* Your heart and lungs are strengthened, welcoming a healthier supply of oxygen to your cells.
* As your heart becomes stronger, you extract more oxygen for the same amount of blood.
* Your breathing capacity is expanded when you breathe more deeply and fully.
* Fluid circulation improves, carrying more wastes from your tissue spaces, enabling more efficient absorption of oxygen at a cellular level.
* Lymphatics are activated by the additional respiratory pressure.
* Activity of your red bone marrow, which produces red blood cells for carrying oxygen, nutrients and wastes, is stimulated. Five million red blood cells are released into your bloodstream every minute, and bouncing enhances their function.
* Your lungs are cleansed, so are able to perform more efficiently.
* As you become fitter, you develop more blood capillaries which enable quicker transport of oxygen to your cells, and ensure the swift removal of carbon dioxide and wastes from your tissues.
* Enzymes throughout your body are able to make better use of oxygen.
* A full spontaneous flow of breath is the best natural tranquilizer you will find. As you calm and nourish your nerves and revitalize your energy reserves, you'll find sleep patterns restored to a natural balance and tension levels in your life diminishing.
