Trampolines are not just for kids anymore. Jumping on a rebounder trampoline is one of the most effective exercises you can do to improve your overall health. The exercise has been advocated by health enthusiasts for its positive effects on the body's lymphatic and immune systems. Rebounding involves lightly bouncing or jumping up and down on a mini trampoline. Often, individuals will perform exercises while jumping to encourage lymph fluid to flow throughout the body. Facial exercises will stimulate lymph fluid in your face.
Benefits of Rebounding
The lymphatic system carries nutrients to all the cells in your body and takes waste away from the cells. It also clears away toxins you absorb from the environment. The lymphatic system is comprised of fluid, one-way vessels and ducts. The lymph fluid is dependent upon physical exercise to move throughout the body. If this fluid does not move through the lymphatic system, nutrients are unable to be carried to cells and wastes are not removed. This condition can contribute to cancer and degenerative diseases.
Facial Benefits
Rebounding puts stress on your facial muscles because the cells are resisting the force of gravity while you bounce. This causes the cellular membrane to firm up and gain elasticity. Skin that has lost elasticity shows the effects of aging faster.
Lymph Stimulation Exercise No. 1
To stimulate the lymphatic system around your face, place both hands along the side of your upper neck where your jaw connects. While lightly rebounding, begin massaging the area in upward strokes. There are several sets of lymph nodes in your neck and along the sides of your face. Massaging them while rebounding will help stimulate lymphatic flow.
Lymph Stimulation Exercise No. 2
Another facial lymphatic exercise to do on a rebounder is to lightly tap your face with the pads of your fingers. These tapping motions will improve circulation in your face, stimulating blood and lymph fluid flow.
