Albert Carter is the pioneer of Rebound Exercise and the founder of Rebound AIR, Inc. He is currently the Lead Designer of the best built most innovative rebounders on the planet. Al attended Oklahoma State University on a full scholarship for wrestling. He completed his college work as a full scholarship wrestler at the University of Utah, qualifying twice for Olympic competition in wrestling. He was all-around gymnastic champion in Montana, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas. In 1974 and 1975, his Gymnastic Fantastic professional trampoline team gave over 500 performances to more than half a million spectators. Recognizing that his extraordinary good health and superior strength were connected to his work on the trampoline, Carter set out to discover why the human body reacts so positively to rebounding. He developed the Dyna-Bound, a home-sized rebound exerciser and published his book, The Miracles of Rebound Exercise, in 1979. Rebounding was the springboard. The Healthy Cell Concept presented in The New Miracles of Rebound Exercise and The Cancer Answer is the result of over a decade of research on all the components necessary to perfect health. As a lecturer and educator, Carter has appeared on national television in the U.S., Australia, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. In 1983, by special invitation of the Hong Kong government, Carter was retained to teach the 35,000 members of the police and fire departments The Healthy Cell Concept and the benefits of rebounding. He has presented his concepts to numerous medical groups worldwide. Today, Carter is recognized as the world's greatest authority on rebound exercise.
