From the back cover:

 

" This is a workout like no other! I have been a fitness

professional for over fifteen years, and JB Berne's

URBAN REBOUNDING is the best non-impact

cardio-vascular workout that I have ever experienced. "

 

 

 

" .ultimate aerobic workout. "

 

 

" .most fun I've had working out in a long time. "

 

 

 

 

p.20: " .As with so many other things in this culture,

when we become adults we too often forget the

wonder, excitement, and awe in which we

viewed the world as children.we become

encumbered with the 'shoulds' of our culture

and we too often forget how to simply listen to

our internal wisdom about what we need. "

 

p. 22: " .the industrial revolution as the major force

which changed this cycle of living and produced

a more regimented one where people were cut

off from nature and thereby removed from a part

of themselves. Removed from a part which made

them health and free individuals..In this atmosphere

the human being was no longer working in concert with the direct

connection of sustenance according to the laws of nature. "

 

 

 

p. 81: " .There is no magic involved in this; it is simple

physics and biology which explain the principles

of how rebound exercise stimulates cellular

strength and internal cleansing. All that is needed

to begin a program of therapeutic rebounding is

the right equipment, and a willingness to trust the

fact that you can be an active participant in your

own healing. "

 

Summary ( * * * )

 

 

 

A good book on rebounding: giving credit to all who have come before,

and integrating a variety of disciplines, including some martial arts.

If you're looking for some alternate physical movement, this is a

big jump up! Lol!

 

 

 

Best,
