| Dear Marilyn,
"Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain." - Corinthians 9:24 KJV
This issue will highlight our new web site for exercise. Marilyn and I think that rebounding is one of the most effective and enjoyable ways to gain strength and health so that we may "obtain" the prize of health.

Rebounding Testimonies
|
 "The NEEDAK® Soft-Bounce™ rebounder is the standard of rebounders! Well made, comfortable and practically indestructible it is the only rebounder I recommend in my books' exercise section." Marie Miczak, D. Sc., Ph.D.
"January 29th I celebrated my 67th Birthday only to be depressed by my semi-annual physical. The doctor informed me that I was 27 pounds over weight, borderline diabetic, my cholesterol was alarmingly high, and my triglycerides were off the chart. He said next to a complete overhaul, I needed to start exercising and watching what I ate. This was not a total surprise as it was evident by the clothes I wore. My once snug 33 in. jeans, had long ago gone to "Good Will" along with my 34 in. slacks, and now my 36 in. waist was begging for more breathing room. Suffering from bad knees and arthritis, running was out of the question, and even walking long distances meant an ibuprofen regiment every 4 hours. When it seemed I was at a dead end, as far as, exercise was concerned and what looked to be an early exit out of this world. A good friend suggested I try a NEEDAK® Soft-Bounce™ re-bounder. Now I have tried mini-trampolines in the past and they just didn't hold up so I was skeptical, to say the least. Let me say, the NEEDAK® re-bounder has literally been a life saver! Using the re-bounder daily for 3 weeks I was able to drop 6 pounds and two inches, without stress to my knees or body. My entire family, including the grandchildren, love using the NEEDAK® Soft-Bounce™ re-bounder, and I can hardly wait for my next check up." D.G. Winchester, KY.
"Marilyn and I do not use the Needak SoftBounce rebounder every day, but let me tell you, we use it a lot. Especially when we cannot get outside to walk our three miles a day, we jog on the rebounder. We also use Dr. Sneider's hand weights to "kill two birds with one stone" and get our weight training at the same time we are getting our aerobic workout. I've tried cheaper rebounders and the bounce is either too harsh or too weak, not to mention that they just don't hold up. Spend a few more dollars and get a top quality American engineered, and American built product made from American materials right here in America. Visit our new Rebounders U.S. website and get one for yourself today. You won't be sorry." Doug Polk, AlphaOmegaFood.com

Why Rebounding?
|
"Rebounding exercise is the best exercise in the world! Now that I've tried rebounding, I have progressed more in 2-3 months than in 3 years on the Nordic Track. My primary exercise, and the one I now recommend to my patients, especially for upper body shaping and toning, overall cell exercise and health, and just plain fun, will now be the rebounder." Dr. R. P., Nashville, TN.. Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, whose books have sold more than 12 million copies in 24 languages states that 80% of a fitness program should be aerobic in nature. He says "Aerobic exercises usually involve endurance activities which don't require excessive speed. The father of modern aerobics exercise, Dr. Cooper discovered that alternating aerobic exercise with weight training actually increased strength. His Institute of Aerobic Research documented the strength gains from resistive rebounding in 1981." A superior exercise for those that are immune compromised including cancer and MS. Rebounding stimulates healing and cleansing. Rebound author and lecturer Linda Brooks notes rebounding 2 minutes every hour "is the ideal protocol for defense against cancer. In just two minutes the entire lymphatic system is flushed," and and white blood cell count nearly triples, providing a greater defense system to destroy cancer cells. Dr. Harry Sneider and wife, Sarah, list these benefits for resistance rebounding demonstrated in their DVD Perfect Workout. - Reduces Stress
- Helps Maintain Healthy Weight
- Reduces Risk of Heart Attack
- May Prevent Some Forms of Cancer
- Improves Strength, Flexibility, Balance, and Coordination
- Delays Onset of Diabetes
- Helps Prevent Osteoporosis in Women
- Improves the Immune System
- Increases Energy
- It's just plain FUN!!
Marilyn and Doug recommend Dr. Sneider's DVD, Resistance Rebounding and use it often in our workouts. |
The Best Buy In Rebounders
|
What is so great about Needak SoftBounce rebounders? Here is a short list of considerations, though not an exhaustive one. Dr. Morton Walker describes the perfect rebounder in his article, "Jumping For Health": The Perfect Rebounder should have: - Mat material of Permatron®, resistant to ultraviolet light
- Mat material that will not stretch
- Mat material that will not absorb moisture
- Mat material that doesn't break down like other material
- Mat sewn together with 5760 stitches of high-grade nylon
- Two layers of strong polypropylene webbing stitched around the mat's edges
- Mat attached to heavy-grade all steel frame
- An oversize spring mechanism holding four-inch-long, custom-made jumbo springs which deliver a soft bounce
- Thirty-six springs made of quality wire that hold the mat to the frame shielded by a protective cover
- Individual spring mounting pins that prevent frame wear
- Tapered coils help to give extended wearability to such springs. (Untapered coils allow low-quality springs to break frequently, requiring replacement.)
- Replacement springs available directly from the manufacturer since retail distributors seldom stock spare springs
In addition, Needak says: Hidden beneath the spring cover is the Needak® hinge - time tested and virtually indestructible. It is securely welded to the frame, providing the safest, most stable rebounding platform available. The Needak® spring cover is made of a nylon cloth that is oil, water, and sunlight resistant in addition to having a rip resistant component. No inferior "leather-like" or vinyl covers for our customers. Spring-loaded legs for easy storage under a bed or behind a door. Our folding frame provides you with true portability. The Needak® warranty is the best manufacturer's warranty available for rebounders today. We are proud of our rebounder and gladly stand behind it. "Marilyn and I have dealt with Needak for several years now and they have the utmost integrity, the best service, and by far the best products. We heartily recommend Needak SoftBounce Rebounders." Doug Polk, CEO, Alpha Omega Food, LLC. See them at Rebounders U.S. now and get yours. |
