Boost your mood at Bounce Inc. and say goodbye to the blues!

Besides burning fat, boosting your metabolism and working just about every cell and muscle in your body, did you know that bouncing on a trampoline also has incredible benefits for your brain and mental frame of mind?

When you bounce on a trampoline, your entire body works twice as hard to defy gravity as well as the forces of acceleration and deceleration, and this has a positive impact on every cell, muscle and organ in your body. This is because the act of bouncing helps to speed up the circulation of oxygen around the body, which increases alertness and helps to improve mental performance. In fact, one of the most beneficial ways to move your body for better brain health is to bounce on a trampoline! Who would have thought something so simple could be so powerful for the human body…

And the best part? Bouncing is fun! You can’t help but smile when you jump – which makes it an excellent activity to help alleviate the symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Here are just a few more ways that bouncing has a positive effect on brain health:

• Jumping improves the quality of relaxation and sleep. And, did you know that good sleep helps to remove toxins in your brain that build up while you’re awake? The more you sleep, the sharper your mind – and exercise helps to improve sleep quality.

• Just a few minutes of bouncing improves the ability to concentrate, focus and solve problems.

• Bouncing can also improve memory and learning abilities. This is due to the improved oxygenation of cells throughout your body and brain which allows for increased memory retention and learning capacity. Bonus!

• Bouncing allows you the chance to take time out for yourself and boost your confidence as you learn new ways of bouncing and moving without limitations.

• The act of bouncing in all directions improves coordination between the proprioceptors in the joints, the transmission of nerve impulses to and from the brain, plus the transmission of nerve impulses and responsiveness of the muscle fibres in your body.

• Experts have also noted that bouncing helps to stabilise the entire nervous system. This is wonderful for both adults and children as it helps to bring down cortisol levels and increase your ability to deal with environmental, physical, emotional and mental stress. It’s an extremely ‘grounding’ activity for children of all ages who struggle with sensory processing issues.

• Vigorous exercise (such as trampolining) plays a major role in balancing hormones and boosting critical neurotransmitters responsible for our emotional wellbeing.

• The combination of fun exercise with the release of endorphins through physical activity can help you to gain more perspective, feel better about life in general and simply let go!

And, even more astoundingly, bouncing regularly can help decrease or alleviate the symptoms of these diseases and conditions:

• Cerebral Palsy

• Autism

• Alzheimer’s Disease

• Dementia

• Depression and anxiety

• Learning disabilities

Bouncing helps to fit all your wellbeing ‘puzzle pieces’ together…

How? Well, this fun, yet effective activity encourages a healthier diet, (those who exercise regularly tend to eat more nutrient-dense foods), improves sleep habits and reduces overall stress levels. This, in turn is brilliant for brain health because we need to eat well, sleep more and stress less to feel our best!
