I have found the book and it is 94 pages x 2 sides, so what I will do is photocopy it a couple of times and hope to get a copy to anyone who wants it by the end of next week.

Does that sound OK?? You can look it up on the Amazon site, it is called Rebounding for Health writen by Margaret Hawkins.

Mail me your addresses, or if you prefer, your work address

Thanks Jano - I'll get back to you when I've got the rebounder - can't wait.

I preseume it plays OK then.... ordered a belly dancing tape for my friend from America and it was all gobbledigook LOL

I am trying to talk Kevin in to buying me one... he can't see the point because he says I have got zillions of square miles of moorland to walk across so why would I want to exercise indoors!!

I am persevering though (??nagging??) - is the one from Argos any good? Does it come with instructions on how to use it??

Sarah all I can say is that I have the Reebok one and it is very sturdy and is silent. The Argos book states that you can't use theirs if you're over 16 stones (so you're ok there) I seem to think that somewhere here somebody said that the Argos one squeaked. I may well be wrong in that assumption though.

WHERE'S MY CARDIO BOUNCE VIDEO??

It only squeakes or creekes due to the fact that it is kept in the Garage and my tumble dryer is on every night. (and the fact that my great weight keep jumpting on it)

Dont rebounders get a bit boring? Do you just jump up and down on them?

Isnt it better to jump on the ground? Coz with a rebounder your doing less work arent you?

What other CHEAP (as in under £30) excersize equipment have you lot got that you could recommend?

chi chi its better to jump up and down on a rebounder than on a floor that way there is no strain on the joints or impact

Juno (or anyone with the Argos rebounder) - does it come with instructions??

Kevin has got to go to a 'boys night out' on Friday and is feeling guilty about it cos Fridays are our 'date' evenings - you never know, I might be able to persuade (??nag??) him in to it when we go shopping on Sunday, but I have to be fully armed with all the details....

Hi Sarah

No, It doesn't come with any instructions but I have a book which I am in process of copying for Delaney and TQ. It is quite useful when starting out as it gives the benefits, some moves and details of posture etc.

I am sure you could get DH to get you one (and earn more points at the same time LOL) and I will gladly send you a copy if you wish.

Chi Chi jumping on a re-bounder is just about twice as effective as jumping on the floor!!!

Janet

Thanks for the offer, Janet - but let me see if I can 'persuade' him in to getting me one before you go to the trouble of copying the book for me, although I would love a copy if I do manage to acquire one.

How come? That makes no sense! You only need to put about half as much effort in coz the rebounder helps bounce you back up again! Im confused (doesnt take much! Lol!)!

Look on any search engine at the benefits of rebounding and it will explain to you why it is much more benficial to jog on a rebounder than on the ground besides the fact that there is less chance of injury.

There is an equation about jumping on a rebounder for so many minutes is equivalent to jogging so many miles and I can't remember for the life of me what it is. I have asked Stef to find out, but I think she is tied up with other things at the moment.

When I get chance I'll look it up again. Believe me it is true.. It is something to do with when you jump on the ground it is solid but when you hit the tramp there is nothing solid to hit to force you back up again. A rebounder is not like a full size tampoline that ejects you into the sky, it is much tighter sprung than that and it takes effort to leave the canvass.

I'll have to come back to you on it, plus the fact it is much more fun than jogging on the ground.
