Rebounder question
Hi, can I ask you which rebounder you have, and what do you love about it?
Does anyone have a rebounder that can be folded into two like this? https://www.amazon.com/FIT-BOUNCE-PR...ct_top?ie=UTF8 Is it safe? |

I've got a Bellicon, but if I had it to do over again, would probably have gotten a larger one. Mine's the travel size, and it's fine, but some part of me wishes I'd gotten the largest, LOL!!! I do like the fact that the one I have will fit in my car, but I've yet to take it anywhere. Getting it home from the Fedex place could have been a hassle if I'd bought a larger one, but if they'd delivered it to my door that might not have occurred to me.
Years and years ago I had a Yogflex, one of those ultra cheapo kind with straps? $50 with free delivery from drugstore.com. It was fine as a proof of concept beginnerish test. I learned that I enjoy bouncing, but eventually I realized that in the long run I wanted something much better quality. In its favor, it had a LARGE bouncing surface, which I really liked. There are tons of bungee cord style rebounders these days, so I'd definitely go with one of those, but I'm not sure I'd go ultra cheap. Some reviews I've seen make me doubt the wisdom of buying a no-name brand. And just in case you haven't tried, it, a tag search using the word rebounder brings up a lot of older discussions. http://forum.videofitness.com/tags.php?tag=rebounder

The strength of the bungee makes a huge difference in the feel of the bounce.
I originally got really strong bungees for my Bellicon, but replaced them so the bounce was less firm when the first set wore out. Here's a link to the Bellicon page talking about how to choose the right strength for your needs. https://www.bellicon.com/us_en/shop/...ungee-strength I don't know how other models compare.

Sure it does. I got extra strong bungees (I'm well under 200lbs) and for me, the bounce is still too soft. Maybe the ultra bungees would make a difference, but they're not cheap and I just don't want to invest any more money in it.
