Everything You Need to Know About the 5 Tibetan Rites 

What they are 

Benefits 

How to 

Safety 

Bottom line 

The Five Tibetan Rites are an ancient yoga practice that consists of a sequence of five exercises performed 21 times a day. 

Practitioners report that the program has many physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. These effects are thought to restore a person’s vitality and strength. Due to these benefits, the Five Tibetan Rites are traditionally known as the “Fountain of Youth.” 

Let’s explore what the five rites are, how to perform them, and the benefits of this practice. 

What are the 5 Tibetan Rites?  

The Five Tibetan Rites are thought to be more than 2,500 years old. They were reportedly created by Tibetan lamas (monks), or leaders of Tibetan Buddhism. 

In 1985, the rites were first introduced to Western culture in the book “Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth” by Peter Kelder. This book, which describes the program as “youthing,” explains the exercises in detail. 

The practice of these exercises is based on the body’s energy. According to practitioners, the body has seven energy fields, or vortexes. These fields are called chakras in Hindu. 

It’s said that these fields control parts of the endocrine system, a network of glands and organs that regulate many of the body’s functions, including the aging process. 

Practitioners say youth and vigor can be achieved when these energy fields spin at the same rate. People practice the Five Tibetan Rites in order to achieve this. 

What are the benefits?  

There’s limited research on the benefits of this practice. In general, they’re based on anecdotal reports by practitioners of the Five Tibetan Rites and the opinions of medical professionals and yoga instructors. 

Reported benefits include: 

Relief from joint pain and stiffness 

Improved strength and coordination 

Better circulation 

Reduced anxiety 

Better sleep 

Improved energy 

A youthful appearance 

How to do the 5 Tibetan Rites 

While each rite is meant to be practiced 21 times a day, you can begin by doing them less frequently. 

During the first week, practice each rite 3 times a day. Add 2 repetitions per rite the following week. Continue adding 2 reps per rite each week until you’re doing 21 rounds of each rite every day. 

Rite 1 

The purpose of the first rite is to speed up the chakras. It’s common for beginners to feel dizzy during this exercise. 

Stand up straight. Stretch your arms outward until they’re parallel with the floor. Face your palms down. 

While staying in the same spot, slowly spin your body in a clockwise direction. Without bending your head forward, keep your eyes open and cast toward the ground. 

Do 1 to 21 repetitions. 

Spin as many times as you can, but stop when you feel slightly dizzy. You’ll be able to spin more over time. It’s best to avoid excessive spinning, which is said to over stimulate the chakras. 

Rite 2 

During the second rite, it’s important to practice deep rhythmic breathing. You should continue the same breathing pattern in between each repetition. 

To do this rite, you’ll need a carpeted floor or yoga mat. 

Lie flat on your back. Place your arms at your sides, palms on the floor. 

Inhale and lift your head, moving your chin toward your chest. Simultaneously raise your legs straight up, keeping your knees straight. 

Exhale and slowly lower your head and legs to the starting position. Relax all your muscles. 

Complete 1 to 21 repetitions. 

If you have difficulty straightening your knees, bend them as needed. Try to straighten them each time you perform the rite. 

Rite 3 

Like the second rite, the third rite requires deep rhythmic breathing. You can also practice this rite while closing your eyes, which helps you focus inward. 

Kneel on the floor, knees shoulder-width apart and hips aligned over your knees. Straighten your trunk and place your palms on the back of your thighs, below your buttocks. 

Inhale and drop your head back, arching your spine to open your chest. 

Exhale and drop your head forward, moving your chin toward your chest. Keep your hands on your thighs during the entire rite. 

Do 1 to 21 repetitions. 

Rite 4 

The fourth rite, sometimes called Moving Tabletop, is also done with rhythmic breathing. Your hands and heels should stay in place during the entire exercise. 

Sit on the floor and extend your legs straight ahead, feet shoulder-width apart. Put your palms on the floor at your sides, fingers facing forward. Straighten your trunk. 

