Astro-Durance® Bungee Fitness is a resistance motion-based exercise that creates a form of acceleration that causes the accelerating person to experience a force acting in the opposite direction to the acceleration. For example: One client may say, “when the bungee pulled me down and back up fast, I experienced a rush I’ve never felt before!” That’s the G-Force vibration in action. Because Astro-Durance Bungee Fitness training is anti-gravity and motion based, it is the ultimate in low impact exercise, with the added benefit of increased blood and lymphatic flow.

Patty Cummings, the creator of Astro-Durance Bungee Systems chose the name “G-FORCE” resistance training to be used interactive with Bungee Fitness because of the actions performed in many of the movements that involve free fall that naturally allow gentle g-forces to be felt that rev the cardio in seconds. These g-forces create vibrations that allow the blood and lymph to start moving rapidly throughout the body, getting much needed oxygen in and out of every cell and to the brain.

Despite the name, G-Force is not a fundamental force that can be measured with an accelerometer. In the case we are describing as a result of use in Astro-Durance Bungee Fitness Systems, the g-force accelerations indirectly produce weight, therefore, any g-force can be described as a “weight per unit mass”. When the g-force acceleration is produced by the surface of one object being pushed by the surface of another object, the reaction force to this push produces an equal and opposite weight for every unit of an object’s acceleration in relation to free fall. The types of forces involved are what revs the cardio in seconds and cause the rapid increase in blood and lymphatic flow.

As it applies in objects, g-forces are transmitted through objects by interior mechanical stresses. In our case, a bungee supported person is the object that receives gentle g-force pressures when in free fall or other fast movements. Generally, the user is in control of how fast they dive or jump therefore, the free fall affects can be controlled by the user. The user also has the ability to stop performing the action at any time, thereby they maintain control. The user also has the safety of the bungee attached to the harness so, if for some reason they do lose control, they are protected from hitting the floor by the bungee which will keep them intact. The result is a revved up blood and lymphatic flow that continues its’ natural cycle. With the Astro-Durance Bungee System, it is all “organic”. It is helping the body to do what it does naturally through exercise by allowing the body to move fast enough to achieve it. All with no added pressure on the joints and pain free.
