Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Alright, Carolyn, thanks. I didn't know if you had a " routine " that you used for your warm-up or not.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 oh! im glad this thread popped back up again...LOL. this whole time, ive been wanting to add that when one bounces on a rebounder, you are to push your feet down into the mat. therefore you do not end up jumping up very high in the air. i find the pushing feet down/pulling up the knees action to be intense. so in this sense, it is different from bouncing on a regular trampoline. :*carolyn. sweetmare2001 wrote: > > > > > I've heard of those, but do they get your HR up?

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi Bee and all, I recently purchased a rebounder and would like to know what improvements people have noticed using it. I read how it assists the lymphatic system and can aid digestion. I was also wondering how often and for what length of time is it ok to use? I was a dancer growing up and then became a gym rat after college. So, I have the tendency to over do it when it comes to any type of exercise. Would it be ok to use everday for a couple of minutes or should we limit to a few times a week? Also, what is the best time of day to rebound? Do you think it would be helpful to do it before of after meals? One last thing, if you have issues with cortisol can exercise make it worse? Many thanks for your help!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hi Jess, Oops, I forgot to give you rebounder timing and frequency. Start with 2 minutes 3 times a day and do that for 5 days and increase it by 2 minutes 3 times a day. Every 5 days after that, increase the time by 2 minutes 3 times a day to a maximum of 10 minutes 3 times a day. 1st 5 days: 2 minutes 3 times a day. Day 6-10: 4 minutes 3 times a day. Day 11-15: 6 minutes 3 times a day. And so on. Bee > > Hi Bee and all, > > I recently purchased a rebounder and would like to know what improvements people have noticed using it.