Drop your chin toward your chest. Inhale and gently drop your head back. Simultaneously lift your hips and bend your knees until you’re in a tabletop position, with your head gently tilted back. Contract your muscles and hold your breath. 

Exhale, relax your muscles, and return to starting position. 

Complete 1 to 21 repetitions. 

Rite 5 

The fifth rite involves both the Downward-Facing Dog and Upward-Facing Dog poses. For this reason, it’s often called Two Dogs. This move also requires a steady breathing rhythm. 

Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. Plant your palms in front of you. 

Extend your feet behind you, toes curled and shoulder-width apart. Straighten your arms and arch your spine while keeping the tops of your legs on the ground. Drop your head back into Upward-Facing Dog. 

Then, inhale and lift your hips, moving your body into an upside down “V” shape. Move your chin toward your chest and straighten your back into Downward-Facing Dog. 

Exhale and move back into Upward-Facing Dog. 

Do 1 to 21 repetitions. 

To support your lower back, you can bend your knees when moving in between poses. 

Safety tips 

Like all exercise programs, the Five Tibetan Rites should be done with care. Start with gentle movements and a low number of reps. 

Take extra precaution if you have: 

Heart or breathing problems. Before trying these exercises, talk to your doctor to find out they’re safe for you to do. 

Neurological disorders. Disorders like Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis can cause poor balance. If you have one of these conditions, these exercises may not be safe for you to perform. 

Conditions that cause dizziness. If you’re prone to dizziness, talk to a doctor before trying the first rite. The spinning motion may aggravate various conditions, including vertigo, circulatory issues, or nausea from medication. 

Pregnancy. The spinning and bending movements may not be safe if you’re pregnant. 

Recent surgery. The rites may cause complications if you’ve had surgery within the last 6 months. 

The bottom line 

The Five Tibetan Rites, or the “Fountain of Youth,” are a series of five yoga poses. It’s a traditional practice that’s been done for more than 2,500 years. People perform these rites with the intention of restoring youth and increasing vitality. 

For best results, it’s recommended to regularly perform these poses. You can do them alone or with another exercise program. 

If you have a health condition or are new to exercise, be sure to check with your doctor before trying these moves.

What is rebounding? 

Rebounding is a type of aerobic exercise that is performed while jumping on a mini-trampoline. Jumps can be fast or slow, and can be mixed with rest or aerobic stepping. 

Rebounding can help work the muscles in the legs, increase your endurance, and strengthen your bones, among a number of other benefits. This type of exercise is gaining popularity because it’s gentle on the joints but allows you to work your cardiovascular system without taxing the body. 

Read on to learn about the benefits of rebounding, plus safety tips and more. 

Why you should try rebounding 

Rebounding is a low-impact cardiovascular exercise. It’s generally appropriate for people of all ages, from children to older adults. 

Following are some additional benefits of rebounding: 

Works the abdominal (core), leg, buttock, and deep back muscles. 

May help improve endurance 

May stimulate the lymphatic system. Rebounding may help your body flush out toxins, bacteria, dead cells, and other waste products. 

May help improve balance, coordination, and overall motor skills. 

Supports bone density, bone strength, and bone formation, while decreasing bone resorption, so it may be a good option if you have osteoporosis. Bouncing puts small amounts of pressure on the bones, which helps them grow stronger. 

May support pelvic floor health, according to anecdotal reports. Bouncing works the muscles of the deep core that help prevent urinary incontinence and stabilize hip joints.

Safety tips 

As with any exercise, it’s a good idea to ask your doctor before you start rebounding. While mini-trampolines do help absorb some of the force you might experience with traditional land exercises, like running, this type of exercise may not be appropriate if you’ve had previous surgeries or have other medical concerns. 

When using a mini-trampoline: 

Check to ensure that your trampoline is in working order and on a stable surface before each workout to reduce risk for falls or other injury. 

Move the trampoline away from the wall or other objects, like furniture. 

Be sure to do different types of moves on your trampoline so you don’t overuse the same muscles each time you work out. 

Consider purchasing a trampoline with a handlebar for extra stability and balance. 

If you have small children, store your trampoline away when not in use or otherwise be sure to supervise children who may play on or around it. 

