Donnas Lions 1
So Awesome to see Donna and her team opening for the Lions rugby match at Emirates Airline Park (previously Ellis Park stadium)!
Her original and innovative classes and events with bouncing – whether on blades or rebounders, have inspired a growing and loyal membership at her Donna's Health & Fitness studio in Krugersdorp, and have certainly made her the Queen of Blades in South Africa!
Good Life
The Good Life Show – one of my Light and Low (L&L) 🪶classes. It was silent on the outside – but the headphones had us all is a really good space with great music!
Womens Day Fitness
Women’s Day event at Planet Fitness in Midrand this morning! What a great group of women you have there Alecia – we all had such good fun!
Gravity MetaballStudios
An AWESOME video about Gravity from MetaBallStudios !
As we all know, Rebounding is an effective ways to enhance the effects and benefits of exercise – by increasing the effect of Gravity.
With every bounce you increase the G-Force (pull from Gravity) on every cell in your body. Almost every exercise for strengthening relies in us pulling away from Gravity (sit-ups, weightlifting etc).
Humans are used to Earths G where our normal jump is just under ½ a meter, and we’d be able to bounce a little higher on Venus as it has slightly less gravity than Earth.
Jupiter would be a bit of a problem where we could only jump 17cm (just over half a ruler).
But Pluto…..each 7m high bounce may take around 5seconds each – and you’d only do 12 bounces a minute (instead of the 120 here on Earth).
Our moon could be fun with over 2 ½ meter jump – but our Sun would be a problem, besides it being a bit too hot for exercise, you wouldn’t be able to jump up at all.
Metaball create animations that put the real and fictional worlds into perspective showing speeds, quantities, sizes etc – fascinating! https://www.youtube.com/@MetaBallStudios

GoodRebounderSprings
Last week we posted about why we prefer rebounders with High Quality Springs.
One of our rebounders was used and stored outdoors for 6 years in full sun, rain, cold, wind and hail - and then brought in for a service.
Even though the spring cover and yellow mat edging had taken a beating in JoBurg’s weather – our springs didn’t need any replacements. Not one.
They are STILL great and continue to offer a smooth, reactive and AWESOME Bounce. Perfectly fluid and Buoyant.
Which is ONE of the many reasons why we love our Spring Rebounders.
Springs can occasionally go, but of the 28 000+ rebounders we’ve sold over the years – we’ve only replaced a few springs on around 20 units, which is well below 0.1%.
Safe to say that our “Spring Spares” department is very quiet. The main action it gets is a little dusting.

ReboundSA BestBounce
The BOUNCE on our rebounders has been tried, tested, used and loved by chiropractors, therapists, gyms, dedicated studios and in homes for 18 years. Our products and programs were the very first to set the standards and requirements to achieve the Smart Choice Seal of Approval from the CANSA The Cancer Association of South Africa.
The Bounce is gorgeous, and it lasts – no stretching, jarring or sagging.
Wobble and FlatSprint
We LOVE this vid from Woodstock Pilates doing their ‘Wobble Plate’. It's also called tremoring, and Dave Hall calls it the ‘Jamba Walk’ (or Jamba ‘Run’ when doing it fast).
We call it the ‘Flat Sprint’ – and it’s GREAT for so many reasons including: super low impact, high cardio and calorie burning (when done fast), great for strengthening leg muscles and an option if you suffer from Reflux disorders, hiatus hernia – or don’t/can’t bounce higher but want a higher cardio exercise.
It can also give you a nice body tingle: do it fast for a minute…then stop….and feel the tingly rush through your body.
You can actually do this anywhere, even standing with feet flat on the floor, or sitting on a chair while keeping your toes in contact with the floor - shake your legs and/or arms for a minute, similar to a shiver if you’re very very cold. It feels great when you’re doing it – and tingles when you stop.
(Important – don’t forget to take nice even breaths while doing it)
If you have any previous knee discomfort, test it first with a very low and slow pace when doing in on the mat - and of course, seek medical advice if you have any known conditions or unusual pain.
Rebounding With Simphiwe

ReboundSA HALO
Oh Yes! Our Yellow Halo has become a symbol of high quality rebounders in South Africa for it’s X-Strong frame and Supremely Buoyant-Reactive-Smooth and Long-Lasting bounce! Leaders in SA since 2007 and FIRST to receive the Smart Choice Seal of Approval from CANSA The Cancer Association of South Africa

Energizer Bounce
If you ever feel unmotivated or too tired to do something, like catching up on admin, redecorating, weeding the lawn🤪, or even a longer rebound session😃- do a quick energizing bounce - anything from 2 – 5 mins.
It doesn’t have to be too long or vigorous – just enough to kickstart blood and lymph circulation, increase oxygen, and recharge your bio batteries to give your body and brain a boost to get going…and keep going!
You can just bounce and breathe while doing your own thing on the mat – or include a few of the simple moves Keith demonstrates in this short clip to enhance the effect.
