Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Hey All: , exerciser wannabe, here. I was watching " THE SHOPPING CHANNEL " yesterday. They were selling the " Urban Rebounder " . A rebounder seems like such a fun way to exercise that I am thinking aobut ordering one. Went on-line to check the reviews. Rebounding itself got great reviews but the ones specifically on the Urban Rebounder were mixed. I checked out a few other models and now I am more confused. Needak Soft Bounce?? Reboundair?? Both look good and I have found side by side comparisons done by each company. Course who comes out on top depends on who is doing the comparison. Anyone have any advice on a model to buy, one that can be purchased in Canada? I would like one with folding legs. Those seem like good option cause then the unit can easily be stored behind a door or under a bed. A unit that totally folds seemed neat at first but then I wonder how often I would actually fold it up and have heard that some models are difficult to fold. Also, any advice on rebounding in general or good rebounding DVDs?? Thanks Have a nice day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hi , Welcome back! I hope you stick around and start working out - I know that it is hard for you to enjoy it -but you will - just keep trying to find something you like. I'm not much help in the rebounding department - but if it helps I've been drooling over a rebounder at Target for several months now! LOL! It is the Body Burner. I do plan to get it in the near future. take care, Donna --- lisatigani <ontheedge@...> wrote: > Hey All: > > , exerciser wannabe, here. I was watching " THE > SHOPPING CHANNEL " > yesterday.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Carolyn is somewhat of a Rebounder expert - Carolyn, perhaps you can list all the rebounder videos you can think of on a Word document and upload them into the Files section since thise question keeps coming up? JUST A THOUGHT! There was another rebounder exerciser here too, but I forgot her name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 This is great information Carolyn! I never thought about modifying high impact workouts that way, I just avoid them, maybe I won't need to now. Thanks for posting this!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I never knew that either (not surprising, there's a lot I don't know, more every day I notice). Or I did know (because I knew about jogging on one) but never thought to actually modify workouts like this. I'm not very out of the box on workouts, yet anyway, gotta get more comfortable and keep collecting great ideas and new information!

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hi! I'm actually holding on to Aerobox and Cathe's Kick Max for when I get the rebounder!! I can't bring myself to do all of that high impact now and I " m sure the rebounder will make it more enjoyable.