Stop jumping immediately if you notice any shortness of breath, pain, or other warning signs with your health. 

You may feel a bit dizzy or lightheaded after your first few times on a mini-trampoline. Your body may just need some time to adjust to this new type of movement, but you should still stop working out if you feel faint or dizzy. If these feelings continue for several workouts, contact your doctor. 

How to get started 

To try rebounding on your own, you’ll need to purchase a mini-trampoline for home use or join a gym that provides them. 

If you plan to purchase one, keep in mind that there are many different types of trampolines. Be sure to choose an adult model that is small enough to fit in a corner of your home. It may be helpful to double check measurements before ordering. 

What to look for in a mini-trampoline 

The ideal trampoline for rebounding should have sturdy, stable legs. The circumference often falls somewhere between 36 and 48 inches. 

It should be able to hold adult weight, at minimum 220 to 250 pounds. You’ll likely notice that larger trampolines can support more weight. 

Quiet performance, meaning the springs don’t make noise when you bounce, is another nice feature. 

If you’re short on space, you may want to consider a foldable model that easily stows away. There are also some mini-trampolines that come with a handlebar, which can be handy if you’re a beginner. You may even come across a few that come with a built-in tracker to record things like your jumps per minute and calories burned. 

How to rebound 

Warmup 

Begin with a few minutes of easy jumping to warm up your muscles. The idea when you start is to get used to the sensation of jumping. It’s not something you do in your everyday life. 

The proper way to jump isn’t what you’d necessarily do naturally. You want to try to stomp down on the trampoline’s surface. And you don’t need to jump very high, just one to two inches is fine. Check out this video for some pointers. 

Basic jog 

A basic jog on the trampoline is a good beginning exercise. It involves keeping your back straight or, alternatively, leaning slightly backward and lifting your knees in front of you one at a time as you jog in place. Your arms should pump at your sides like they do when you’re running on the ground. 

If you’re a beginner, you may only want to lift your knees a couple inches. Once you’ve built up strength, you can progress to high knees, where your thigh becomes parallel to the ground below you. 

Advanced jog 

Once you get the jogging form down, you can move around on the trampoline. Begins with a basic jog, and then move to a wider stance. You can even move your arms above your head as you continue jogging. 

As the workout progresses, jogs from one side of the trampoline to the other. Moving from side to side can help activate different muscle groups. 

There are many video routines to consider. 

Jumping jacks 

Jumping jacks on a rebounder aren’t like normal jumping jacks. When doing jumping jacks on a rebounder, you’ll want to stomp down as you move your legs in and out. 

Your torso should be bent slightly forward and your arms don’t need to go overhead. Instead, move them in and then out to your sides as you power down with your legs. 

Continue this motion for 2 to 3 minutes. 

Pelvic floor bounce 

To work your pelvic floor on the rebounder, place a soft, squishy exercise ball between your knees. Then, begin slowly bouncing as you breathe into your pelvis. It may help to place your hands on your pubic bone to focus on this area. 

Breathe out as you squeeze your inner thighs together and bounce for 2 to 5 minutes total. Start for a shorter amount of time and extend the time as you build strength. 

Intervals 

While you can do any of these workouts for any length of time, alternating intense effort with recovery effort may help you burn more calories and improve your overall cardiovascular fitness. 

Try jumping with hard effort for 20 seconds and resting or jumping with light effort for 10 seconds. Repeat these intervals for 7 more times. 

As you get stronger, you may increase your interval length to a minute or more. 

Weights 

Once you’re comfortable with jumping, you can increase your effort with a higher intensity workout by adding weights. 

If you decide to add weights, start by holding light hand weights (2 to 3 pounds) for only a few minutes and work your way up to heavier weights and a longer duration. 

 

How often should you rebound? 

There’s no set guideline for the number of days to incorporate rebounding into your routine. A 2018 study showed that participants who exercised on mini-trampolines for as few as three days a week saw big benefits, like increased running speed. 

