Guest guest Posted February 5, 2002 Report Share Posted February 5, 2002 Hi Folks, Well, the past posts talking about rebounders sparked my interests. Must say I've never used one. I do have a magnetic pulser which is suppose to get the lymph system moving, but I'm a little on the lazy side when it comes to using it. Still I kept feeling in was important to get the fluids moving. Knowing me, when it comes to buying exercising equipment, it would eventually be stored away and not used. About the only thing I'm consistant about is walking. Still I felt like I really should do this so I checked out Kallie's site. I really didn't want to spend the money, if I wasn't going to use it. Went to Wal-Mart instead; bought one for $19.95. Now I know there is no way it can have the quality of Kallie's for that price. However, at least I could try it out and see how I liked it. I LOVE it!!!!! Only bounced 5 minutes just to test the waters so to speak. I can't believe the difference 5 minutes made. It gave me much more energy. Went for a walk right afterwards. Usually, it takes me a while walking to get the blood pumping and the energy up. However, after doing the rebounding, the energy was already up and the walk was much more easy. All in all I had a very plesant experiece with it. Another thing I did was remove my bra while using the rebounder and left it off during my walk. I have a feeling my breast will be more sore than my legs. They did get a workout! Ha! The correlation between a woman wearing a bra and coming down with breast cancer cannot be ignored. The garment restricts the flow of blood which we all know is not a good thing. I dare say the rebounder perked me up and hopefully it will strengthen the breast muscles and perk them up also (pure vanity on my part! LOL). So if one would like to try it, $20 is a very small price to pay, and I'm sure affordable to all. Or you could probably even just jump on your bed. Loved to do that when I was a kid. BTW, this just does not feel like exercising; it's playing, and I don't even get in trouble for jumping on the bed! Thanks to all for mentioning it; it's a keeper!

I saw him at a couple of health shows, and he was incredible. He bounced on that thing all day long, with very few breaks, for two days straight, and I don't think I ever saw him out of breath. www.cellercise.com/index2.html I know Kallie sells one, and I'm sure its a good one - it doesn't really matter, as long as you buy a good one with the right mat (should *not* stretch at all), and with heavy duty springs and frame.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 Hi I found your reply very interesting and important. The Needak rebounder has the " permatron " mat. Since Dave Hall began with Needak, I suspect his " Cellersizer " will be quite comparable. The only difference that may be is that he does not have the soft bounce. I understand from my supplier that Needak is the only one with the soft bounce on which they have a patent. I am open to correction. The way to tell is: Are the springs just like regular springs being they have same diameter all of their length? The soft bounce has a jumbo spring mechanism that rises higher and sinks lower, with an estimated 20% additional shock absorption. The spring is a tapered 4 " spring. White, Ph.D., director of research and rehabilitation in the physical education department at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD), has explained how jumping for health offers a true physical strengthening effect to the muscles. He said, " Rebounding allows the muscles to go through the full range of motion at equal force. It helps people learn to shift their weight properly and to be aware of body positions and balance. " For me, the soft bounce is so much more " pleasurable " than the classic and the classic is much nicer than a Walmart variety. I think Hall is great. I have his video and it was that video that " turned my son on " to rebounding:>) My son designed his own 10 minute program from Dave's video. I just spoke with my 84 year old mother tonight who has rebounded for 10 minutes a day for five years and she told me she was willing to talk on the phone with anyone who wanted to speak with her about her experience. You can email me privately for her phone number if anyone wants it. One of the most interesting things to me is that Dr. Walter Stoll says that rebounding is the only thing he knows that will help emphysema. My 85 year old father has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and he won't use it even when I printed out Dr. Stoll's statement to give him. I know for myself that my lung capacity increased when I started using the rebounder as I could run further. I agree with , get rebounding. Here in London, Canada, we have a " Pennysaver " , a little newspaper where you can buy and sell items. I know two people who advertised in the wanted section for Needak rebounders and found them at a good price. Given the quality, even a used one is a good buy, That is just an idea for those who don't have the money to purchase new. Jumping for joy!
