Naturalist, well I'll tell you I think the needak has a soft bounce.. but im a fit male in my twenties and I havent really used other rebounders to compare.. so I have no complaints. its definitely a well made rebounder, its not stiff and it stands up to my high bounces and even my buddies who are 200+ lbs. Hey, question for You, hows the oil pulling with palm oil?? does it compare to sesame ?
And Beth, good for you about the total gym.. stay Motivated !! thats perfect for getting you back on the rebounder because its best to do a warm up before working out and for cooling down and getting those muscles "flowin" and healthier (as far as acid buildup and lymph fluid, etc.)
