mini trampoline

I love mine. I bounce while listening to podcasts. I have the Walmart version which seems very sturdy to me and fits under the bed when I am done with it.

I absolutely love my mini trampoline (belacor brand). The one I have is very expensive, but the mat part is attached with bungee cords instead of springs. The bounce is incredible, plus it is a good 12 inches off the ground. I had a cheaper typical mini trampoline years ago, but it squeaked alot, and many times I thought I would come close to hitting the floor and just plain fall apart (maybe i'm just a little aggressive on it though
I do this along with the 30ds for jumping jacks, and you can actually run on it. Also, they make them for different body weights.

Anyway, I love it, its pricey yes, but its a really good product. The bungee cords make a world of difference

What a great idea! What is the impact on the ankles like? I am recovering from a bad sprain, so I am looking for lower impact cardio options.

I have one of the Wal-Mart cheapie ones and I like it. I know that it helps a lot with blood sugar problems. I was not feeling well this past Sunday which often affects my blood sugar. I took a reading and it was elevated so I used the mini for 10 minutes and dropped my blood sugar about 50 points. It's a good workout without hurting the joints.

I just bought the urban rebounder on amazon for about $100. Seems like very good quality for not too expensive.
Got one at Academy for $25, and it doesn't have springs! I thought the bounce was bad so I returned it.

Anyone closer to the 300lb mark ever used the urban rebounder? I've seen one on the website that says its a gym urban rebounder with a 350lb weight limit and one on amazon that says 300lb weight limit. I'm just a little shy of 300 so I was wondering if it will really hold up.
