A rebound-type exercise device is provided which allows an individual to perform a sit and bounce exercises that, among other things, stimulate the lymphatic circulation. The exercise device includes a support frame which supports a seat assembly by means of four springs. The support frame includes a pair of laterally spaced apart side support frames which are interconnected by a head tube. Each side support frame includes a generally horizontal ground-engaging base tube, a rearwardly disposed, generally vertical rear support tube extending upwardly from the base tube, and a generally L-shaped arm which interconnects a front portion of the base tube with the upper end of the rear support tube. The exercise device of the present invention may be advantageously utilized in an exercise methodology intended to stimulate lymphatic circulation, wherein an individual seated within the support frame on the seat assembly continuously moves upwardly and downwardly in vertical harmonic motion through a range of two to eight inches. Such bouncing-type motion utilizing the exercise device of the present invention allows an individual, in a seated position, to become more fit by improving his or her endurance, strength/toning and lymphatic circulation in a safe and secure manner.

A process for improving the impact resistance of a coated plastic substrate, particularly those polymers having a high refractive index, comprising applying an aqueous polyurethane dispersion as a primer layer to at least one surface of the plastic substrate, at least partially curing the aqueous polyurethane dispersion by air drying at ambient temperature, applying a coating composition over the polyurethane primer layer, and curing the coating composition to form an abrasion resistant hard coat. Preferably, the aqueous polyurethane dispersion is air dried at ambient temperature for less than one hour before application of the abrasion resistant coating composition. The process provides an impact enhancing, abrasion resistant coating system having strong interfacial adhesion that is preferably transparent for application onto preferably transparent plastic articles, such as ophthalmic lenses and safety eye wear.
