Description
- Start by standing with one foot in front of the other; toes of left foot touching heel of right foot. Now, hold this position for 30 seconds...with your eyes closed. Not easy, right? Stability, steadiness, equilibrium: all add up to balance. Regardless of who you are, balance plays an important role in your life. Yet, most days we take our balance-ability for granted.
- The up and down motion of bouncing employs the effects of gravity, stretching and strengthening your intercostals (those muscles located between the ribs).
- Creating more air space between your ribs accommodates greater lung expansion; better lung capacity effectively moves more oxygen into your lungs.
- The more efficiently your heart pumps, the more efficiently your lungs perform the oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer. Not only is rebounding an easy way to help your entire cardiovascular system grow stronger-it's also fun and invigorating!
- Balance is established by maintaining your center of gravity over your base of support (also known as feet). The balance equation includes vision, the vestibular system (the internal 'gyroscope' in your inner ear), and your proprioception system. Simply put - it's your body's sensory system that processes and coordinates sensations of touch, pressure, and vibration - muscle activities that perceive your body parts' relative positions to each other. These sensory tools also send your body and brain signals and feedback about your body's position in space.
