I saw a video that claimed that jumping on the rebounder for 2 minutes equals 6 minutes of running. Would you agree with that?
Do you find it a good HIIT or aerobic workout?
Also - they come in 40" & 48" - is it necessary to get the bigger one?
Thinking of getting one (to add to my other workout equipment that I hardly use!).
Thanks,
Mary K

My friend rebounds daily for her lymphatic system. It is supposed to be very good for health.
You can just to a light jump.

My DD used to go for rebound therapy. She has a genetic disorder and uses a wheelchair. She would sit on the trampoline and the physio would bounce her. It really helped to strengthen her core, which made a big difference to her overall control. It all came to a screeching halt with covid, and now she lives in a different part of the country where it doesn’t seem to be available.

I've thought about getting one myself as I seem to not want to do the treadmill much any more. It is so boring.
I think size might depend on the size of the person. A larger person might have a wider foot / leg span. It would also depend on the room you have to place and or store it.
I've also heard it is great for the lymphatic system, which I have issues with due to the removal of many lumph nodes.
I think it would be great for HIIT or an aerobic workout. Less stress on the joints and I too have heard the amount of time on the rebounder is at least double of other types of work outs.

I would be interested but I am seriously thinking how can this be less stress on your joints, esp your knees! LOL |

LOL They are less stressful on the knee and hip joints because its not a hard jolt as it would be as if you were doing the exercise on a hard surface. It is the constant impact to a hard surface that damages the cartilage in your joints. The rebounder absorbs a lot of the impact. Yes, it wil give your knees a work out, but more muslce strenthening that impact damage.

Oh gosh! Can you imagine if you missed and hit the edge? Ouch!!
For us lower key exercises, you can get a grab bar with you piece of equipment.
This thread got me to thinking about it a bit more, so went down a small rabbit hole.
I read that quality was a must. Read to avoid some of the cheaper ones because the elasticity of the material may not hold up and if it gets too stretchy, you could twist an ankle or knee while using it.

I'm sure it would be a pretty good workout, but I'm not too keen on peeing myself, which is what would happen if I were to jump on a trampoline!  |

We had a trampoline when the kids were young and I could not jump on it for more than 2-3 times before I was seriously peeing myself.  |

These were a workout fad in the 80s. I remember one of my cousins jumping on his mom’s mini tramp, missing the landing, and cracking his head open on the big wood-cased TV. Good times, good times.
I’d be afraid to use one because that would probably happen to me, too.

I have one and use it to rotate thru with my other exercise equipment. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis with a nice side case of osteoarthritis, prone to terrible bursitis in both hips. For me, mixing up my aerobic activity helps with not aggravating all those medical conditions.
YouTube has a bunch of workouts, great way to learn proper form. I’d say I use it about twice a week (I do aerobic activity 5-6 days a week). I’ve found it a fun addition, I mainly bought it to help rehab my ankle I broke the hell out of 2 years ago. At first I could only use a recumbent bike, which set off the bursitis because of the repetitive motion. Physical therapist recommended the mini-trampoline

I'd put on an album side and jumped for however long the album side was. Then I went to a Jane Fonda style aerobics class, then came home and ran. The mini-tramp was definitely a fun workout. I came close but never bounced off/crashed into anything. |

I seem to not want to do the treadmill much any more. It is so boring. I don't know about rebounder trampolines but this comment resonates with me. It doesn't matter if I watch tv, listen to audiobooks, or music. I just can't stay on a treadmill. Because it's so boring. |
