Rebounder/Mini Trampoline - Anybody Use One?

Okay, we've talked about vibration platforms.  How about rebounders?  Do you use one?  Tell us about your experience. Thanks.

I have a Bellicon and I use it often - mostly on the days when I can't get out to jog or walk.

At my age I would bounce right off it lol.

I would enjoy using it but at my age, my bladder would not agree, if you get my drift !! I do use a mini stepper, no issues with that .

It doesn't have to be so bouncy.  At least with the Bellicon, you can choose the strength of the "pad" (I don't know what to call that thing).  I chose the strongest because I mainly just do quick steps and side-to-side steps.  I never feel unstable.  I don't do the jumping like you see children doing on their enormous backyard trampolines.  It's just a low-impact and fun thing to do while watching tv.

I do!  Supposed to be great for the lymphatic system.

I bought a nice one during covid to use while working from home, and gyms closed.  
it folds down well, where it has been for a while! I need to access it for some jogging or hopping when I don't want to do gym.  

They are nice for some cardio, doesn't do anything for bones, so think that's why is folded up! I was more into strength training!

You have to have excellent balance to use a trampoline and many older people do not.  I'd kill myself.

I have a rebounder and I do use it!  And I'm old!Smiley Wink

 

Mine has a "handle" to steady yourself with.  It is easier than walking and it's fun. 

 

Mine is in a spot on my screened porch that gets morning sun.  You don't have to jump on it!   Just bounce to get benefits.  I do feel better when I use it!

 

Walking tends to make my feet hurt, rebounding does not!

I use a mini trampoline several times a week....there is an attached bar for balance, but I don't need to use it.  I have had mine for several years.
