Rebounding to Better Health: A Practical Guide to the Ultimate Exercise

I just purchased a folding Needak soft-bounce rebounder (I LOVE it!) and this book was included in the shipment. I bought the rebounder simply because I thought it would be fun. I had no idea it can be a serious part of one's exercise regimen. The book (copyright October 2008) has changed my perceptions completely. It's loaded with different suggestions on how you can use a rebounder and even has pictures of the elderly using their Needak's. Without this book, I would have thought elderly bouncing was a crazy-bad idea... It states it is 68% more efficient than floor exercises of the same length, bouncing flushes out the lymphatic system and is even an ideal form of exercise for those with osteoporosis due to weight-bearing without the shock. I prefer it to a treadmill - it takes up much less space and is a fraction of the cost (And I can BOUNCE on it!). I have no experience with other rebounders which I've heard don't have as much spring, but I really love mine. Granted, the book doesn't rise to rigorous, scientific work, but I give it a 5 for opening my eyes to the benefits of rebounding and giving me a lot of suggestions for its use I never would have come up with on my own. Maybe I should have been able to, but I doubt I would have. I'm trying to get past my selfish streak and send the book to my mom so she can pass it around at her assisted living center. I just don't think most people see a rebounder as anything more than a toy for kids and this book will give them plenty to think about. And the pictures of people using their rebounders reinforces it's a viable tool for everybody.

This book is very clear in its instructions. I feel that I now know how to begin and work up to more advanced rebouding moves. I really appreciate the information presented for those folks with disabilties who can also benefit from rebounding.

This book only has 100 pages, big pictures but LOTS of great information. I didn't think I would get as much info as I did! They gave you some ideas what to do on your rebounder and how easy it is. You don't need to spend hours on it to get in good shape. This book motivated me!!!!

This is the most passionate I have ever felt about exercise. Thanks to rebounding I have lost weight and I feel super! I sleep well at night too. I look forward to my workouts and I don't feel tired afterwards. There are great beginning workout routines in this book plus an easy to understand overview of the health benefits of cellular exercise. Highly recommended!

This book is a great introduction to rebounding exercise. It provides clear explanations and pictures to show how to do the exercises. Also provides information on the benefits of rebounding. Recommended!
