Did you know that from age 20 on, the discs in your spine lose all red blood cells? That is about the time when the growing process of your cartilage is finished. From that moment on, the only way your cartilage is nourished, is through the up and down movement of your body. This movement provides a contraction and extension of your cartilage, by which it receives nourishment from the surrounding environment. Imagine the disks of your spine. They are made out of cartilage and they act similar to a sponge: when they are pressed down on the lowest point of the bounce on a Rebounder, they release what they don't need and in the highest point of the bounce they are extended and "suck" in the nourishment from their environment.

When our bodies first evolved, we were still hunters and gatherers. The average person had to cover 15 to 20 miles per day in order to gather enough food to sustain our clans. During that time our spine received plenty of up and  down movement. Today we are left with the necessity of this movement but unfortunately our way of life does not give us nearly enough of it - unless we jog. But... is running safe? In his book "Chi Running", author Danny Dreyer points out that in any given year, 65% of all runners injure themselves!

So jogging is perhaps not exactly what we want. Especially not for those of us who have sensitive backs or injured joints. So what to do? Here comes the good news: The mat  of a high quality Rebounder, like the ones manufactured by the German company Bellicon, absorbs 85% of the impact on every bounce and leaves you with only 15%. This makes QiBounding the ideal exercise for all those who suffer from back or joint problems. With these mats, Rebounding is even safer than walking.
