'Don’t worry about the
impact - the shock is absorbed by the trampoline, not your knees.’

I’d never realized a
simple circle of metal with a bouncy centre could be so versatile … at the end I
felt incredible.
... absolutely bounding with energy and yet
under no doubts that I had undergone a seriously demanding workout. Every muscle
in my body felt stretched and toned, while my mind felt relaxed yet alert. It
was also, I had to admit, the best fun I’d had exercising in a long time.’

' Alongside skin brushing, rebounding on a
mini trampoline is the best friend you can have when it comes to banishing
stubborn lumps and bumps around your body - particularly cellulite - and giving
you a great workout without going to the gym.
I found bouncing (also called
rebounding) magic when a wheat allergy left me blown out like a barrage balloon,
two sizes bigger than normal.
I cut out wheat and bounced for about 15 minutes
every morning, watching TV, and within two months I was sleek enough to ramble
around a beach in my cossie. According to exercise coach Michele
Wilburn, who has developed the Starbound programmes based on rebounding, it boosts
all body systems and can improve blood pressure, balance cholesterol and
reduce stress.

Rebounding aerobics formats, as outlined in Starbound
programmes, are adopted by many professional athletes who include explosive
Starbounding exercise drills in training programmes, to enhance conditioning and
power, and to maximize training techniques resulting in minimum residual muscle
soreness.
'If you suffer from weak knees or are prone to
injuries, a mini trampoline — as used by David Beckham for rebounder exercise
workouts — is a great buy.
There are many rebounder exercises you can do on a mini trampoline, with a
Starbound Workout rebounder exercise DVD or Starbound instruction book.
' Sales of mini trampolines have soared since the injured England Captain was
pictured rebounding his way back to fitness
last week. Now this simple piece of equipment has
leap-frogged over high-tech, computerized gym products to becoming the most
sought-after aid to getting a toned torso...

American researchers have found that your
body has to work harder to run on a springy surface than on a treadmill, which
means that you could burn more calories — around 100 for every 8-10 minutes
spent bouncing up and down. And because your body is subjected to the force of
gravity when you bounce, it puts all cells and muscles under consistent
rhythmical pressure, which strengthens and tones the whole body.
Mini trampolines are relatively
cheap — around £50 for a basic rebounder — which is little more than
a pair of fancy trainers. Available from Starbound Products (020-7284 1918 or starbounding.com)'

‘All you need is a 40”
mini-trampoline and a few minutes a day to give yourself a healthy glow, lose
weight, lighter moods, better sleep, brighter vision, and open up your energy
flow.’
' In the 1980's mini trampolines
were very much a fashionable gym fixture, only to be quickly
overshadowed by more state-of-the-art pieces of fitness equipment.
But suddenly
mini trampoline rebounding has bounced back into fashion.The major reason
for its rediscovery - particularly in the Pilates studio - is the recognition
that it can bring health as well as fitness benefits.
Devotees claim
that, in addition to giving the heart and lungs a workout and building stamina,
bouncing boosts the lymphatic drainage system and can even help with complaints
such as lethargy, general sluggishness and constipation.
You can, in
short, bounce your way back to health, fitness and energy.'
The London
Magazine
" Wilburn’s
fitness regime changes the image of the mini-trampoline rebounder forever. No longer can
it be written off as a baby bouncer or a housewives gimmick.
Use Starbound simply as a
fitness programme with the bouncer as a central prop, or extend it into a whole
philosophy for healthy living, combining physical activity with attention to
diet,
stress reduction, and numerous complementary therapies. In all,
it’s a mix of Western exercise routines and Eastern holistic healing."
