Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I chose this rebounder for the stabilizing bar, since I was nervous about "bouncing" off and injuring something. I didn't even think about the resistance bands. I love them both. The bar is adjustable, so I was able to position it easily. I can actually jog using the bands and feel very steady as well. If I start to tire, I can back off on the cardio intensity and focus on strength training with the bands. As a weight loss surgery (WLS) person, the rebounder allows me to exercise at a rate comfortable for me in the privacy of my own home. That's a big plus. I was concerned about the rebounder being too bouncy, that I'd bounce too high or lose control, but the mat is not like a trampoline. It allows me to jog, bounce, etc. with control and little stress on my joints. It was easy to put together. I did it by myself, a 63 year old woman, with no problems. The directions were clear and easy to follow. It has definitely been money well spent.
