Hi everybody! This is MsBootcamp, doing my "once every 7 years" check-in! (Joking!) REBOUNDING, or bouncing, on a mini-trampoline is always a great workout! It seems so "easy," and it feels incredible. And, YES, something that feels this much fun IS great for you, at the same time! Years later, I still have my mini-trampoline, which happens to be the Urban Rebounder brand (which I bought, new, in 2005). Do yourself and your family and friends a favour, and buy the BEST quality (technical quality - the parts) mini-trampoline you can afford to buy. You or your loved ones can get hurt on a cheap trampoline that has flimsy parts. But, most likely, you can even buy a sturdy quality mini-trampoline - lightly to moderately used - at a yard sale, or on Craigslist, for example! First, DO YOUR HOMEWORK on rebounder quality. I have two small grandchildren, and I have NEVER allowed them to bounce - or even be around - the rebounder alone. From Day 1, I explained Grandma's rules to them, and showed them how we would always "hold hands" while they were on the trampoline, and how we would not "bounce high," nor bounce out-of-control, and I showed them the hard (metal) parts of the trampoline that can do damage, and why we must bounce in the MIDDLE of the trampoline, and keep our balance. Never lost a grandchild yet; no injuries!! (Knock wood!) This Grandma is vigilant, sets the example for the kids, and requires that we bounce by the rules. All adds up to fun + fitness. I bounce almost every day! Have a ball!!