How long you jump each session is really up to you and your fitness level. You may get many benefits with as little as 15 to 20 minutes of exercise on a mini-trampoline. But, if you’re just starting out with rebounding, you may want to begin with shorter workouts and build as you adjust. 

The takeaway 

All you need to start rebounding is a basic trampoline. You can find workouts online for free on sites like YouTube, making this a budget-friendly workout. 

Whether you’re looking for a low-impact routine or for motivation to kickstart your fitness goals, rebounding may be just what you need to bounce some life back into your exercise routine.

How Writing Your Own Eulogy Can Help You Follow Your Heart and Live Your Best Life 

We’d prefer to pretend as though we lived forever and do everything in our power to make that a reality. We think our impermanence is a bad thing — but if you take the time to reflect on your own death, even doing something as crazy as writing your own eulogy, it can provide you with invaluable gifts. 

By contemplating on your own impermanence, you can gain an incredible sense of perspective and clarity that can help you decide what you want to do with your life as well as the urgency to move you to action to follow your heart and accomplish those goals and dreams. 

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. 

Many of us live out our life unsure of what we want to do, who we are, or who we want to be (depending on how you look at it). We never take the time to gain clarity. The result is that we live out our life going wherever the wind blows us and end up passing with regrets. 

But an interesting thing happens when we reflect on our own death: things become crystal clear. 

I don’t presume to say that this exercise will work the same for everyone, but I’ve yet to see someone it didn’t have a profound effect on in any case. 

Here are the steps: 

Step 1: Imagine your own death 

First, you need to imagine your own death. I wish I could put that a little softer, but really, there’s no value in sugar-coating the exercise. 

No matter what you believe, to imagine what it will be like when our body is sitting lifeless in a coffin while our friends and family sit around it, contemplating what life will be like without us, is a pretty intense thing to think about. 

However, to first contemplate on your own death is key for this exercise to work, so do your best to go all the way and imagine your funeral and every aspect of your life with you removed– your home, your work, and imagine your loved ones and how they’ll feel and react to your death. Imagine what will happen with you gone. 

There are no rules here, so you can take thirty minutes, a day, or a weekend for the imagination part of this exercise. Whatever you do, at least give yourself a good small block of time to really dive in and imagine this fully. 

Step 2: Write your eulogy 

For those unfamiliar, a eulogy is a piece of writing which praises someone, typically someone who has just passed away. 

Generally, a eulogy reflects back on the person’s life and what they accomplished. The kind of person they were, what they did for others, and the lessons that specific person reading it learned from the deceased. 

In the same way, you’ll write your eulogy. However, because you’re obviously living and breathing you’ll be writing your own eulogy thinking about what you want to have accomplished once you pass. Imagine what you want people to say about you when you’re gone, how you want people to feel about you, and what lessons you want to impart to those you care about and the world at large. 

Again, give yourself a fair amount of time to do this. I think a minimum amount of time necessary is one hour, but you can take a day in nature to block out distractions and focus for maximum effect. 

Step 3: Work backward (set goals, make plans) 

At this point, you’ve had a bit of a wild ride. The good news is the hard part is done and your job is now to use this newfound knowledge to your advantage to begin taking action on your now clarified goals and dreams. And the first step in that process is to work backward. 

The unfortunate part of all this is you have no idea when you’re going to die, but the likelihood is after doing this exercise you also now realize the value of every minute you have alive and how you should make the most of it no matter what, so start by working backward and figuring out when would be a reasonably believable time frame for accomplishing each of your new major goals (or goal). 

Once you have this information, work backward and figure out what you’d need to accomplish to make this goal happen. Break this information down into time-chunks starting with the year, then quarter, then month, week, and even down to the day. 

By breaking down your goals into smaller and smaller chunks in this way you gain great clarity about what it takes to accomplish your goals and this clarity has an incredible way of motivating you because you see clearly the path to accomplishing your goal. In a few words, you now see your goal as doable and this helps motivate you. 

Step 4: Take action (and never forget) 

You’ve taken the time to reflect on your life, contemplating who you want to be and what you want to accomplish, written your eulogy, created a plan to match, and have broken down your goals into bite-sized chunks you can take action on. Now that your plan is in place, all that’s left to do is take action. 

