hi Barbara
Reading your post the other day prompted me to blow the dust off my ol' rebounder! It's a foldable Needak; hidden behind an always-open door and easy to forget .
I followed Leslie Sansone's basic Walk Away the Pounds (1 mile), and Wowza! .. really intensified the workout, even without using weights . Obviously you can't do the large side-to-side movements or moving forward and back, but still can push down into the mat with each leg and lean the body from side-to-side.
Many folks think the purpose is to bounce up off the mat as high as possible every time. Not so! A lot of the "action" with a rebounder comes from pushing down into the mat with your whole foot, and the heel especially.
I bow before your ability to do the kicking workout . I have Sansone's Walk & Kick dvd, so I know that good core strength is needed even on flat ground, let alone on a rebounder!
