Progress so far, Looking forward to the future

So, after Christmas I bought a mini trampoline. Not a particularly nice one. It only cost 30 bucks at Walmart, but it may well have changed my life forever. I had started wanting a mini trampoline sometime before Christmas. If you asked me now I couldn't tell you why though. Sometimes good things just happen because they're supposed to.

Anyways, I started bouncing on that thing, and discovered a feeling I only got on my best days of doing Tai Chi or Bagua. A full body tingling as every single cell in my body is squeezed and massaged. In Chinese martial arts they call it chi. After all the research on rebounding I'm inclined to say that feeling is getting the lymphatic system going. I've been bouncing for over a month now, and while I haven't yet lost any weight I have definitely added some muscle to my arms and legs. My tummy has also tightened up considerably and is slowly shrinking.

I'm quite in love with rebounding, and I've been researching the different types and brands of quality rebounders out there. When we get our tax return back I'm going to spring for one of these. The top brands for those who don't know are: Needak, Cellerciser, ReboundAIR, JumpSport, and Bellicon. Now Bellicon is the Cadillac of the bunch with a silky smooth bungee bounce. It costs 800 bucks though, and the bands need to be changed out every two years or so. JumpSport is also a bungee based rebounder, and it seems nice enough. Just not sure that a bungee bouncer is right for me. The other 3 are all spring based bouncers, and of the 3 I think the Cellerciser is the nicest and most likely to last. That's the one I'm leaning towards right now.

When I get my new rebounder I'm planning on using this blog more frequently to track my progress.
