The lymphatic system acts as the body's waste-removal network, with waste dumped into lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, and groin. Lymphocytes, white blood cells, deal with the waste, which is then dumped into the blood and eliminated via sweating, urination, and the colon. In the morning, the body’s gates are closed, preventing waste exit; movement opens them somewhat, but the rebounder uniquely opens every gate in the body. The rebounder provides a movement that activates the entire lymphatic system—the activity called the health bounce. Initially, one can do a mild bounce, while with practice, higher bounces are possible. Children naturally demonstrate this, often starting unstable but improving balance with use. The health bounce can be performed by simply bouncing, or by starting with small jumps; as you reach the height of your jump, every gate opens, and upon landing, every gate closes. Rebounding for just one minute in the morning activates the lymphatic system for the whole day, after which any movement—scratching the head, turning around—helps maintain that activation. This activity is referred to as the health bands.
If someone is unstable, they can hold onto a post or use a rebounder with a frame; however, there is a preference to avoid dependence on the frame. Even the health bounce strengthens the calves and creates a sense of a second heart. Rebounding helps establish balance, which is influenced by the bottoms of the feet and inner ear mechanisms; rebounding resets those ear mechanisms and the soles of the feet. Bare feet are best on the mat, though shoes may be worn briefly during demonstrations. Rebounding impacts every part of the body, and the three forces involved create a powerful overall effect on the lymphatic system, placing it among the most powerful forms of exercise.
For upper-body work, biceps can be strengthened by jumping with palms down, and triceps by jumping with palms up; a twisting motion can also be used to help the spine, often performing ten repetitions of each. When hands tire, one can switch to a twist. The routine includes ten biceps and ten triceps repetitions.
There is also an exercise for strengthening eyesight: while not actively jumping, focus tends to improve. The technique involves looking at a distant object, then shifting focus to a close object or tree leaves, and subsequently maintaining focus on a lamp while the surrounding objects appear to jump in the periphery. After ten jumps, the focus is shifted to the lamp, and the leaves that were still begin to jump, illustrating how changing focus can strengthen eyesight.
