Your progressive bounti rebounding journey... From beginner to pro
Sep 15, 2023
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 programs available. It’s completely understandable if you’re feeling overwhelmed or confused with where to begin.
Starting a workout program 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!

Introducing, the 4-week bounti Foundation Program! This program is ideal for anyone who’s looking to start from the absolute grassroots of rebounding.
We recommended this program 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 program 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.

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 Program 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 program 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 program takes you right from the absolute basics of, not just rebounding, but fitness as a whole.
This program is also amazing if you want to utilize rebounding strictly from a wellness aspect rather than a fitness or strength aspect. The basic exercises in this program are excellent at circulating your lymph and releasing toxins from the body.
Hopefully, this program 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 program is the perfect precursor to our Beginner's Program.

If you’re still new to rebounding and looking for a step-by-step guide to get you started, my bounti Beginner's Program 2.0 is an effective 8-week rebounding course, designed to take you from newbie to expert in no time!
Our Beginner’s Program 2.0 is actually the second version of this program, where we’ve upped the quality and enhanced the experience it presents to you. Although the key principles, focus and purpose of the program 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 program, my own level of rebounding skill and proficiency have improved significantly! Not only are you getting a better experience with this 2.0 program 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 program 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 program 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 program includes:
- An introductory welcome video on what to expect from the entire program 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 program
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:
- Light dumbbells (0.5, 1 or 1.5kgs)
- Mini Pilates Ball
- Set of Mini Loop Resistance Bands
- Long Resistance Band
- Exercise mat
- Fabric Booty Band
- Weighted Bar (in a weight of your choice, but 2-3kgs recommended for beginners)
- Adjustable Ankle Weights
My goal with this program is to get you started slowly, and build your rebounding fitness in a way that is gradual and enjoyable!
The 8-week program 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 program 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 Program, the Beginner’s Program takes everything up to a whole, new level. Where the Beginner’s Program takes you on an 8-week journey, from 10 to 60 minutes of bouncing, the Foundation Program takes you on a 4-week journey, from 2 to 20 minutes of rebounding. This Beginner’s Program is a natural step up, only after you are totally comfortable with our bounti Foundation Program, and find it easy enough to take your rebounding up a notch!
Please also be mindful of the fact that while the Foundation Program was shot with the use of an optional Support Bar to hold onto while you need the extra stability, this Beginner’s Program 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 Program too difficult, please consider the bounti Foundation Program instead.

After completing the Beginner’s Program, 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 4-week program gives you bounti workouts from various instructors, including me, and provides an exciting challenge that will take your rebounding to new heights.
Each week includes 4 different style workouts:
- Day 1: Lisa G’s HIIT Class
- Day 2: Steph’s Sculpt Class
- Day 3: Tertia D’s Swift Class
- Day 4: A slightly more advanced class with me, Lisa R
Although we have a whole collection of intermediate and advanced classes, our bounti Intermediate Program really bridges the gap between "beginner" and "advanced", in a way that challenges you at gradual and sustainable pace.
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 Program 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!
