About the Mini Tramp....

I'm referring to the trampoline, not a small person who sleeps around.
I was planning on buying one. Yesterday I decided to check my daughter's Twitter page. I don't check it often so I had missed quite a bit. One thing she said was "Who knew a mini tramp could cause so much pain?" My daughter is an athlete. If a mini tramp is causing her pain, then it sure as heck is going to cause me pain... unless she is getting fibro too. I'm always worrying about my girls developing it and there are signs that it could be happening. I sure as heck hope not.
So I am thinking I'll hold off on getting the mini tramp. I'm a little disappointed. Though my daughter is coming home from university tomorrow for reading week (Yay!), I will ask her exactly what she did to cause so much pain.
Tired of the brick walls. Obviously I'm not strong enough to break them down.

You're thinking of a pogo stick. A trampoline is something you can bounce on and get the effect of jumping rope without the pressure on the bones.
The mini trampoline is the one on the right.

If you read the comments below you would have seen that I posted what happened. She was jumping on the tramp, then OFF the tramp onto a mat. She believes it was the landing on the mat that put the pressure on the joints that the tramp doesn't do that caused her pain. So the mini trampoline is a go. I'll check out Walmart next time I'm out.

I would question using the trampoline too. Try it first to see if it is okay for you. Only you can be the judge of that. What works for one may not work for another. I know that when I was walking with my daughter, I was gaining strength and becoming a little less fatigued. My joints still bothered me though. I have arthritis.

It is possible she just jumped wrong and put her foot through the springs or some such. I got rid of my full size trampoline before I even knew I had fibro as it was making me hurt when and if I used it. I am considering a mini as well, because you can walk or run on it. I feel like if I jumped I am so heavy I would simply bottom out.

I remember when Kirstie Alley was first a spokesperson for Jenny Craig she did an interview with Entertainment Tonight or some other show and showed them how she danced on the mini tramp because it was fun and a good workout. I doubt my daughter jumped on it wrong. I'll have to find out. She comes home tomorrow!!!!

I would think a mini tramp could be strenuous?

In this case, it's the short form for trampoline.

Maybe it is the way you use them that causes the problem. It will be useful to talk to your daughter about it.

I thought trampolines were fun but did not know it could cause pain. May be your daughter can shed more light on it.
