Customer Reviews

a little TMI but really good.
I was really excited to start getting the most out of my new rebounder. I purchased this book expecting just new exercises to keep the workout fun. This book went beyond every expectation. Not only does it have good moves for the rebounder but 75% of the book is all about why rebounding is the best exercise for your entire body. The contents include studies conducted by NASA and the author's own research. I was pretty blown away at how incredible rebounding can be for every cell in the body. The author goes over every system of the body which can be a little dry but the last paragraphs always bring it back to the subject. Overall, I loved it!

Interesting, but more than I needed
This would be a great book if an editor had deleted about half of the text. Most of the first part of the book is the author talking about his journey of discovery. After that, he goes into great detail about cellular functions including the replication of DNA, how mitochondria function, etc.

I have a bachelor's in science so I was able to follow what he was saying, but I found it to be quite difficult to read, not to mention it wasn't very interesting.

He eventually gets to the point in each chapter where he sums up why he spent several pages explaining how the cones and rods in the eye work, or how the mitochondria function, but by that time I found that I really didn't care. The summary would have been adequate to let me know what this exercise does on a cellular level without having to wade through all the other stuff.

The last few chapters he does talk about how much rebounding you need, how efficient it is as an exercise, how it can be helpful for many different conditions, and how it's good for everyone including infants and quadraplegics. He also goes through the different type of bounces, as well as some workout routines.

I feel this book has some good information, if you are willing to either wade through or skim over the majority of the text.
