I am happy to answer them. 1. It is correct that bungee bands wear out. They are wear out items - just like tennis shoes: the more you use them, the quicker they wear out. The average is 1 1/2 years of usage before you need to exchange them. This is the "downside" of bungee bands. The upside is that of course the bounce of a QiBounder (bungee band Rebounder) is much nicer than the bounce of a spring based Rebounder and it is more efficient. The upside is also that exchanging bungee cords is way easier than exchanging a broken spring. And springs break. I heard had client from all different spring based Rebounder brands that told me that they experienced springs breaking. No exception. 2. It is always "safe" to go with stronger bungee cords then those you would need for your weight categorie. However, if you go way over your category (for instance if you weigh 130 lbs and you take ultra bungee cords) you would not experience a very bounce Rebounder. The Rebounder bounce would be than similar to a spring based Rebounder. 3. Usually people who are flat footed pronate. In most the cases they FIRST pronate and all pronated feet become more flat footed. You can test that on your own feet: Just pronate by purpose (let your ankles heavily fall into the middle). You will see that your foot becomes very flat. Then do the contrary: Put more weight on the outside of your heals so that your heal comes in a 90 degree angle to the floor: Your arch will bridge again and the flat foot becomes much less flat. 4.Thanks for your kind words in regards to my Pronating video! All the best and if you have supplementary questions, please feel free asking them! Sylvia Dear Eric,

Perhaps, you'd be so kind as to answer a couple of quick questions... * In the safety section of Bellicon's site it says that bungees may wear or fray and need replacing. As such, what makes the bungee approach superior to springs? * If I do go with Bellicon, is it safe to order a model designed for a weight range heavier than my own? * Are people who are flat-footed necessarily more pronated? Thank you Sylvia for your video on pronating. It's awesome that you're enabling newcomers like me to be become aware of something so critical that most folks overlook... and before the jumping begins, no less! Hi Sylvia,

I’m currently researching Bellicon vs. Cellerciser. Perhaps, you’d be so kind as to answer a couple of quick questions…

* In the safety section of Bellicon’s site it says that bungees may wear or fray and need replacing. As such, what makes the bungee approach superior to springs?

* If I do go with Bellicon, is it safe to order a model designed for a weight range heavier than my own?

* Are people who are flat-footed necessarily more pronated?

Thank you Sylvia for your video on pronating. It’s awesome that you’re enabling newcomers like me to be become aware of something so critical that most folks overlook… and before the jumping begins, no less!

I do have an explanation of Pronating <a href="http://www.qibounding.com/rebounding_training_Pronation.html" rel="nofollow">HERE on my website</a> where I explain what you can do when you pronate. And this is independent from using a Rebounder or not. If you cannot stop Pronating at all, I would recommend to buy Anti-Pronating Shoes. Nike makes them. I describe this on the bottom of the website link above. Please let me know if this answers your question. Which brand of Rebounder do you use? It might also be that the soreness of your rebounder does not only come from your posture but also from the missing quality of your Rebounder.

However I am Deaf and I cannot understand your video above. There is no captioning available. How can I get simple, clear instructions on how to rebound with my flat feet? Do I wear my sneakers with arch supports? I was rebounding for a week and my knees are incredibly sore, have never had this before in my life. Thanks!