Never forget what it felt like to contemplate on your own life and what each minute of life really means to you. And use this as fuel for following your heart and living your best life. 

 A life of no regrets.

  • The US has the highest rate of infant and child mortality of any developed country…
  • And also claims the highest number of recommended (or mandated) “shots.”
  • In some areas of the US, 1 out of every 34 children now has some form of autism.
  • These shots contain mercury, aluminum, aborted human fetal cells, formaldehyde, and MSG… among other things.
  • So many people have been injured by these shots that there is a separate “court” set up to deal with loss of life and permanent injury… 
  • And Big Pharma is protected from having to pay any compensation for the damage they cause.
 

This is just the tip of the iceberg…

 

Did you know there is a group of board-certified doctors who have banned together to educate the public on the truth about this new pandemic and the new shots? Many of them have been fired for speaking out for patient safety.

Everything You Need to Know About the 5 Tibetan Rites

Bottom line

 

The Five Tibetan Rites are an ancient yoga practice that consists of a sequence of five exercises performed 21 times a day.

 

Practitioners report that the program has many physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. These effects are thought to restore a person’s vitality and strength. Due to these benefits, the Five Tibetan Rites are traditionally known as the “Fountain of Youth.”

 

Let’s explore what the five rites are, how to perform them, and the benefits of this practice.

 

What are the 5 Tibetan Rites? 

 

The Five Tibetan Rites are thought to be more than 2,500 years old. They were reportedly created by Tibetan lamas (monks), or leaders of Tibetan Buddhism.

 

In 1985, the rites were first introduced to Western culture in the book “Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth” by Peter Kelder. This book, which describes the program as “youthing,” explains the exercises in detail.

 

The practice of these exercises is based on the body’s energy. According to practitioners, the body has seven energy fields, or vortexes. These fields are called chakras in Hindu.

 

It’s said that these fields control parts of the endocrine system, a network of glands and organs that regulate many of the body’s functions, including the aging process.

 

Practitioners say youth and vigor can be achieved when these energy fields spin at the same rate. People practice the Five Tibetan Rites in order to achieve this.

 

What are the benefits? 

 

There’s limited research on the benefits of this practice. In general, they’re based on anecdotal reports by practitioners of the Five Tibetan Rites and the opinions of medical professionals and yoga instructors.

 

Reported benefits include:

 

Relief from joint pain and stiffness

 

Improved strength and coordination

 

Better circulation

 

Reduced anxiety

 

Better sleep

 

Improved energy

 

A youthful appearance

 

How to do the 5 Tibetan Rites

 

While each rite is meant to be practiced 21 times a day, you can begin by doing them less frequently.

 

During the first week, practice each rite 3 times a day. Add 2 repetitions per rite the following week. Continue adding 2 reps per rite each week until you’re doing 21 rounds of each rite every day.

 

Rite 1

 

The purpose of the first rite is to speed up the chakras. It’s common for beginners to feel dizzy during this exercise.

 

Stand up straight. Stretch your arms outward until they’re parallel with the floor. Face your palms down.

 

While staying in the same spot, slowly spin your body in a clockwise direction. Without bending your head forward, keep your eyes open and cast toward the ground.

 

Do 1 to 21 repetitions.

 

Spin as many times as you can, but stop when you feel slightly dizzy. You’ll be able to spin more over time. It’s best to avoid excessive spinning, which is said to over stimulate the chakras.

 

Rite 2

 

During the second rite, it’s important to practice deep rhythmic breathing. You should continue the same breathing pattern in between each repetition.

 

To do this rite, you’ll need a carpeted floor or yoga mat.

 

Lie flat on your back. Place your arms at your sides, palms on the floor.

 

Inhale and lift your head, moving your chin toward your chest. Simultaneously raise your legs straight up, keeping your knees straight.

 

Exhale and slowly lower your head and legs to the starting position. Relax all your muscles.

 

Complete 1 to 21 repetitions.

 

If you have difficulty straightening your knees, bend them as needed. Try to straighten them each time you perform the rite.

