- A Carrying Case
Rebounding is an exercise that reduces your body fat; firms your legs, thighs, abdomen, arms, and hips. It increases your agility; improves your sense of balance; strengthens your muscles over all; provides an aerobic effect for your heart; rejuvenates your body when it's tired, and generally puts you in an enhanced state of health and fitness.
You can easily perform this exercise in your living room, your office, and your yard. Travelers can carry a portable rebounder aboard an airliner for use in a hotel room. It's the most convenient, metabolically effective form of exercise around.
How Rebound Exercise Accomplishes Its Benefits
Rebounding involves aerobic movements performed on a bouncing device that looks like a small trampoline. It has you jumping up and down for health and fitness. As an ideal jumping device, the mini-trampoline or "rebounder," has a strong woven mat attached by coiled steel springs to a circular steel frame. The rebounder usually is round, although some models have been made oval, rectangular, square or polygonal. The entire jumping surface of the mat is twenty-eight inches in diameter, stands on six legs with spring coils of their own, which are seven to nine inches high.

The secret to the SOFT-BOUNCE success is simple. It's the springs. Only SOFT-BOUNCE has a JUMBO spring mechanism that rise higher and sinks lower, with an estimated 20% additional shock absorption.
Depending on the quality, some rebounding devices may be relatively low in cost, and unfortunately, low in quality. Bouncing on such poorly-constructed models may actually be harmful to one's muscles, joints, and nerves. There's no yield to them and the abrupt jarring effect is the same as landing on the floor.
Is It Made of the "Right Stuff"?
Most important for excellent rebounding is the mat material. It should give no stretch during the downward landing, while at the same time providing a resilient rebound. Such a mat will be made from Permatron¨ material, which has a smooth finish. The Permatron¨ is resistant to ultraviolet rays, doesn't break down as do other fabrics, and allows no moisture absorption. Part of the specifications for a perfect rebounder is that its mat will be sewn together using at least 5760 stitches of high-grade nylon thread with two layers of strong polypropylene webbing stitched around the mat's edges.
Attached to a heavy-grade, all steel round frame should be an oversize spring mechanism holding four-inch-long, custom-made jumbo springs which deliver a soft bounce. Thirty-six springs made of quality wire will hold the mat to the frame. The springs should be shielded by a protective cover. Individual spring mounting pins prevent frame wear. Tapered coils help to give extended wearability to such springs. (Untapered coils allow low-quality springs to break frequently, requiring replacement.) Replacement springs must be available directly from the manufacturer since retail distributors seldom stock spare springs.
Special Features
The spring-loaded legs fold for easy storage under a bed or behind a door.
For a folding rebounder, the frame folds in half to be packed into its carrying bag, allowing for storage in a car trunk or in the overhead compartment of an airliner.
Optional Accessories
The stabilizing bar is an optional accessory that is easily attached to the NEEDAK¨ Rebounder.
