As someone with a lot of joint problems that have led to increasing weight gain due to inability to keep up with other forms of excercise that tend to cause injury, I was so excited to learn about rebounding! After a lot of research, I decided to start with the best rebounder I could find here in South Africa (rather than buying a cheap one that I wasn't happy with). It definitely was an investment, but I'm happy to say that the Bounti Deluxe 2.0 Rebounder has exceeded my expectations. I'm so glad it arrived already assembled, and all I had to do was put on the legs, which took less than 30 minutes from opening the box to being able to jump.
After using the rebounder for about 3 weeks (maybe 5 days/week), I can already tell a difference in my strength and endurance. I started out the first week only being able to do a few minutes at a time, but on week 3, I can go for two rounds of 10-15 minutes each with a little break in between. While I haven't lost weight yet, I feel much stronger and some normal daily activities that used to be painful no longer are! I don't get out of breath as quickly, so I know I'm getting some good cardio benefits plus getting stronger. I can see and feel a difference in my shape even though it's not showing on the scale yet. And the best part is I've been able to excercise consistently for 3 weeks without injury! It's also really great to be able to do short workouts and see benefits... I think some other things I've tried in the past required so much time and demand on the joints that I'd rarely get to that point before an injury put me out for some weeks and I had to start again. Loving that with rebounding (basically still only doing the health bounce with minimal variatations to get stronger and build up my cardio), I'm already seeing the benefits in such a short time. It makes me excited to keep jumping! Exactly what I've been looking for!
