Exercise: The Forgotten Remedy

From a talk at Living Springs Retreat, shared Nov 29, 2023 on Youtube]

• Today in this lecture we're going to be looking at exercise often called The Forgotten remedy because many people don't exercise and it's one of the reasons I mentioned earlier in the week why doctors have to use mesh because the muscles are so weak and they're weak through lack of use, they're weak through lack of hydration, they're weak through... lack of proper nourishment... through not being able to rest at night... they're weak because we're not getting the sunshine to get the vitamin D to allow all the minerals into the cell... not getting enough not getting enough oxygen.

• Rebounding is something I believe everyone can do and it's such a powerful form of exercise. You don't have to do it very much and if you've got a rebounder in your house and children visit where are they? They're on the rebounder. I've come to the conclusion that people get old because they stop jumping and one of the old sayings Jump for Joy Jump for life, so start jumping.

• With the rebounder [mini-trampoline] you've got this shock absorber and then it ricochets you up in the air so running on the ground can be very jarring for your hips. It can be very jarring for your knees and for your for your ankles and also your pelvis your lower back. Whereas there's no jarring on the rebounder.
