The Benefits of Bouncercise . . . in detail
If there was ever an ideal exercise designed for the Over 50 crowd, Bouncercise is that exercise. At age 70, I have found this form of training addresses all the components of exercise recommended by physicians, trainers, and researchers advising proactive and therapeutic conditioning: endurance activities, strength exercises, balance exercise, and stretching - all in one.

Strengthens Bones and Muscles
Bouncercise stimulates and activates the muscles to build bone mass. The acceleration, deceleration, and gravity create a positive bone stress, resulting in higher bone density. Also, as the body bounces, the cell adjusts to these forces, making the cell wall thicker and stronger.
No Post-Exercise Muscle Soreness
Because of the continual stimulation of the up and down action of the Bouncerciser, the circulation that is provided results in less painful muscles due to the avoidance of buildup of the painful toxic byproducts of exercise, lactic acid as an example.
Even Tiny Muscles get a Workout
Another feature of Bouncercising on the Freedom Spring System, is that it exercises the very small muscles located through out the body, that are often ignored through conventional exercises, which mostly deals with the larger, more aesthetic muscles.
Many tiny muscles of our body may have a significant influence on our health, such as those found in the inner ear dealing with Balance; the muscles that support our intestines which have to do with our daily eliminations, are greatly benefited by Bouncercise; and the tiny muscles of our eyes.
Prevents Osteoporosis
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, “Exercises that force you to work against gravity – so called weight bearing exercises … are beneficial. Bouncercise also has the advantage of being low-impact while building bone mass. I have been Bouncercising for 24 years, and now at age 70, the physicians have told me that my bones have the density of a 40-year-old.
Stability with Flexibility
Bouncercise takes rebounding to the next level. Not only does Bouncercise offer the well-documented benefits of rebounding, but synergistically it adds body strength training with stability with flexibility. Sounds a little like an oxymoron? Well, it is a fact. One of the beauties of strength training with Bouncercise using the Freedom Spring System is that it provides the ability to develop a more flexible muscle because of the wide range of motion provided by the resistance cords in strength training movements. We can develop a dense, flexible muscle, made up of more cells (hyperplasia) verses larger cells (hypertrophy).
Improve Balance and Coordination
Bouncercise stimulates the tiny muscles of the vestibular system, which manages the body’s balance and coordination. In only a minute of bouncing, your vestibular system is stimulated approximately 100 times, having a cumulative effect. Bouncercise also facilitates release of the toxic buildup and congestion in the middle ear, responsible for equilibrium and balance as well as training the brain to develop muscular balance and coordination.
Eleanor, a lovely 84 year-old woman, had balance problems and couldn’t even stand without support. She sat on the Bouncerciser and pulled the resistance cords attached to the frame. Within two months, she was able to walk without support and bounced quite proficiently on the Bouncerciser.
Bouncercise increases circulation and cardiovascular strength by releasing the toxic buildup in the vessels of circulation system and provides more life-giving oxygen to the muscles of the heart, thereby strengthening the cardiovascular muscles. Latent capillaries in various body tissues will become stimulated and open up to decrease circulatory resistance. With the increased circulation, the increased blood flow to injured or weakened body parts will promote healing and rehabilitation.
One of the major contributors to aging and destruction of cells is the lack of oxygen. The aerobic component of Bouncercise brings oxygen to your circulatory system and distributes it throughout the body. Again, it’s like that car that doesn’t get enough oxygen in the carburetor, the fuel does not burn completely, and we get byproducts of incomplete combustion. In our body, the byproducts of incomplete metabolism, not getting enough oxygen to burn the fuel completely, releases the toxic byproducts, which destroys our cells and is responsible for accelerating the aging process.
John A. Friedrich, M.D., of Duke University, writing in the Journal of Physical Education, says that moving the muscles, especially the large leg muscles (as done in Bouncercise), aids blood circulation exceedingly.
Dr. Friedrich stated:
“the combination of the large leg muscles massaging the blood back to the heart along with the effect of diaphragmatic action very significantly enhances the total circulatory efficiency, and in the process, minimizes the stress put on the heart, inasmuch as the leg muscles and diaphragm act as auxiliary hearts by assisting in blood flow.
Stimulates the Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system produces and stores cells that fight infection (lymphatic cells) as well as the channels that carry lymph. It runs parallel with the veins and arteries, but unlike the circulatory system, it has no pump. The lymphatic system relies on body movement to open and close the one-way valves to carry lymphatic cells through the channels.
