I agree that it should not be too difficult to modify these but, frankly, that is all the more reason there should have been a modifier included in the workout to show fun and interesting moves that aren't as "extreme".

True- the average person watching on HSN that doesn't do videos regularly may be overwhelmed by the workout and may not know how to modify.

Barb S, can you expand on why you like the bungee rebounders? How is it so different and superior to the UR? Why do you think the lower end Jumpsport is a good value if one can get the discount code to buy the 370 model? I know you use to like the YogaFlex which is what I currently have and also like. Can you give me your take on the differences between the YogaFlex and the Jumpsport? TIA

On topic: these new UR workouts are too extreme for me.

WOW! These workouts look really good. However, I am not really sure I want to work THAT hard! I do like the looks of a couple so I hope they will be available individually.

The lower end Jumpsport bungee is a good alternative if there is no discount code available. Right now, I do not believe there is a working code? Not sure if there ever will be one again but sure hope so for those on the fence. If paying full price, the lower end bungee can save substantial $$ and is still a fine bungee rebounder without paying extra for more cord adjustments and a longer cord warranty. However, I should mention the workout dvd that comes with the 370 does have a nice extra cardio chapter, just not worth almost double the price LOL

I cannot describe how much better the bungee bounce is. Really have to feel it for yourself to see the difference whether wearing shoes or not. It's amazing! Yes, the YogFlex had a larger mat but I will gladly modify to the smaller space for how wonderful the mat and bounce feel for everything. I can balance on the petals if I want more space but usually prefer not to. If somebody really wants alittle more space, wearing shoes would probably help to use more of the bungee area with either the skirt or petal mats. It's pretty obvious the new UR series are intended for shoes only and now that my feet are healed, I much prefer going barefoot.

Overall, I think the new UR series are more like BOSU workouts than rebounding workouts?

who has adapted just about every kind of workout to the rebounder and wants to warn people to keep the weights very light because the GForce can really add to much weight to vulnerable joints

I really loved what I saw in the clip. I haven't used my rebounder in years, but that may change as soon as this series becomes available. In the meantime, I may bring it in from the garage so I can try some of the moves in the clip.

I love the look of this. My problem is that I don't have a mini-trampoline and I don't want one.
My house is filled to the gills with fitness gear. Squat rack, two Olympic weight sets, one standard weight set, dumbbells and barbells galore, kettlebells, High Step, regular step, extra risers, tubing, rowing machine, treadmill, flat bench, incline bench, glute ham raise, back hyperextension, and there's more.
I've been wanting a Bosu forever too, but I just know it will sit and be a $100 dust magnet.
I don't want more stuff in the house!

Thanks so much DDJ ! I have to brainwash myself into loving them even before getting because my DH said that if I won't use my rebounder that I am getting next week, he won't accept any further exercise equipment at home so I hope with those I will be happily bouncing my bum-bum in the air a few times a week ( for long enogh to convince him it was a good wise purchase well worth the space it will take in the house )
