Rebounding is one of the most healthful and convenient aerobic exercise methods around. I get on mine almost every day.

What it is
The Needak Rebounder isn’t your normal trampoline. It’s designed to be healthy in 30 different ways; it does amazingly healthy things for your cells and gives you a great work-out at the same time. It’s also a healthy exercise for children and senior citizens.

Options and features
The company uses springs that are made to give gently. It isn’t jarring to the body so it’s healthier for your spine. The mat you bounce on gives just the right amount of support, is resistant to ultra-violet rays and doesn’t absorb moisture. The legs don’t screw in either. To fold it up for easy storage or travel you just pull the legs out, which are on cables so they stay attached, and fold the Rebounder in half. It even comes with a carrying case for easy transporting. If you like something to hold onto while you bounce you can get the optional portable stabilizing bar. If you’d like to increase your work-out or make it more interesting you can exercise to one of the videos for adults or children. I haven’t used the videos yet but it sounds like a great way to put some variety into your work-out. It comes with the carrying case, the book "Rebounding to Better Health" and the "Immune System" VHS.

Healthy benefits
Benefits of Rebounding from Needak's website: "Rebounding is an exercise that can reduce your body fat; firms your legs, thighs, abdomen, arms, and hips; increases your agility; improves your sense of balance; strengthens your muscles over all; provides an aerobic effect for your heart; rejuvenates your body when it’s tired, and generally puts you in a state of health and fitness."

Options
The rebounders come in several versions, some folding and some not folding. There is also a folding, platinum edition with its own blue carrying case.

My experience
I really love my rebounding work-outs. I feel good while I’m doing it and after I’m finished. I’ve noticed that I can exercise on it longer than my old trampoline since I would get tired out more easily with the old one and couldn’t exercise as long.

Children
It also keeps the kids occupied and helps them expend excess energy while getting a good workout and contributing to overall health. I love that it helps drain the lymph system and keeps the kids healthy with less colds.

Cautions
I think that doctors recommend that pregnant women not bounce on rebounders. And before starting any new exercise routine you should check with your doctors or health care practitioners.

Conclusions
This Rebounder is an amazing piece of exercise equipment that I highly recommend. (Make sure you read and follow the operating and care instructions.) It’s easy on the body and gives the whole system a great work out. It’s especially good to have in the winter when it’s cold outside and therefore hard to get a good work out. It’s also small so it can fit in an apartment and I like being able to fold it up for storage or to carry it to my mom’s so I have it for visits.
