Yup, I got one from Walmart, $20, but it is very stiff. I can gently bounce but not actually jump, so I don't do it very much. My aunt has the Needak and it is completely different. Very flexible and enjoyable, all the way from gentle bouncing to crazy jumping! I am waiting to get the expensive one, I think buying the Walmart one was a waste (but then again, only $20).

Yes I am leaning towards the needak now. Can you tell a difference inside like how its suppose to deal with the lymph cleansing? And would you consider it a good way to tone muscles? How long do you use it per day/week? thanks!

Yes, I have definitely noticed a difference in muscle tone, however, I've also been working out for years. I also tend to workout really hard on the rebounder and work up quite a sweat. From what I understand though, there are fantastic benefits whether you choose to workout really hard, or only moderately so.

As far as the toxins go, I believe that almost any exercise can help eliminate toxins, especially if you sweat a lot. I've read that the rebounder works on the cellular level, something that I tend to believe, but don't necessarily understand.

I've been a runner, cyclist, speed skater, you name it, for years, and still think my rebounder is the greatest thing next to sprouted sliced bread. I love it so much, I purposely purchased one that folds so I can take it with me when I travel, though carrying it is a workout itself!

I'd say, if you're on the fence, buy a cheapy first, see if you'll actually use it, then upgrade as soon as you can, which will be so much better for your joints because more expensive brands have a much higher quality spring system.

Additionally, you can hop on it immediately and get a great workout without feeling too winded, even if you haven't been active in a long time. If I haven't been out for a run in awhile, it will take me about a week to get to a point where I'm not ready to fall over, not so with the rebounder, not sure how it works, but I can get my heart rate up really high without being winded at all. Fantastic!
