Do You Use a Mini Trampoline?

I have a rebounder (mini trampoline) that we bought about a year ago. I never really used it but now I really want to try to exercise with it. I just need to find a routine to be able to use it every day. Does anyone use a mini trampoline in their home? Did it really help you get fit?

Hi, Shar19. I don't have a mini trampoline. We do have a big one though at our backyard but I never jump onto it. I often run on our treadmill instead. I've read from a book that mini trampolines can make you lose weight cause it shakes you all over. The book was written by Kevin Trudeau and he has a mini trampoline himself. I think it will work if you use it consistently for about 20 min a day. It's all about self motivation. Goodluck and have fun with it.

I have a treadmill too but I get bored so easily with it. I also have Kevin's book and remember reading about that. He made some interesting points in his book didn't he?

Hi, Shar19! No, I don't have a mini trampoline. I never have had one of these. I would like to have one that I can jump on. I have seen many kids jump on these. My neice loves jumping on the trampoline.

The mini ones don't cost much at all and I like that I can use it in the living room.

I have played on a trampoline a few times. I have never tried it on a mini one though.

I use mine on and off when i can not get out to walk everyday because of the weather. What i usually do with mine is put it in the living room and bounce on it while watching tv, it helps to pass the time.

I never had a mini trampoline in my house. I dont think I could handle all the jumping. My kids used to have a big trampoline which they played on but not me.

The big trampolines make me lightheaded. I think it's too much bouncing with so much force.
