Your progressive bounti rebounding journey... From beginner to pro

So, you’re ready to start your rebounding journey… But where? How? What’s the best path forwards? 

We have such a large variety of bounti rebounding programmes available. It’s completely understandable if you’re feeling overwhelmed or confused with where to begin.

Starting a workout programme that is way too difficult from the get-go, isn’t enjoyable for anyone. Starting from a manageable, but still reasonably challenging level, means that you’re more likely to stick to it – and your body will thank you for it!

Let’s break down your progressive bounti journey step-by-step… Here’s the best route to take on your way to bouncing towards a better, healthier, happier you!

Note: Access to all the programmes and rebounding workouts described below, along with MANY more, are all more affordably available within our “Life of bounti” monthly subscription.

  1. The bounti Foundation Programme

Introducing, the 4-week bounti Foundation Programme! This programme is ideal for anyone who’s looking to start from the absolute grassroots of rebounding. 

We recommended this programme for you if you:

  • Are a bit older
  • Have an autoimmune disease
  • Are recovering from a pregnancy
  • Are recovering from an injury or illness
  • Are very unfit
  • Have never rebounded before

The workouts include the use of an optional support bar or T-bar, however you can complete this programme without one if you feel strong enough. You don’t need much – only your rebounder, light dumbbells (0.5 kg - 1 kg), a small loop band, a soft ball and a great mindset. 

WATCH: My video explanation of the bounti Foundation Programme

Over the 4 weeks, you will start off with 2-minute workouts, that will slowly progress to 20-minute workouts in the 4th week. My guidance during the sessions is really supportive, and ensures that you are slowly, and carefully, immersed into the sensations of rebounding.

The Foundation Programme has an intro video at the beginning of each week, telling you what to expect, the basics of rebounding, safety guides, and various tips and tricks.

You will be following me, not the crazy beats of a fast-paced song. The focus with this programme is on coordination, balance, technique, orientation, form and safety. There isn’t a huge emphasis on too wide a range of movement or hectic music.

I want you to, slowly and consistently, grow your rebounding confidence over the 4 weeks. It’s all about building a solid foundation when it comes to bouncing – with a huge focus on technique. This programme takes you right from the absolute basics of, not just rebounding, but fitness as a whole. 

This programme is also amazing if you want to utilise rebounding strictly from a wellness aspect rather than a fitness or strength aspect. The basic exercises in this programme are excellent at circulating your lymph and releasing toxins from the body.

Hopefully, this programme provides you with the right push you need to simply get on your rebounder and start somewhere. If you’re looking to start your journey with bounti from grassroots to pro, this programme is the perfect precursor to our Beginner's Programme.

  1. The bounti Beginner’s Programme

If you’re still new to rebounding and looking for a step-by-step guide to get you started, my bounti Beginner's Programme 2.0 is an effective 8-week rebounding course, designed to take you from newbie to expert in no time!

Our Beginner’s Programme 2.0 is actually the second version of this programme, where we’ve upped the quality and enhanced the experience it presents to you. Although the key principles, focus and purpose of the programme remain the same, its 2.0 version includes an improved look and feel, as well as a proper sound, lighting and tech set-up!

In this new-and-improved version of the programme, my own level of rebounding skill and proficiency have improved significantly! Not only are you getting a better experience with this 2.0 programme itself, you’re also being taught and guided through a better quality of rebounding, learning the latest, most applicable techniques and moves. Please note that the first, 1.0 version of this programme is no longer available.

If you don’t know how to utilise your rebounder to get the most out of it, then this is the programme for you. Allow me to teach you how to use your rebounder to exercise properly, and reap its maximum benefits.

Whether you’ve had a rebounder for ages, you’ve just bought a rebounder, you’re a complete fitness newbie or you’re super fit, but completely new to the rebounding modality specifically – we’ve got you.

This programme includes:

  • An introductory welcome video on what to expect from the entire programme as a whole
  • Introductory videos of what to expect during each week
  • Safety guidance, including advice on what to wear, bouncing with the correct footwear, and even the after-effects of rebounding!
  • Technique videos
  • An equipment breakdown
  • Guidance as to what you should do after completing the programme

This is so that you’re as safe, and educated as possible. From there, I teach you all the basics, from how to stand on your rebounder correctly, all the way to the techniques of different moves. You’ll only need some basic equipment, such as:

My goal with this programme is to get you started slowly, and build your rebounding fitness in a way that is gradual and enjoyable!

The 8-week programme is broken up into 56 at-home rebounding sessions, with 1 session per day for 7 days a week, for 8 weeks. Week 1 starts with 10 minutes each day, working up to week 8, which includes 7 workouts at 60 minutes each. By the end of week 8, you should be able to do a full hour of rebounding.

I can guarantee that, if you do this programme properly, you’ll see so many improvements in your body, health, energy and mental wellbeing. You will end as a completely new, happy and healthy human being!

