I have a JumpSport rebounder and love it. With 2 bad knees, it's the best investment I've made so far. I can do all the high impact stuff on it that I'm not supposed to do on the floor, like jogging, jumping jacks, jumping rope (not using a rope, but doing the movements), etc. In fact, I do the Insanity workouts every day, which is very high impact. I just move down to the floor for things like push ups and whatever. I wear an armband that tells me how many calories I'm burning, and it seems to be right on track with what other people burn doing the entire Insanity workout from the floor. Highly recommend a rebounder for anyone with joint problems!0

I just got a rebounder a few weeks ago and I love it. In addition to the great workout, it's an awesome leg toner. I went from flabby legs to calves of steel just a few weeks of using it. Even my thighs are toned (and I've never had toned thighs)!0

What exercises did you do on your rebounder for toned legs, and how long/often did you rebound per day/week?
Thanks for the way of figuring out the calories depending on how much you weigh, that is exactly what I needed to have!
"(Mr. Urban Rebounder Himself). His formula takes your body weight x .0643 to get your rebounding burn per minute. You would then take your # of minutes burned and multiply that by your rebound burn. So if you weigh 150#s and rebound for 30 minutes then you would burn 289.35 calories during your workout)"0 -
I paid 25.00 for a min trampoline and I burn more calories than going to the gym in half the time.
Just Health bouncing, I burned 97 calories in 5 minutes!
There are a lot of people who don't know the benefits of rebounding on a trampoline! NASA invented it.
Check out all the benefits. There are many different sites to read as well.

Thank you for the link. I just ordered a rebounder from a resaler ~$60.0 -
I just got one yesterday. Fantastic.0

I love my rebounder, but mainly use it for slamming a 20 lb medicine ball. With a good slam, I can get the ball on the roof.
I guess it's OK for that other stuff, too.0 -
After reading your posts, I went out and got one! This is great!!! Thank you.0

Old thread. That link also says bras cause cancer. Automatically invalidates everything else.0

Whenever I bounce on a trampoline, it makes me pee a little....stupid kids....
My department had a dodgeball game at a SkyZone (that's where my avatar pic was taken) a couple of months ago. One female colleague who's probably in her late 50s said the same thing about having to worry about peeing a little when she jumped, for the same reason. I wore my heart rate monitor and tried to keep moving and it was a decent workout and a lot of fun. They even have aerobics classes so yes, it can be great exercise. I'm beginning to feel like my knees need a break so this might be a good investment.0 -

Sounds like a great exercise because tuning in the music and doing short bursts is something you can do many times a day. recent research has shown that dividing up the work outs throughout the day is more effective than one shot!
Thanks!0 -
Used to rebound fr 45 min. A day. Have not done it for years! Broke out my rebounder again ad am really enjoying it! The Self website has a rebounding calorie burn calculator. For my weight the burn is approximately 30 cal. For 5 min.
If new to rebounding, be sure to start slow. Only bounce with feet not leaving the mat for a few days. This will still engage your core! Work up to higher and higher bounces...don't do too much too fast so that you give up!
Above all...HAVE FUN!
It s recommended that you do fr 15-20 min. Both morning and evening. This is VERY doable if you watch TV at the same time. Lots of info and ideas on YouTube.0 -
This makes me want to go out and buy one! Little changes here and there to easily build up a nice workout throughout the day instead of once per day! Thanks for the inspiration.0

I'd love an actual full sized trampoline. They've always looked as if they are tons of fun! :bigsmile:0

I'm so glad you posted this--it looks like so much fun! I have to go to Walmart tomorrow anyway so I'll see i they have one there.
@paintlisapurp--totally agree. I'd love to have a giant one on my back porch.0 -
I LOVE my mini-trampoline!! I got it on a whim when I hurt my knee from high impact stuff and needed something that would give me cardio without the impact. I absolutely love it, and it has really helped me get fit very fast. I would love to run every day, but my joints just can't handle it, the trampoline has gotten me into shape for running without the impact of a daily run.
It's also supposed to be good for your lymphatic system, but that could just be bro-science :-)0 -
97 cals in 5 minutes???!!! It's almost 1200 cals an hour. Um, no. I don't think you so dude!0

It's interesting that every article I have ever seen written on rebounding references the same 33 year old NASA study, ferrets out the same 1 or 2 phrases and repeats as established truth. When I first saw the ads from that "rebounding institute" I was puzzled, because I remember looking at this subject 20+ years ago and finding that the research at the time painted a different picture. The research showed that working on a mini tramp represented a fairly low level of exercise and required more vigorous limb movements to bring the work intensity above that of a mild stroll.
I don't have the same resources to medical libraries at home, so I could only find an abstract from one of the studies I read back in 1995. This study looked at using arm swing and hand weights to increase the intensity of walking on a mini trampoline. But it also mentions some of the earlier studies in the introduction:Researchers who studied the effects of rebound exercise on fitness have concluded that the intensity of rebound exercise elicited only minimal improvements in fitness.
This study used a standard protocol of 120 steps per minute, with a step height of 15 cm above the rim of the rebounder. Needless to say, the results showed notable increases in intensity when adding vigorous arm swings holding hand weights.
I think the "magic" effects of rebounding, as espoused by those organizations and companies selling the rebounders--are wildly overstated. as are the claims of calorie expenditure.
Which, of course, does NOT mean that rebounders are a scam or that they are ineffective. They are just not magic.
I do have to add that I have seen some newer infomercials for rebounders that have demonstrated some very creative choreography combining the rebounders with jumps and floor movements that look like they could make for interesting and even effective workouts.
Like anything else, HOW you do the exercise is much more important and plays a much greater role in achieving results that WHAT exercise you do.0 -

Great information on the website. Thank you for sharing!0

Be very careful of Cheap mini Trampolines they can do more damage to your back that you think because of the cheap springs. I went ultra safe and got a very expensive one from the Cellerciser website but after watching the intro video i am convinced i did the right thing as i want this to last a lifetime.
It is a great fun way to exercise especially in the winter.0 -
I pick up my full size trampoline tomorrow. Super excited to add it to my workout routine. Based on the various links and calculations, I'd say it doesn't look like it burns huge amounts but I'm happy if it burns something while I have fun. My joints get enough impact from fencing so adding a low impact workout that will help with building fitness and toning muscles is ideal for me.0
-
Make sure you check it out cause not everyone will burn the same amount of calories. I put my stats in and didn't come up with 80 or 90 some calories in 5 min. but 20 some. Just check out all the info for you yourself. Hate you thinking you can do a small amount and burn lots when it may not be true for you.0

Why would these be bad for your back , being low impact? My back is an issue for me right now and I am looking for low impact things. I happen to have a mini tramp and was wondering about using it.0 -
I use the mini trampoline and watch You Tube exercise videos, and honestly I feel like I'm about to drop dead after 20-30 minutes of following the "simple" trampoline exercises.
Completely ridiculous, insanely sweating, killer workout!
This is coming from someone who HATES to exercise! Trampoline workouts are by far the MOST intense!0 -

try squatting your body weight plus- then get back to me on them being the "most" intense.0 -

THIS. I finally almost hit my BW squat today (5 more lbs!!!) and I'm sweating my face off after 5 reps. I'm sorry, I just don't see how jumping on a trampoline burns that many calories. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. I mean it's definitely going to burn some cals, but as much as running or something else high intensity? Doubt it.0
