2:41:39 PM | Hi Everyone,
I got a rebounder a couple of days ago, and I LOVE it. I'd gone to several stores before finally finding one at a second Walmart. The first Walmart I went to didn't have any, and the second store I tried...Academy only had fancy ones for $100...and no luck at my Super Target either...but finally...I found one at the second Walmart I went to.
I didn't want to order one because lately I seem to be having difficulty with delaying gratification, which knocked out the idea of ordering online and waiting for it to come in.
All of this is nothing but a pity party though.
Sometimes I just get fed up with being so "good" all the time and I get a little childish...like wanting a rebounder RIGHT NOW.
The one I found was $38 and the brand was Gold's Gym. It didn't have the hand held things, but I bought a long bungee cord thing with handles for $8 to hook under the rebounder (saw this trick on Youtube).
It wasn't too hard to put together even though the instructions said you needed "two strong people" to unfold it.
After I realized only one fairly wimpy person was available (me), I just put it on the floor and flung myself on top of it and smashed it open with my body weight (135 pounds) which seemed to work just fine. I was so proud of myself that I was singing the "I am Woman" song afterward, so there was the added bonus of self esteem involved in this pursuit.
There was some whining involved when I tried to hook the protective pad around the edge...but once I decided to try the technique I use to put on too small jeans, I got it on pretty quickly.
I'm enjoying hopping on it every time I walk past it in my bedroom. I can do it barefooted, and it's easy to do for short periods of time.
I can already tell the difference in my energy when I use it...and that's the best part!