 

Rite 3

 

Like the second rite, the third rite requires deep rhythmic breathing. You can also practice this rite while closing your eyes, which helps you focus inward.

 

Kneel on the floor, knees shoulder-width apart and hips aligned over your knees. Straighten your trunk and place your palms on the back of your thighs, below your buttocks.

 

Inhale and drop your head back, arching your spine to open your chest.

 

Exhale and drop your head forward, moving your chin toward your chest. Keep your hands on your thighs during the entire rite.

 

Do 1 to 21 repetitions.

 

Rite 4

 

The fourth rite, sometimes called Moving Tabletop, is also done with rhythmic breathing. Your hands and heels should stay in place during the entire exercise.

 

Sit on the floor and extend your legs straight ahead, feet shoulder-width apart. Put your palms on the floor at your sides, fingers facing forward. Straighten your trunk.

 

Drop your chin toward your chest. Inhale and gently drop your head back. Simultaneously lift your hips and bend your knees until you’re in a tabletop position, with your head gently tilted back. Contract your muscles and hold your breath.

 

Exhale, relax your muscles, and return to starting position.

 

Complete 1 to 21 repetitions.

 

Rite 5

 

The fifth rite involves both the Downward-Facing Dog and Upward-Facing Dog poses. For this reason, it’s often called Two Dogs. This move also requires a steady breathing rhythm.

 

Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. Plant your palms in front of you.

 

Extend your feet behind you, toes curled and shoulder-width apart. Straighten your arms and arch your spine while keeping the tops of your legs on the ground. Drop your head back into Upward-Facing Dog.

 

Then, inhale and lift your hips, moving your body into an upside down “V” shape. Move your chin toward your chest and straighten your back into Downward-Facing Dog.

 

Exhale and move back into Upward-Facing Dog.

 

Do 1 to 21 repetitions.

 

To support your lower back, you can bend your knees when moving in between poses.

 

Safety tips

 

Like all exercise programs, the Five Tibetan Rites should be done with care. Start with gentle movements and a low number of reps.

 

Take extra precaution if you have:

 

Heart or breathing problems. Before trying these exercises, talk to your doctor to find out they’re safe for you to do.

 

Neurological disorders. Disorders like Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis can cause poor balance. If you have one of these conditions, these exercises may not be safe for you to perform.

 

Conditions that cause dizziness. If you’re prone to dizziness, talk to a doctor before trying the first rite. The spinning motion may aggravate various conditions, including vertigo, circulatory issues, or nausea from medication.

 

Pregnancy. The spinning and bending movements may not be safe if you’re pregnant.

 

Recent surgery. The rites may cause complications if you’ve had surgery within the last 6 months.

 

The bottom line

 

The Five Tibetan Rites, or the “Fountain of Youth,” are a series of five yoga poses. It’s a traditional practice that’s been done for more than 2,500 years. People perform these rites with the intention of restoring youth and increasing vitality.

 

For best results, it’s recommended to regularly perform these poses. You can do them alone or with another exercise program.

 

If you have a health condition or are new to exercise, be sure to check with your doctor before trying these moves.

What is rebounding?

 

Rebounding is a type of aerobic exercise that is performed while jumping on a mini-trampoline. Jumps can be fast or slow, and can be mixed with rest or aerobic stepping.

 

Rebounding can help work the muscles in the legs, increase your endurance, and strengthen your bones, among a number of other benefits. This type of exercise is gaining popularity because it’s gentle on the joints but allows you to work your cardiovascular system without taxing the body.

 

Read on to learn about the benefits of rebounding, plus safety tips and more.

 

Why you should try rebounding

 

Rebounding is a low-impact cardiovascular exercise. It’s generally appropriate for people of all ages, from children to older adults.

 

Following are some additional benefits of rebounding:

 

Works the abdominal (core), leg, buttock, and deep back muscles.

 

May help improve endurance

 

May stimulate the lymphatic system. Rebounding may help your body flush out toxins, bacteria, dead cells, and other waste products.

