One of the exercise regimens Ben & I am going to improve through the darkest days of winter is our cardio workout.
We exercise indoors, except on some few balmy days (very rare now).Early morning, we wake up at 4:30, (Ben use the "tickle-me-Elmo" technique to wake me up & start the day with a laugh), meditate then delve into the spiritual (bible reading). The physical part follows: A few minutes of stretching before rounds of gentle bouncing up & down with the "Rebounder."
Ben does some more activity by lifting weights followed by squats (combat conditioning), while I start preparing his breakfast before he goes to work.
The rebounder is an exercise equipment that involves every joint and all cells of the body (including brain cells); unlike jogging in hard surface which put extreme stress on certain joints like the knees and ankles.
Rebounding is easy and convenient to use at home. It is an effective way of integrating physical activity into one's daily life. Some research scientists conclude that it is one of the finest exercises for the human body.
It increases the immune system, help correct mental/emotional/behavioral problem in children correcting physical imbalance, hand/eye coordination, relieving stress, releasing kinetic energy, improving circulation and general health. And much much more!
No traffic, no cars, no dogs or bad weather to contend with as in the outdoors.
Ben says that one important health benefit of cardio workout besides the heart & lungs is the COLON.
It strengthens the colon. New research reveals that physical activity like running (on a treadmill) may prevent colon cancer.
Scientists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center discovered that men who followed an aerobic-exercise regimen experienced a 13 percent decrease in "colon crypt proliferation height," a marker of colon-cancer risk, compared with those who kept their butts planted.

Exercise slows the rate of cell division in the colon. "When the number of dividing cells increases, as seen in sedentary individuals, it can lead to polyps." says lead author Anne Mctiernan, M.D.
For maximum protection, sweat 5 hours per week, the most effective amount used in the study.
Exercise, workout, jump, walk, run and sweat!
According to an old Chinese saying, there are two handy & natural doctors, your "left" and your "right leg." Use them both to improve health and prevent colon cancer. No physical exams and above all it is free!
