FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
Is
this really exercise? Yes. As with any form of exercise, how much energy you
burn and the benefits you get will depend on how much
you put into it. HOWEVER, with the Bounce Back Fitness
Chair, there are many things going on at the same time.
After trying it out for as little as 2 minutes, most
people comment, "Gee, I really was doing something.
I feel like I've done a lot more than I thought I was
doing." For example, while they were working their
upper arms and shoulders, their thighs, hips, and abs
were continuing to work, 70 to 90 times each minute.
Does
it really build muscle? Yes. There are exercises
for building muscles in the arms, shoulders, back and
chest. There are others for building muscles in the
abs and legs. The muscle is built gradually over time
through repetitive use. Repetition of even a low-level
activity hundreds of times each day builds strong and
healthy muscles (without scarring the muscle - see the
previous question). A 44-year-old male says, "I
have added 2 inches across my chest over a period of
4 months - all muscle. During those 4 months, I lost
10 pounds - 15 pounds of it was fat! (My body fat percentage
went down faster than my weight - the difference is
muscle!)"
Can
I do aerobics? Does it really help my heart? Yes
to both. At beginning levels of use of the Bounce Back
Fitness Chair, the heart rate will rise to 60% to 65%
of its maximum heart rate in a few minutes. The U.S.
Surgeon General, in the 1996 report, said that most
people only need moderate levels of activity (at 60%
to 65%) to help their heart. The American Heart Association
recommends moderate levels of activity 30 minutes a
day at least three times a week. For those who are more
fit, we offer combination exercises that can increase
the heart rate even more - just remember to keep the
muscles aerobic so they don't burn up!
What
do I do, just bounce? For a few
people, yes. For most people, we offer dozens
of general and specific exercises. "Just bouncing"
is what we recommend for warm-up and cool down. Abdominal
muscles are working all of the time at varying intensity.
Focus exercises include resistance work for the upper
body muscle groups. By changing position of the hands
along the side bars, all muscles in the upper body can
be worked. Legs and buttocks are worked through no-impact
running, leg lifts, toe pushes, etc. Stretching positions
can help most trouble areas, such as the hamstrings.
Stress reduction exercises help pull tension out of
the shoulders and neck. We cover most everything to
do with fitness: resistance, aerobics, stretching, stress re duction, strength building,
and having FUN!
Will
it help me lose weight? Yes. The Bounce Back Fitness
Chair helps you lose weight two ways. First, by increasing
muscle tone and your metabolism, you will burn more
calories throughout the day. Second, while exercising
aerobically, you will burn approximately 400 to 600
calories per hour, about the same as a stationary bike.
Expect weight loss due to bouncing alone to be 2 to
4 pounds per month.
Will
it help my arthritis? Apparently. We receive frequent phone calls from "Bounce Backers"
who report reduction of their pain and stiffness from
arthritis. Some even report progress to the point where
they don't feel a need for pain medication for the first
time in years.
I
am a diabetic and my feet are always cold. Will this
help? Yes. But, PLEASE, consult with your health
care professional before starting any exercise program. The combination of increasing your
heart rate during exercise, using the large muscles
of the legs, and improved oxygenation of the blood due
to deep abdominal breathing all work together to better
circulate to the extremities. Many of our customers
report feeling warmer, even report watching their feet
turn from gray to pink during a Bounce Back session.
Is
the Bounce Back Fitness Chair good for people with back
problems? Usually. But,
PLEASE, consult with your health care professional before
starting any exercise program. Orthopaedic and Chiropractic professionals have cautioned
that persons with ruptured or herniated spinal disk
conditions should not use this device. People who suffer
lower back discomfort from muscle aches often report
mild to moderate relief of symptoms, especially if strengthening
the abdominal muscles helps their condition.
My
mother is 76 years old. Can she use it? Yes. But,
PLEASE, consult your health care professional before
starting any exercise program. The oldest person to
use the Bounce Back Fitness Chair is over 90. Many customers
are in their 70's and 80's. Because you can use the
Chair gently or vigorously, and because you can sit
while gently bouncing to get ready for the next exercise,
people with less strength find the Chair easy and comfortable
to use. Give the gift of fitness - help them feel like
a kid again!
How
long should I use it? How often? For beginners,
we recommend 10 to 15 minutes at a time, once or twice
a day, for the first couple of weeks. Not only does
this help you get used to regular exercise, it gives
the lymphatic flushing a chance to cleanse your body.
Drink plenty of fluids an hour before each session,
and again after. For most people, after a couple of
weeks, you can increase the time and intensity of your
Bounce Back sessions, working up to a goal of 30 minutes
every day. "I find 10 minutes in the morning gets
me going and ready for the day. Another 30 minutes at
night during my favorite TV show gives me the exercise
I need. Some days I focus on strength work, other days
I run aerobically a lot. On the weekend, I do a little
bit of everything."
How
hard is it to put together? Easy. If you follow the instructions and do it yourself, it
should take about 10 minutes. If you have help, it may
take up to half an hour. (Go ahead, read it again. It
was a joke, but there is some truth to it!) The four
metal frame pieces only go together one way and the
screws use a standard "+" type screwdriver.
The seat comes pre-assembled. Just hang the springs
and tie the spring safety covers.
How
long will the springs last? All of our parts carry
a 1 year manufacturer's warranty. Under normal use,
the springs should last 2 to 4 years. Just like the
tires on your car, they will need to be replaced eventually.
We recommend replacing all four springs at the same
time, and, in fact, only offer springs in sets of four.
If a spring should ever stretch or break prematurely,
the safety covers that are tied to the frame will catch
you, along with the other 3 springs. That is why it
is so important to check the safety covers regularly.
