries to walk. In the majority of cases, there is some leakage of tissue fluid into the affected joint. Risk factors for Septic arthritis include a simultaneous bacterial infection, chronic illness, diseases or medications that operate on suppression of the immune system, intravenous drug abuse, rheumatoid arthritis, sickle cell disease, artificial joints, recent damage to a joint leading to bruising/inflammation, or recent joint arthroscopy or other invasive surgery. Septic arthritis should be suspected when one joint (monoarthritis) is affected and the patient is febrile.

Septic arthritis must be diagnosed quickly and treated with antibiotics. The antibibiotics are continued orally (usually two antibiotics for six weeks and then one for a further six weeks). In immunosuppressed, gentamicin and flucloxacillin is used Rest, immobilization, elevation, and warm compresses may help relieve pain. Performing exercises for the affected joint aids the recovery process. Prophylactic (preventive) antibiotics may be helpful for high-risk people. Empirical Antibiotics - Discuss with microbiologist. Intravenous flucloxacillin and fusidic acid for at least a week. Drainage of the joint and arthroscopic washouts are helpful in relieving pain. Immobilize joint and then physiotherapy started earlyu to prevent stiffness and muscle wasting.

Septic Arthritis Treatment Tips

2. Rest, immobilization, elevation, and warm compresses may help relieve pain.

I need to lose 30 pounds, how to do it?

I'm 16 years old and 130 pounds, but I'm only 5'0.

I have been recovering from a chronic illness which has been present for the last 4 years. During this time, my immune system weakened a lot, and my metabolism is at an all time low. I also have a condition where my collagen is disformed, and has led to arthritis. (But that isn't stopping me from losing the weight, I'll try any exercise!) I was basically on bed rest this whole time, and went from 100 lbs to 130 lbs. Now that I'm feeling better, I need to lose it!

My parents are freaking out trying to get me to drop the weight, but they aren't helping me at all! I've been trying everything, from exercise to diet plans, but nothings working!

How should I lose 30 lbs? Any exercise plans? Diet plans?

My mom tried the South Beach Diet.You are supposed to eat a healthy snack every 3 hours between mealtimes.This is because your metabolism slows down in between meals but the snack keeps it up and running, making it easier to lose calories.I suggest that you drink lots of water, preferably 8 cups a day, and maybe get some fiber powder.If you don't or can't get powder, try these foods.
* Legumes (lentils, dry beans and peas)
* Other vegetables
* Fruits
* Brown rice
* Whole grains (wheat, oats, barley)
They help you digest your food and prevent many diseases, making you healthier.This allows you to exercise more, creating more weight loss.Trying a sport, jumping on a trampoline, swimming, and jogging are all good ways to get active.You could join one of those weight loss sites such as weight watchers for encouragement.You could also try and see how long you can exercise.Play with a younger cousin or sibling to make their day better and your too!
