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!

I had bought the book on the strength of the seemingly unanimous five-star reviews. It became clear within minutes that this is the proverbial caveat emptor. One is left wondering how many of these reviews are planted by friends and/or relatives because - anyone with half a brain is able to quickly determine that the book is mostly rubbish. It is a self-published job, amateurishly produced and even more amateurishly written. It has 96 numbered pages, but chapter 1 only starts on p. 11 and the last chapter ends on p. 82. In between you have another 13 pages of blah testimonials with photos of those giving them - likely the author's idea of flattering all her friends ("Oh look, I'm in a book"). Need I say that all the photos, besides being of execrable quality, are well nigh useless on the instructional front? The author is a "certified reboundologist". Correspondence course, anyone? She is "dedicated to...assisting people to care for their Holy Temples for...planetary healing". 'Nuff said?
She endorses a single manufacturer of Rebounders whose name she can't spell right (p. 78). Be warned.

The book was very informative and easy to read. It gave very helpful information in obtaining results. I especially appreciated the numerous pictures included to show how the rebounders are used.

I bought this book on a whim and it was NOT A GOOD BUY!!!! Recently I got a mini trampoline (rebounder) because a friend suggested it would help with weight loss. I figured this book would give me an exercise plan or a good workout to follow, it did neither. The book is basic and not any more helpful then me telling you what you already know, jump up and down on the trampoline and eventually you'll lose weight by actually doing something involving exercise. I didnt learn any new tips I didnt already know and if you seriously are interested in this book, let me know and I'll just give it you the copy I wasted my money on!!!!

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!!!!

Very good; brought out points I didn't know before; more people should know about this simple way to stay healthy.

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 little book met and exceeded my needs. It has prompted me to get back on my mini tramp or rebounder and I am already feeling the benefits.
