First Time Rebounder with thoughts and a question...

[Fit_mommy]

Hi. So I got my rebounder yesterday and tried it out today for the first time. I noticed that my feet were hurting me when I was on it...he said something about swelling at first...is that what the uncomfortable feeling was from? I just want to make sure I don't injure myself doing something wrong!

I felt all of the muscles in my lower body engaged from abs to calves! I was amazed! Normally when a work out claims to "engage/work your abs" when it's not an ACTUAL ab routine, I am hard-pressed to feel squat, but this time I KNOW my abs were engaged! :+

So I think I'll like it but it seems like it may take a goodly amount of time and patience to become proficient at it...Did you all find this to be true and do you have any tips, or hints to make the learning curve a bit easier on this one?

TIA Ladies!

Hey Wendy -

What types of w/o, exercises are done on the rebounder? I have one I have never used, (except the boys bounce on it) and think I might like to actually to use it. TIA

Well I only did the basic basic work out that shows you the "core moves" or basic moves that the rest stem from. They do hi/lo, kickbox style, ab routine, hip-hop dance...all kinds of stuff! There are MANY work outs available. Lots of folks here also use the rebounder to aid in Cathe work outs during hi-impact to be kinder to the joints. When I am better at it, I would like to try using it for some of Cathe's highet impact/non-step work outs myself.

HTH!

Thanks. I can see me bouncing off & knocking myself out cold. But I think I'll give it a try soon.
