Format:Paperback
I enjoy rebounding as a regular exercise and I thought that I would purchase this book to ensure that I didn't get bored with the same routine and to incorporate other targeted exercise.
The book is ok, nothing special; From the title I thought that it was going to be packed full of various exercises, however, it mainly covers who the author is, what rebounder to buy (i.e. sales plug for ReboundAIR!!!) and the basic benefits and effects of rebounding etc. Also, it's not particularly a very well structured book and you find yourself getting abit bored as the author goes off on a tangent not related to his original chapter or topic!
Disappointingly, there's really only a couple of short chapters at the end of the book that show different techniques, most of which you could guess or find online anyway!
I wouldn't particularly recommend the book unless you know absolutely NOTHING about rebounding or really want to know more about Albert Carter & his own branded rebounder!

a little TMI but really good.
9 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback
I was really excited to start getting the most out of my new rebounder. I purchased this book expecting just new exercises to keep the workout fun. This book went beyond every expectation. Not only does it have good moves for the rebounder but 75% of the book is all about why rebounding is the best exercise for your entire body. The contents include studies conducted by NASA and the author's own research. I was pretty blown away at how incredible rebounding can be for every cell in the body. The author goes over every system of the body which can be a little dry but the last paragraphs always bring it back to the subject. Overall, I loved it!

Interesting, but more than I needed
22 Jan 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This would be a great book if an editor had deleted about half of the text. Most of the first part of the book is the author talking about his journey of discovery. After that, he goes into great detail about cellular functions including the replication of DNA, how mitochondria function, etc.
I have a bachelor's in science so I was able to follow what he was saying, but I found it to be quite difficult to read, not to mention it wasn't very interesting.
He eventually gets to the point in each chapter where he sums up why he spent several pages explaining how the cones and rods in the eye work, or how the mitochondria function, but by that time I found that I really didn't care. The summary would have been adequate to let me know what this exercise does on a cellular level without having to wade through all the other stuff.
The last few chapters he does talk about how much rebounding you need, how efficient it is as an exercise, how it can be helpful for many different conditions, and how it's good for everyone including infants and quadraplegics. He also goes through the different type of bounces, as well as some workout routines.
I feel this book has some good information, if you are willing to either wade through or skim over the majority of the text.