WATCH: A Sneak Peek into Beginner's 2.0

Compared to our 4-week bounti Foundation Programme, the Beginner’s Programme takes everything up to a whole, new level. Where the Beginner’s Programme takes you on an 8-week journey, from 10 to 60 minutes of bouncing, the Foundation Programme takes you on a 4-week journey, from 2 to 20 minutes of rebounding. This Beginner’s Programme is a natural step up, only after you are totally comfortable with our bounti Foundation Programme, and find it easy enough to take your rebounding up a notch!

Please also be mindful of the fact that while the Foundation Programme was shot with the use of an optional Support Bar to hold onto while you need the extra stability, this Beginner’s Programme is only suitable once you have reached a level of bouncing where you are comfortable without this Support Bar. If you find this Beginner’s Programme too difficult, please consider the bounti Foundation Programme instead.

    1. The bounti Intermediate Programme

    After completing the Beginner’s Programme, so many of our clients want to step up to a challenge that caters for their increased fitness and rebounding familiarity, but still aren’t quite ready for the advanced classes yet. 

    This totally guided, progressive 6-week bounti Intermediate Programme has been created with lots of love, thought and effort by talented bounti instructors, Jono and Anika. Each workout, and the entire structure of the programme as a whole, have been created with the powerful principles of exercise science! Each workout carefully designed to yield results and help you progress. It essentially teaches you how to master and perfect all the bounti fundamentals at an intermediate level!

    With a generous access period of 20 weeks, we encourage you to revisit this programme and really utilise it to its full potential in taking you to that next level! From challenges to increasing the BPM of the music you’re bouncing to, upping the equipment, and including more advanced techniques, every aspect of this programme has been created to challenge and push you onwards and upwards!

    How is the programme structured?

    This bounti Intermediate Programme takes you on a progressive, 6-week journey; with 4 sessions per week. Includes a total of 24 workouts; 11 of which are led by Jono, another 11 are led by Anika, and 2 sessions are shared, featuring both trainers.

    The first 3 sessions included in each week will focus on the following:

    • Balancing push and pull exercises for your upper body, and varying your approach in doing so in each workout session.
    • Exercises that work the front (anterior) and back (posterior) muscles of your lower body, and changing how you train these muscles in each workout session.
    • An element of core training will be included in each session.
    • A cardio / Tabata / skipping element will be included in each session.
    • There will also be 1-2 songs dedicated to improving rebounding form and co-ordination (FLOW-style) in each session.

    The 4th session of each week will be a full-body workout that blends all of the varying mechanisms executed during the week into practice!

    While it's so important not to push yourself too hard, it's also important to remember that if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you. The bounti Intermediate Programme gives you the best balance between advancing your rebounding, without taking it too far, too soon.

    It includes a little bit of everything, and is amazing for exposing you to new class styles and concepts. So, what are you waiting for? Get bouncing!

    You’ve reached the big leagues! Take your rebounding up an even higher notch, with my incredible bounti LEVEL UP Rebounding Programme. 

    The bounti LEVEL UP Programme really adds that extra dimension to your rebounding workouts, provided that you’ve already established a substantial foundation of rebounding fitness. If you’ve plateaued in your fitness or results, this programme is the one for you!

    This programme was a tough one to put together… It took me 6 months to shoot! I really gave it my all to make sure that it’s constantly challenging you, and switching it up to keep your body guessing.

    Our bodies are masters at adaptation, so doing too much of the same won’t continue bringing you the results you want. 

    bounti LEVEL UP:

    • Switches it up every day to keep your body guessing
    • Constantly challenges you
    • Helps you see consistent results and progress
    • Will build and boost your metabolism (due to increased lean muscle tissue)
    • Improves your overall coordination, strength and physical toning
    • Greatly enhances your cardiovascular fitness

    What's included in bounti LEVEL UP?

    • Day 1 : A balanced, 50-minute lower-body workout, focusing on the detail of the legs.
    • Day 2 : A predominantly cardio-focused Flow workout, including basic moves done in a sequence, broken up into 3 parts first done with the right side of your body, then 3 parts done on your left, and eventually both sides of the body combined. Enjoy stamina at its best with this 45-minute workout!
    • Day 3 : A balanced, 50-minute upper-body workout, focusing on the detail of the arms.
    • Day 4 : A 60-minute, full-body workout that includes a combination of legs, flow, arms and incorporates the core.

    Your purchase gives you 16 weeks of access to this dynamic, 8-week Programme.

    Although LEVEL UP was a tough one, seeing the final product makes all of my hard work, not to mention my team’s elbow grease, so worth it. Seeing the changes that my body went through while shooting LEVEL UP was also mind-blowing – I definitely got a lot fitter, leaner and stronger while shooting this programme! I’m really proud of this one.

    Push yourself, step it up and make the effort to make it count. Remember, progress begins outside of your comfort zone, so get ready to level up with bounti LEVEL UP!
