Has anyone tried the urban rebounder?

the amount and rapidity of weight loss depends on a number of variables including the technique, other things would include diet, intensity and duration of exercise in a day etc, it would be hard to compare ones self to others, good luck

I've had one for about 2 years, and use it all the time in my workout. It may look expensive, but (IMO) it is worth the money. That is, if you use it. Too many people have only used it a couple times and complain that it is a piece of junk. It is different than freeweights, and feels different, but you can get a very good workout from it.\n\nAnother little tip I found out works great: Get a pair of dumbbells to workout with also. I found I get a much, much better workout using both than when I've only used one or the other. For example, do dumbbell curls and follow it with bicep curls on the Bowflex.

I did great on it the first week was rough but afterwards it wasa breeze, I still have the shake mix that I use ever so often when I need something quick and filling to go.\n\nI lost 5 lbs in two weeks on it.

Only if you're boxing out and going for a rebound. Once the shot is in the air you can get in front of the offensive player and push them around with your backside to try and get the rebound.

those turbo jam infomercials look like a lot of fun -- I haven't seen anything else like it. I like "THE FIRM," but that is not hip hop at all. Some video rental places have exercise videos to try out. I know netflix does. I've rented a few, and I know that there were some hip hop ones in there. Good luck on your search.

I think it a decent amount does have to do with genetics too.  If you have a lot of fast twich muscle fibers in your hamstrings, quadriceps, and calves..you may be able to do it.  But, unless you are somewhat close already..and I'm talking touching rim..I don't think you can get to dunking.  If you are close, however, I think you may have a chance...you need to practice jump squats for explosive leaping.  Good luck.

they work very well... i play basketball and i have used them to increase my vertical leap... i would also recomend trying plyometrics and subscribing (its free) to their e-newsletter... it comes about 2-3 times a week with tips and other exercises... hope this helps...

I do, and I like it!\n\nI got the Edge, the $99 one at Walmart.  It took a little getting used to at first, but is fun.  I am very out of shape though and have heard that it's not that much of a challenge for people that are really fit- but I know there is a video of his with more advanced techniques.  There are a few in the booklet that came with it too. \n\nHope this helps.

ok... well it's good that u actually can do a standing bhs! when u do a roundoff with out the bhs try rebounding.  then when u get the hang of it try replaceing your rebound with your bhs.  so in reality, your rebound is your bhs.

Yes, but only If your playing recreational players. \n\nBuy a quality paddle that has fast and tacky rubber-not from a department store. Develope a serve that uses lots of side spin to make them miss the ball/edge of the table or back spin to make them put it into the net.\n\nRecreational players have normaly never seen the ball move so fast or curve so far that you may be able to win extra points in a game. \n\nRecreational players normally use junk paddles so you don't have to worry about them putting any aditional spin on the ball, no matter how hard they try. \n\nThis will only work against recreational players, try it against a club/tournament level player and they'll eat you alive. A fast,tacky rubber without good form is a receipe for disaster. They've seen every gimmick.\n\nLook up USATT and find a local club if you want to make real progress in your game.

No but I'd love to try it someday. It seems really challenging. Queen Latifah actually stays in shape kickboxing. She said it's really hard but that it's a great workout and is the only thing she's found that really keeps her in shape and that she enjoys doing. I've also thought about boxing. Jill Marie Jones from "Girlfriends" boxes and she also said it was hard. Both women really seemed to enjoy the fact that they could tackle this form of exercise and become good at it. And it seems like more and more women are getting into these kinds of activities more and more so that's inspiring to me as I've become more interested in trying it. Also Jessica Biel got in great shape with boxing as a part of her fitness regimine for the movie Blade:Trinity. I got a chance to see what her workout was like on the double-disc unrated DVD. Ultimately kickboxing seems like it could make you feel empowered, strong, and tough.

take a look at the website below. it's got a list of other webistes that have basketball workouts on them that are interactive and help your game. Also if you're really interested try goingto betterbasketball.com where they have pro's show you their moves.\n\nAlso there's a lot of good stuff in SLAM Magazine. They seem to have the same type of stuff in most issues so all i takes is one magazine and you'll get some ideas.\n\nHope this helped.

I am working with the ab wheel right now. Not one of thos wempy ones with a helper in it. Just a stick with a wheel attached. It seems to give my stomach a good work because it is sore the next, but I am sure it will take a while to see any results.

I actually took a class that use hoops. They are not like the normal hoola hoops they have some weight to them. The instructer said its good for your abdominal muscles,hips,leg muscles and your back I believe. I did the class for about three months. It surprised me because I thought we would just stand there are do the regular hoola hoop routine. There is a lot more. The class ended though. If I find another one I would sign up.
