Impact comes through the G-Force. The higher you move through air and then come to the deepest point in bounce, the higher the G-Force. With the Bellicon Rebounders you can move significantly more through air while still be accompanied most of the time by the rebounder mat. (That's the advantage of the bungee bands versus springs). Of course you can take a spring based Rebounder and just jump higher out of the mat. That would give you probably the same G-Force. However this might also hurt your joints and your back. <strong>With a bungee band Rebounder like the Bellicon you get the high G-Force and still have your joints and back protected.</strong>. Today I received a testimonial of <strong>one of our clients</strong> who uses the Bellicon 44 Rebounder with strong bungee bands. She just <strong>got her results from the bone density test and was thrilled to find out that she gained significant bone density by bouncing on the Rebounder for a period of 6 months only.</strong> <a href="http://qibounding.com/rebounding_blog.html?fb_5192629_anch=10457232" rel="nofollow">Here the link to her test results.</a> @John: I am happy to answer your question “Do you need to bounce on a hard surface in order to gain bone density?”

She was wondering if a harder surface resulting in more pounding was benefical for increasing bone density ? Could you discuss this ? Thanks , John Hi Sylvia,

Although I knew to stand with my feet straight and parallel, I didn't know about using the toe/heel method for the proper measurement apart. Thank You !! Very good lesson.
