Matthew Mogen 2nd Audio Interview on His Daily Bounce

Posted on Jun 2nd, 2008 by Jordan : LightWriter Jordan
Hello there all rebounding people and potential rebounding people!

On December 14th I interviewed Matthew Mogen (who works for Zaadz/Gaia Community) on his year-long commitment to rebounding daily. (You can read that previous post here, along with some comments, and listen to the previous interview as well: http://enlightenmentdotcom.gaia.com/blog/2007/12/rebounding_45_days_straight_an_audio_interview_w_matthew_mogen)

Well, about a month ago I had a followup interview with Matthew. To listen to the .mp3, go to http://www.jordangruber.com/media/matthew_2ndcheckin.mp3. Matthew has some fascinating things to say about his rebounding practice. Matthew and I talk about:

  • his 25 pounds of weight loss (all fat, he says)
  • how he also went off sugar
  • how he also got a spring-based rebounder for a trip, and how he likes supplementing his bungy-based rebounding with his spring-based rebounding
  • some useful information about rebounding once you have a cold
Matthew also states that he plans on rebounding for the long-run, and that, in general, he's very happy with the changes that he's seen as a result of it.

Please come to my pod on chibounding if you have any interest in rebounding, and if you want to get what I believe is the best rebounder available, please come to http://www.enlightensource.com. NOTE THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, PRICES ARE ABOUT TO RISE AGAIN ON THESE UNITS (the production has moved entirely into Germany), so if you want to get the current prices, kyou have to act by June 15th.

And you can always feel free to write me with any questions.

best bouncing,

Jordan

"Yeah, but...is bouncing FUN?"

Posted on Jun 5th, 2008 by Jordan : LightWriter Jordan
One of the reasons I see rebounding taking off dramatically in the next few years is that, plain and simple, it's a whole lot of fun. It just *feels* really good, and I frequently enter periods of flat-out ecstacy.

From the very first time I got on a quality rebounder 6 years ago (I'm not counting my experience with a cheap rebounder in 1984), I simply really liked the way it felt. There's a physical and energetic expansion which, coupled with the wave-like motion of rebounding, naturally pulls me (entrains me) into states of physical and psychological bliss.

And while video doesn't quite capture the actual feeling, I think that the look on my face in these three videos can give you a pretty good "taste" of what you have to look forward to from a regular rebounding practice.