In discussing the importance of the lymphatic system, Dr. C. Samuel West, Lymphologist and author of “The Golden Seven Plus One, states:
“The tissues of the body, which comprise bones, flesh and organs, excrete waste products as a result of their daily work. These must be quickly removed, or the tissues involved will suffer damage.
When the lymphatic system is congested, the cells become deprived of oxygen, affecting the body’s ability to rid itself of its own waste material. Over time, other body systems that rely on the lymphatic system for waste removal will also become compromised, setting the stage for pain and disease.
Bouncercise activates the lymphatic system, increasing lymphocytes that will eat away diseased cells. Just a few minutes of Bouncercising may increase lymph flow as much as fifteen times.
If I chose the most important benefit of Bouncercise, this would be it. Disease does not like oxygen and it does not like a stimulated lymphatic system.
Improves the Immune System
The immune system is a complex organization of organs--highly specialized cells and even a circulatory system separate from blood vessels--all of which work together to clear foreign invaders the likes of bacteria, viruses, and toxins from the body.
The organs of the immune system, positioned throughout the body, are called lymphoid organs. The word "lymph" in Greek means a pure, clear stream--an appropriate description considering its appearance and purpose. The circulation of the lymphatic cells is through a network of ducts or tubs that have no pump as the blood system relies on the heart for circulation it vital fluid. This system requires movement or massage to transfer the defense cells to various areas of the body.
When the immune system is chronically responding to toxins, such as the mercury in our teeth, it does not always have the fortitude to deal with these agents on a day-to-day basis. For example, we may already have a cold virus in our body, but our immune system had stopped it from taking over. It is when our immune system is weakened that the cold virus is then allowed to thrive. The immune system responds to attitude. Even smiling stimulates the thymus gland, which is part of the immune system, sending out an army of T cells to the various white blood cell manufacturing sites in the body to respond to the irritation, be it a toxin, bacteria, or virus.
Removes Trapped Blood Proteins
Removes trapped blood proteins from around the cells where they hold fluid and can cause pain and disease.
Addresses Arthritis
Bouncercise increases circulation around the joints and facilitates the release of the bone-dissolving acid byproducts of incomplete metabolism resulting in lack of oxygen due to inactivity.
Increases Metabolism
Bouncercise improves the efficiency of metabolism by increasing the amount of oxygen to every cell in our body thereby facilitating the release of toxic buildup and improves nutrients in the cells. Also strength training accompanied by aerobic exercise will increase lean muscle mass, which will also increase metabolism. According to a study conducted by renowned fitness expert and researcher, Dr. Wayne Westcott, weight loss is up to three times more effective when aerobics is combined with strength training.
Builds Lean Muscle Mass
Bouncercise improves the development of lean body mass by improving metabolism thereby reducing fat buildup and improving the development of muscle fibers
Reduce Cellulite
Reduce cellulite through enhanced lymphatic stimulation - Bouncercise decreases cellulite by increasing circulation of the muscles and the release of toxic fat buildup. Strength training accompanied by aerobic exercise, the body will increase lean muscle mass and reduce fat.
Relieves Your Constipation Issues
Bouncercising facilitates the peristaltic movement of the large intestines responsible for healthy eliminations. The bouncing movement stimulates circulation in the digestive tract. Don’t be surprised if your Bouncercise workout gets interrupted.
Susan, one of my patients, who had chronic constipation issues, quietly shared with me that after her first Bouncercise workout; she experienced the biggest bowel movement of her life. Those aren’t her exact words, but the idea is there.
Strengthens Bladder Muscles
Conventional exercise will not address the smaller, more obscure muscles in the body. Bouncercise strengthens the cells of the sphincter muscles, building increased bladder control within approximately two to four weeks.
Improves Vision
The eye is a muscle. All muscles experience stimulation during Bouncercise, which supplies an environment where the perceptual system matures at a more rapid rate. Bouncing lends rhythm to the brain, which allows the eye some externally generated rhythm to rely on and then become more coordination.
My vision is greatly strained by the practice of dentistry, and I have often noticed that my vision seems clearer after Bouncercising. Part of the magic of Bouncercise is that different systems in the body are put into a mode of rhythmic environment adaptation. It is that adjustment that sharpens and exercises the system being impacted. Hence, vision, balance, coordination will all be positively affected.
