Rebounding back into Life…

Today this granny came back all jazzed up with a new haircut… I had spent the morning ‘volunteering’ with the local Maternity Home (an offshoot of the Pregnancy Care Centre– called Chartis House, it reaches out to homeless pregnant women who need an oasis within the desert of hard-knocks life– women who are in recovery from drugs and the street-life) where P. used her exemplary hair-cutting skills and gave me a great ‘do’. I walked in and jumped on to the rebounder in my office for a few minutes of bounces. You can read about the benefits of ‘cellular exercise’ in the book Looking Good, Feeling Great, or you can just take it from me that rebounding is a great way to build up your cardivascular fitness.

I bought my Cellerciser from the inventor David Hall and have been extremely happy with it. It folds up so that I can take it with me when I go to stay with my grandkids or when I go to our Church’s annual week of camping (where I camp in a motel room haha). It has great bounce, unlike the cheap-y mini-trampolines that can actually injure your back when you jump on them. It is also constructed with special materials in the springs and the “skin” so as to be practically un-wreckable. You can read/here more about it here.

If you already have a rebounder that works for you but you aren’t using it, maybe you need some help with a workout? Looking Good, Feeling Great has a mass of great simple workouts, but if you would like something on DVD that gives you a little more of a workout, then I would suggest you might want to check out the First Timers; Urban Rebounding featuring J. B. Berns. Something about that beat really gets you working those cells– but in a nice way that doesn’t kill us grannies!

If you want to check out the good rebounders on eBay, click below… if the specific auction is over, just do a search for “rebounders”. Enjoy yourself– life is short and sweet!
