I wanted to like this rebounding workout! Especially since a VFer went to the trouble of lending it to me. It has been broken down by a previous reviewer.

I previewed this workout yesterday and, after 40 minutes, it made me so sleepy I had to go take a nap. (And I rarely take naps.) I may not have found the right workout for me, but I may have found a cure for my insomnia! (I will think of it forever as “Snorebound”.)

Alas, I’m beginning to believe that I am doomed to only ever rebounding with JB for the rest of my life. I’ve tried other instructors and workouts, but his are the ones I come back to.

Starbound would be a great workout for the right person. The scenery is gorgeous. The rebounding is interspersed with toning and stretching segments. I tried it today and lasted abut 45 minutes before I go bored out of my mind. It has several fatal flaws for me:

Cueing: Mediocre, non-mirror.

Music: Soporific and dreadfully BORING. I understand that the music is supposed to be slow so beginners don’t injure themselves keeping up with a beat. Personally, I need a beat!

Choppy: The segments are divided into Modules, Zones, Levels. etc. What the heck? I don't know what it was all about.

The instructor is planning a DVD version. I strongly suggest that she add a “cues only” option, so that the exerciser can add their own music!

Instructor Comments:
The instructor is very pleasant and sincere. She has a nice English accent.