 

May help improve balance, coordination, and overall motor skills.

 

Supports bone density, bone strength, and bone formation, while decreasing bone resorption, so it may be a good option if you have osteoporosis. Bouncing puts small amounts of pressure on the bones, which helps them grow stronger.

 

May support pelvic floor health, according to anecdotal reports. Bouncing works the muscles of the deep core that help prevent urinary incontinence and stabilize hip joints.

 

Weight management options have evolved

Safety tips

 

As with any exercise, it’s a good idea to ask your doctor before you start rebounding. While mini-trampolines do help absorb some of the force you might experience with traditional land exercises, like running, this type of exercise may not be appropriate if you’ve had previous surgeries or have other medical concerns.

 

When using a mini-trampoline:

 

Check to ensure that your trampoline is in working order and on a stable surface before each workout to reduce risk for falls or other injury.

 

Move the trampoline away from the wall or other objects, like furniture.

 

Be sure to do different types of moves on your trampoline so you don’t overuse the same muscles each time you work out.

 

Consider purchasing a trampoline with a handlebar for extra stability and balance.

 

If you have small children, store your trampoline away when not in use or otherwise be sure to supervise children who may play on or around it.

 

Stop jumping immediately if you notice any shortness of breath, pain, or other warning signs with your health.

 

You may feel a bit dizzy or lightheaded after your first few times on a mini-trampoline. Your body may just need some time to adjust to this new type of movement, but you should still stop working out if you feel faint or dizzy. If these feelings continue for several workouts, contact your doctor.

 

How to get started

 

To try rebounding on your own, you’ll need to purchase a mini-trampoline for home use or join a gym that provides them.

 

If you plan to purchase one, keep in mind that there are many different types of trampolines. Be sure to choose an adult model that is small enough to fit in a corner of your home. It may be helpful to double check measurements before ordering.

 

What to look for in a mini-trampoline

 

The ideal trampoline for rebounding should have sturdy, stable legs. The circumference often falls somewhere between 36 and 48 inches.

 

It should be able to hold adult weight, at minimum 220 to 250 pounds. You’ll likely notice that larger trampolines can support more weight.

 

Quiet performance, meaning the springs don’t make noise when you bounce, is another nice feature.

 

If you’re short on space, you may want to consider a foldable model that easily stows away. There are also some mini-trampolines that come with a handlebar, which can be handy if you’re a beginner. You may even come across a few that come with a built-in tracker to record things like your jumps per minute and calories burned.

 

How to rebound

 

Warmup

 

Begin with a few minutes of easy jumping to warm up your muscles. The idea when you start is to get used to the sensation of jumping. It’s not something you do in your everyday life.

 

The proper way to jump isn’t what you’d necessarily do naturally. You want to try to stomp down on the trampoline’s surface. And you don’t need to jump very high, just one to two inches is fine. Check out this video for some pointers.

 

Basic jog

 

A basic jog on the trampoline is a good beginning exercise. It involves keeping your back straight or, alternatively, leaning slightly backward and lifting your knees in front of you one at a time as you jog in place. Your arms should pump at your sides like they do when you’re running on the ground.

 

If you’re a beginner, you may only want to lift your knees a couple inches. Once you’ve built up strength, you can progress to high knees, where your thigh becomes parallel to the ground below you.

 

Advanced jog

 

Once you get the jogging form down, you can move around on the trampoline. Begins with a basic jog, and then move to a wider stance. You can even move your arms above your head as you continue jogging.

 

As the workout progresses, jogs from one side of the trampoline to the other. Moving from side to side can help activate different muscle groups.

 

There are many video routines to consider.

 

Jumping jacks

 

Jumping jacks on a rebounder aren’t like normal jumping jacks. When doing jumping jacks on a rebounder, you’ll want to stomp down as you move your legs in and out.

 

Your torso should be bent slightly forward and your arms don’t need to go overhead. Instead, move them in and then out to your sides as you power down with your legs.

 

Continue this motion for 2 to 3 minutes.

