LB'S FAVORITE REBOUNDERS FOR YOUR BUDGET
Rebounding is super fun and provides major health benefits from boosting balance, digestion, lymphatic drainage and immune function. Rebounding is also more than twice as effective as running without extra stress on the ankles and knees.
Rebounding is unique since it uses the forces of acceleration and deceleration and can work on every cell in the body. When you bounce, acceleration occurs as you bounce up, then a split-second weightless pause at the peak, a deceleration at an increased G-force on the way down, then impact to the rebounder, and you repeat.
In general, the more springs a rebounder has, the better it tends to be. However, the better a rebounder is, the more you’ll pay. Regardless of your budget, I don’t believe that you need to spend more than $250 on an at-home rebounder. And you don’t need a bungee rebounder…don’t believe the hype. Springs work just fine. Over the last ten years I’ve used many brands and can recommend a great one for almost every budget.
Here’s what to look for:
Comfort: Like a car, all rebounders have a different feel. Some will feel great jumping barefoot, and with some you’ll want to save your soles and wear shoes. If you prefer jumping with sneakers, you’ll be able to spend less. But, if you’re planning on jumping 15 minutes daily, a couple times a week, or a few times a month and you prefer working barefoot, you might want to spring for a comfier one.
Bounce: You’ll sink into some rebounders and they’ll give you a lot more bounce, while others will be firm and give you barely any bounce at all. Bounce has nothing to do with quality, it really all depends on the type of workout you want. If it’s for cardio (LB rebounder workouts for sure!) then choose a bouncier one; if it’s mainly for lymphatic drainage, get a tighter one and stay low. Low bouncing is easier and you won’t get as tired.
Frame Quality: If you get a rebounder with a lousy frame, it will wear over a short period of time. If you’re going to be using it heavily, get one that can withstand some bouncing. Some rebounders fold up for easy storage, so if you’re tight on space, keep that in mind. Personally I’m not a fan of the foldable ones. Some take two people to fold and lock into place, and god forbid your finger gets caught in there. They sorta scare me, but I’m also scared of bees so…
Here are my top four rebounder picks in three price ranges. Honestly, I don't love any rebounder in the $100-$150 range, most have straight legs so they walk away from you as you jump and most tend to be pretty noisy.
1. Jumpsport Model 250 ($249). I have this one at home and it's top of the line. I love it b/c the frame is sturdy and slightly smaller, it's super lightweight, and the arched legs keep it still on the ground during the highest of jumps. You can also adjust the firmness and tension which is awesome. The 250 gives you freedom of movement because you can jump on those padded petals, so there's a lot more surface area. This one will last you for life - even with heavy usage.
2. Jumpsport Model 220 ($229) Just like the model 250, but the 220 gives you less jumping area without the petals but still provides a LOT of bounce and all the bells and whistles.
3. Ancheer Rebounder ($62-$78) These models are sturdy and one folds up twice, but all are firm with a low bounce. If you prefer staying low or are tall and have low ceilings these are a great option.
4. Stamina Folding Rebounder ($31.89) This quiet little rebounder comes in chic colors and folds up if you're looking to save space. It's very reasonably priced but is a starter model so I'm guessing this will last you six months to one year if you're planning on jumping one hour daily/5x a week. This one is a great option if you're looking to jump in and then upgrade in time.

SLB Private Collection
The April Program begins on Monday, April 4th so this week is a gap week. I have a new Body Parts: Spine workout that will be dropping in-studio mid-week. If you’ve been following The Program, I recommend moving how you feel. But please do not slack off just because there is no “new” content. No excuses. Think about the workouts you’ve missed or haven’t done.
If you’re looking for some inspiration, take a look at our Private Collection from December 2021. I’ll be updating it with some of my personal favorites from 2022 (like last week’s Uh-Huh). I have quite a few new faves that I’m adding to this list.
I’m excited to share with you how I practice. I have I like to call it Intuitive Mindful Movement. I guide you weekly, but I rarely follow a schedule myself. This week, I’m giving you a compass. Inhale and tap into your mood, then exhale, explore and click through what’s turning you on. You may find this a bit challenging but I promise that it will help you develop a better relationship with movement and yourself.
Your Mood
How do you feel today? Energetic? Confident? Tired? And how do you want to feel today? If you’re a bit tired why don’t you try something soft? Or maybe you want to wakeup with something energizing and long? Feeling sexy? A short (or long) dancey Cardio + Sculpt always does the trick. Cold and tight? Get grounded. Reading our mood helps us listen to what we really need and turns fitness into a much more intentional act.
So Let’s Begin
You’ll find some of my personal favorites in-studio under these categories. You might see something you’d like or it may inspire you to choose something you love that’s entirely different.

TO L♡︎VE (2♡︎). I’ve been thinking about how we fall in love and how love changes and evolves over time. We fall in love with who the other is at that moment. Then, as time passes and people change, love changes and evolves. It never seems to be what it was because we aren't who we were. Love, was that moment like a polaroid developed at that instant.
Today I want you to write yourself a love note with the mantra: “I am powerful, strong and beautiful. I love every part of my body and every part of my body loves me.” Place it on your bathroom mirror and each morning after you shower/move, repeat it instead of critiquing your imperfections.

SLB 1/17/22
SLB is evolving and it reminds me so much of the duality of the Yin-yang concept. To have a full digital studio with different ways to practice that work for everyone’s life along with teaching in person has always been my goal. I hope those of you who are taking our group programs are enjoying the experience so far. Teaching truly gives me life like no other.
In Ancient Chinese philosophy, yin and yang ("dark-light", "negative-positive") is a concept that describes how opposite forces may actually be complementary and interconnected.
The theory of Yin and Yang says that everything that surrounds us is made up of two opposite forces that harmoniously unify to favor movement and, in turn, change. So, while Yin symbolizes the feminine, darkness, water, intuition, and the ability to nurture life, Yang is all about momentum, the masculine, luminosity, expansion, and fire. We all recognize the symbol of Yin and Yang. And although the symbol is rooted in Chinese philosophy (and religion) it can also be said that this concept and display of duality brings harmony to life.

The Afterglow
Happy Holidays, everyone. It’s that time of year that we spend so much of our time and energy on others but it’s so important to remember to focus on you and prioritize yourself. I know that I need the reminder, as well. Look back and look ahead but be present with yourself this week.
We’re typically pretty sluggish post-holiday (sugar) and I’d love for you to ease back in with this special program, The Afterglow. Start with sculpt this week and take it one day at a time. If you’d rather begin with cardio, check the alternate schedule for my recommendation or sub in whatever you’re feeling. I have all good things coming your way.
