3. Standing Bouncing:
The key is to find a rhythm that enables you to bounce rhythmically for several minutes. Let your
body weight in combination with the mat and springs do the work: there is no need to try to
achieve a powerful bounce.
Bouncing should be a very enjoyable feeling.
An intermediate exercise version is to use the entire C-hoop, as
described briefly above.
If you do not yet feel confident enough to stand upright, use the
C-hoop as a support:
• Rotate your position 180 degrees, such that you have the
opening at your back.
• Lean over the C-hoop and rest your elbow it.
• Your hand will also rest on the C-hoop in front of you.
• The combined support of the mat and the C-hoop should
distribute a significant amount of the weight mass from your
body and allow you to experience bouncing.
Again, bounce softly, trying your best to achieve an appropriate
rhythm.
Do not exercise until you feel exhausted: first try a few minutes,
and then increase gradually from one day to the next.
A program of 10-15 minutes per day is sufficient to keep your body active.
Do not try to exercise for long periods, especially at the beginning.