 

Pelvic floor bounce

 

To work your pelvic floor on the rebounder, place a soft, squishy exercise ball between your knees. Then, begin slowly bouncing as you breathe into your pelvis. It may help to place your hands on your pubic bone to focus on this area.

 

Breathe out as you squeeze your inner thighs together and bounce for 2 to 5 minutes total. Start for a shorter amount of time and extend the time as you build strength.

 

Intervals

 

While you can do any of these workouts for any length of time, alternating intense effort with recovery effort may help you burn more calories and improve your overall cardiovascular fitness.

 

Try jumping with hard effort for 20 seconds and resting or jumping with light effort for 10 seconds. Repeat these intervals for 7 more times.

 

As you get stronger, you may increase your interval length to a minute or more.

 

Weights

 

Once you’re comfortable with jumping, you can increase your effort with a higher intensity workout by adding weights.

 

If you decide to add weights, start by holding light hand weights (2 to 3 pounds) for only a few minutes and work your way up to heavier weights and a longer duration.

 

 

 

How often should you rebound?

 

There’s no set guideline for the number of days to incorporate rebounding into your routine. A 2018 study showed that participants who exercised on mini-trampolines for as few as three days a week saw big benefits, like increased running speed.

 

How long you jump each session is really up to you and your fitness level. You may get many benefits with as little as 15 to 20 minutes of exercise on a mini-trampoline. But, if you’re just starting out with rebounding, you may want to begin with shorter workouts and build as you adjust.

 

The takeaway

 

All you need to start rebounding is a basic trampoline. You can find workouts online for free on sites like YouTube, making this a budget-friendly workout.

 

Whether you’re looking for a low-impact routine or for motivation to kickstart your fitness goals, rebounding may be just what you need to bounce some life back into your exercise routine.

Eating Documentary by Mike Anderson

The American diet is suicidal. More people are dying of eating too much than eating too little. People are dying of heart attacks and diseases because of following “healthy” guidelines. People assume that we know more now about diet than those living in the 1800s, however, they were not dying as much because of what they ate. Animal foods became more affordable and changed everything for the new era. Animal foods became more accessible. 

By the year 2000 heart disease became the #1 killer in America. The latest nation on the planet. 85% of adults suffer from hardening of the arteries. Half of the entire population will die prematurely due to heart disease. What Americans consider a healthy diet is actually a train wreck to the body.

The best thing an animal diet does is kill people. Animal foods are pure cholesterol, which clog vessels. Plant foods open arteries. 

Heart disease can be completely reversed with a plant-based diet. 

American heart association diet guarantees heart disease. One single bad meal will show injuries to the arteries.

Plant based diet prevents obesity, hypertension, common cancers, adult diabetes etc. 

The safest level of cholesterol has to be under 150.

Drug companies create profitable drugs that do not cure the disease but allow Americans to remain on the same diet that is killing them. Dying of heart disease is not normal.

Most cancer patients die of chemotherapy. A successful cancer treatment is defined as surviving surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for 5 years. If you die at year 6, it is still considered successful. 

The war on cancer has been extremely ineffective and the search for sure is completely misguided. 

The cure for cancer is the immune system. A strong immune system. The average person produces some cancer cells in their body every day. That is normal, however, a weak immune system won’t stop them from multiplying. By age 50 almost half of all women have breast cancer and men prostate cancer. Our immune system has been incredibly weakened by our diet. 

The cure for cancer is inside of you. Plant foods are the only foods that boost the immune system. Trust your humble grocery store for organic fruits and vegetables. 

Treating disease is profitable, preventing disease is not. 

Drugs only treat symptoms.

There is no medical cure for breast cancer. Most women who have Breast cancer die from breast cancer. 

Puberty has dropped from age 17 to age 12 and menopause 4 years later. Starting a menstrual cycle at 11 is not normal. The onset of puberty should be delayed.

Type 2 diabetes can be reversed in one week with a change in diet by eliminating concentrated starches & concentrated sugars. 

-

In order to keep profits high in the medical industry they have created health myths that aren’t true such as milk helps create strong bones and that we need meat for protein. It’s a brainwashing myth and American eating habits are programming.
