Urban Rebounding Compilation #1 |
 I was sweating like there was no tomorrow |
| I wasnt sure if I'd enjoy this workout because I'm a bit lazy. However, I was extremely amazed! I felt like a little kid again, at first I was only doing it twice a week, but as soon as I saw the pounds vanishing I started using it everyday. I've never felt and look better. I have recommended to all my family and friends. I lost approximatly 15 lbs. in 2 6 wks. (Of course eating healtly helps too) - posted by Alexia on 3/2/2009 |

 The Series I turn to again and again |
| I've had my series of Urban Rebounding DVDs for a couple of years now and still enjoy them after all this time. The five DVDs offer plenty of variety (the only segment I don't do is the one for seniors...and I'm am in my 50s folks!)so no matter what my mood I can find a quick and energizing workout.
For those of you who have ankle problems after working out on your rebounder, that could be an effect of your rebounder. When I first got into rebounding I spent the money to buy one of the top models. That was five years ago and I feel that I've gotten my money's worth. So my advice is don't go cheap when purchasing a rebounder, buy from a manufacturer who guarantees the product FOR LIFE. A poorly made rebounder will cause you to have associated aches and pains, while a well made one will serve you well year after year after year.
As to the comments about Tracy, I love her. I always find myself laughing at her comments and actually enjoy her crazy energy. At first I was pretty turned off by her, but over time I've come to appreciate her and all the rest of the crew on the JB Burns series. - posted by Shelly on 2/23/2008 |

| At long last!!!! |
| I have bad knees and I have been looking for several years for a workout that I can do. I can't do high impact and low impact workouts usually include a lot of squats and lunges.This is the first workout I've found after trying many different things that doesn't bother my knees at all, where my knees are not the limiting factor and where I really feel free to just exercise. The basic workout I really liked. The time just flies, it is almost like running in a sense in that you can do the basic moves but vary the intensity to your fitness level. JB Berns, I believe, had some sort of injury which he had to rehab, so he seems to do a good job of designing a workout that really is friendly to your joints.I am so excited that I found this and finally feel like I can get down to the business of exercising and losing weight. - posted by pueblogirl on 10/13/2007 |

| tough and annoying |
| I was really excited when I ordered the video, but found that my feet hurt tremendously during the exercises. Add to that the annoying comments by JB and the ridiculous background antics of Tracy and I finally just threw it into the back of the closet. If you can do the exercise without the sound on, it might be more tolerable. - posted by leigh on 7/27/2007 |

| New Found Love |
| Like other posters, I'm a big fan of rebounding. For someone with limited space, it's the perfect exercise and there is so much variety with these compilations that I can never get bored. I am most familiar with the basic and intermediate workouts, which I alternate 2 times a week in my workout. I like to do the basic workout before I do a strength training DVD or session - so I know my heart rate will at least be up for that 30 minutes or so. The intermediate is a full workout and even though the combination gets LOOONNG (about 20 minutes), I have always been able to finish and push myself through to the end (those dips are a killer!). I promise if you try, you will find a new, fun workout. I can't wait to try the other DVDs in the series. - posted by EMey on 1/30/2007 |

| No foot trouble here |
| I'm 46 and after having suffered from plantar fascitis for the past few years, I was concerned about starting this program. I've had no problems whatsoever after doing this workout 5 days a week for the past month. I think stretching the legs/calves thoroughly after each workout is key. Rebounding is superb for detoxing the body, increasing lymph flow and gently increasing cardio and muscle tone. As for the video, I really like J.B. He's upbeat without being excessive. I have to echo the complaint about one of the other demonstrators however. Tracy is extremely irritating in her quest to get the camera attention, plus her constant yipes and yells are most distracting. I like the workout enough to endure her, but would hope that any future videos do not use her. - posted by Citron on 10/28/2006 |

| No pain... |
| I want to speak to the folks experiencing foot/leg pain. I've had four foot surgeries, so I'm very careful about the aerobic exercise I do. I'm thrilled to have discovered rebounding, which is a safe and pain-free way to do traditional dance aerobics; there is negligible impact. Yes, my legs were sore the first few times, but only because the muscles were being used in a new way. In terms of foot soreness, a good shoe (I use cross trainers), orthonics (for me), PLUS proper foot strike (push down and stay low) avoids any problems. I was amazed that since I incorporated rebounding into my fitness routine (twice a week - 45 minutes each time), my spinal bone density has actually improved, due to the g-force aspect of rebounding, which does NO damage to joints and actually improves bone density and muscle strength. In terms of Compilation #1, it truly is for beginners. I found it to be a bit booring and 'slow' for my level of experience and cardiac fitness. Comp. 2 and 3 are terrific. - posted by K.

| Hard on Ankles |
| If any of you are baby-boomers like me, be aware that rebounding is very hard on your ankles. I enjoy it, the time flies and it is fun, but my ankles are always sore the next day. I have never had this problem before with any other type of exercise. I have tried all different types of shoes, as well as going barefoot, but my ankles are always sore the next day. Just thought someone should mention this. - posted by Julie on 8/31/2006 |

| Quick and intense |
| I love this video! At first I wasn't sure (the first few times, my feet were sore, but then I built up some endurance and learned to wear looser shoes). I do this once a week and I am hooked. It's great when I am short on time in the morning, it's so intense, and the abs section is great. - posted by Ashley on 6/8/2006 |
