Low Impact Exercise
take
the jarring out of jogging!
The main disadvantage
jogging is the physical stress on lower limbs and feet. "G"
forces at work are incredible and can actually QUADRUPLE a jogger's
weight factor. For example, a 150 pound person while jogging can exert
as much as 600 pounds downward pressure on weight bearing joints each
time a foot hits the ground.
Using a trampoline
takes up to 80% of the stress off your weight-bearing joints. Using
a rebounder (a small trampoline) is an wonderful option for seniors,
physically-challenged, those recuperating from accidents or injuries.
It's also excellent exercise for those who have been sedentary and
are starting an exercise program. For more information about rebounders,
