Will one of those rubber cages found at Wall Mart and Sam's Wholesale, that the 
kids bounce on do the same thing??

  Agreeing wholeheartedly about the benefits of using a rebounder, I would like 
to give a little warning though:
  long time non exercisers ie couch potatoes would be wise to take it easy in 
the beginning.  Not every one would be able to start off with 3 minutes 3x per 
day. Rebounding has a profound effect on your lymph system, even the gentle 
bouncing where the feet don't even leave the mat.  As a beginner one might 
experience incredible fatique, nausea, or just feel totally off, and not even 
thinking of the rebounder being responsible.  The lymph starts moving, toxins 
begin to move, and although that's what we want to achieve, build up slowly.  
Again, this is not happening to everyone but it does happen.  Start off with 
even only 1 minute 2x or 3x per day, you might feel on clouds already after 30 
secs, gentle bouncing and slowly build it up. Listen to your body!!

  Happy bouncing


  An example of the other benefits...I had been a couch potato for years
  (programmer, designer, etc.)...I had no muscle tone...after the first 10 days 
of
  rebounding gently for three minutes three times a day, my legs, calves, arms, 
etc.,
