Efficient
Gym Rebounder is taught entirely on a unique spring-enhanced device, this type of exercise allows the body to work harder, for a longer period of time, because the body is not absorbing the shock and stress of hard-surface workouts. This is accomplished by bringing the forces of gravity, acceleration and deceleration into vertical alignment, bouncing allows you to do less and accomplish more. In fact, just 10 minutes of bouncing on a Rebounder has the same aerobic result as over 20 minutes of jogging.

Effective
Urban Rebounding is effective because the workouts combine more than just cardiovascular movements, such as abdominal exercises, squats, lunges, push-ups and dips. In fact, by following the Urban Rebounding workout program you:
• Simultaneously work all the major muscle groups
• Take advantage of a calorie burning, cardiovascular, strength conditioning workout
• Build stamina, strength and balance.

Easy on the body
The Urban Rebounding Program is a style of aerobics that provides a surprisingly challenging cardiovascular workout without excess stress on the heart, muscles and joints. In fact, the Urban Rebounding surface enables you to do simple, low-impact workouts that build strength, cardiovascular capacity, and balance without jarring the body like other conventional exercises.

Enjoyable
Unlike any other workout the Urban Rebounding workouts are easy dance & aerobic moves which are coordinated to music. It enables you to combine a love for music and a desire to loose weight all into one.

The Benefits of the Gym Rebounder:
Dr Morton Walker, world famous lecturer end writer in the alternative health field, has outlined 30 anti-aging benefits of rebounding-any one of which might change your quality of life forever!

HELPS FIGHT FATIGUE:
Rebounding tones the glandular system to increase the output of the thyroid gland. The pituitary and the adrenals- that help to restore energy.

STRENGTHENS THE HEART:
Rebounding strengthens the heart. Increasing the G-force will cause greater contraction. The involved muscles work harder and get stronger.

NOURISHES THE HEART:
By strengthening the heart muscle, rebounding allows the resting heart to beat less often. Each beat becomes more powerful and sends out a greater surge of blood around the body to nourish its 60 trillion cells.

IMPROVES CIRCULATION:
Rebounding encourages collateral circulation-the formation of new branch blood vessels that distribute blood to the heart. This is helpful when there is a lack of nutrition to the tissues as a result of impairment of the main blood flow.

REDUCES BLOOD PRESURE:
Rebounding boosts muscles tine in the middle arterial muscles which acts as a buffer during high stress periods.

AIDS MUCSLE TRAINING:
Muscle training from rebounding also helps return blood pressure to normal levels quicker after acute stress.

LOWERS CHOLESTEROL:
Rebounding has proven to help lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

FIGHTS HEART DISEASE:
Rebounding holds off the incidence of cardiovascular disease.

BOOSTS RED BLOOD CELLS:
Rebounding increases the functional activity of the red bone marrow of the production of red blood cells. The red blood cells carry oxygen and nutrients to the tissues of the body and also help remove carbon dioxide in them.

FACILITATES OXYGEN:
Rebounding establishes a better equilibrium between the oxygen required by the tissues and the oxygen made available.

CIRCULATES OXYGEN:
Rebounding circulates more oxygen to the tissues-and where there is oxygen there cannot be disease.

INCREASE RESPIRATION:
Rebounding increases the capacity for respiration. Breathing is controlled by changes it the volume of the chest cavity brought about mainly by the muscular movements of the diaphragm. Repeated rebounding exercise accomplishes more muscular movements of the diaphragm with the consequent chest expansion.

AIDS MUSCLE PERFORMANCE:
Rebounding helps fluid move easily within the body, thus helping muscle performance and lightening the load required of the heart.

AIDS LYMPHATIC CIRCULATION:
Rebounding helps the Lymph fluids circulate throughout the entire body-which acts as your body’s internal vacuum cleaner.

PROMOTES BODY GROWTH:
Growth of the long bones is especially stimulated by rebounding due to the stimulating effect of the pituitary gland, which produces a growth hormone.

STIMULATES METABOLISM:
Rebounding provides for a better absorption of nutrients from food intake and conditions all of the body’s systems to handle energy more efficiently.

ENHANCES DIGESTION AND ELIMINATION PROCESS:
The gentle bounce exercise of rebounding has been exceedingly effective in returning natural, regular bowel movements to chronically constipated individuals.

AIDS ENDURANCE:
Rebounding expands the capacity for fuel storage, resulting in extra endurance.

REDUCES OBESITY:
rebounding diminishes body fat, improves body tone, improves muscle tone, improves the efficiency with which the body burns carbohydrates, and lowers pulse rate and blood pressure.

BUILDS ALKALINE RESERVE:
Rebounding provides an addition to the alkaline reserve of the body which may be of significance in an emergency requiring prolonged effort.

AIDS PEAK CELL FUNCTION:
Rebounding helps the body attain absolute potential of the cells through chemical function.

EASES MENSTRUAL DISCOMFORT:
Rebounding curtails the occurrence of fatigue and menstrual discomfort.

IMPROVES COORDINATION:
Rebounding improves coordination through the transmission of more impulses and responsiveness of the muscle fibers.

AIDS IN MUSCLE TONE:
Rebounding affords a feeling of muscular vigor from increased muscle tone. Healthy muscles are important to our sense of well-being, our grace, our coordination, and our energy.

BUILDS STRENGTH RESERVE:
Rebounding supplies a reserve of bodily strength and physical efficiency.

DELIVERS MUSCLE PAIN RELIEF:
Rebounding offers relief from neck and back pain, from headaches and from other pains caused by the lack of use of the various joints and muscles of the body.

MAINTAIN PEAK BRAIN FUNCTION AT ANY AGE:
Rebounding results in better mental performance, with keener learning processes.

BRINGS ON BETTER SLEEP:
Even very light, gentle rebounding allows for better and easier relaxation and sleep.

MINIMIZES THE NUMBER OF COLDS:
Rebounding helps keep the entire body with all of its variable systems in tune and minimizes the number of colds, allergies, digestive disturbances and abdominal problems.

STOPS PREMATURE AGING: rebounding can actually reverse, prevent, or diminish the hardening of the arteries. By conquering the ultimate pathology, you will keep your mind alert, skin smooth, skeleton flexible, libido intact, kidneys functioning, blood circulation, liver detoxifying, enzyme systems alive, hold memory intact, and avoid all systems of the aging process.

"This is a workout like no other! I have been a fitness professional for more than 15 years, and JB Bern’s GYM URBAN REBOUNDING is one of the best non-impact cardiovascular workouts that I’ve tried. It's safe, effective, and most importantly fun! Crunch was the first gym in the country to launch the program on a national scale, and it has been very successful at all our locations. GYM URBAN REBOUNDING was introduced to an international audience under Crunch’s programming at the World IDEA 1999 conventoin making it the hottest fitness ticket in town."

"GYM URBAN REBOUNDING is the hottest class around! It’s better than Tae Bo with a bounce."
Lisa Druxman
Fitness Director
Sporting Club at Aventine

"Bringing the program to our clubs was a great idea for both our members and instructors. Many of our members and instructors who long since moved away from the high impact floor aerobics because of the stress on their body have now come back into the studio, because of this class. They are experiencing once more the "high impact" feel with the non-impact workout that GYM URBAN REBOUNDING provides."
