Susan in TN Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 That's about it. Do you / have you had a rebounder? What kind and what was your experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH_Homeschooler Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Like a mini-trampoline? Easy to set up in front of the TV and just sort of jog on it for a half hour or however long you want to use it. You can do more intense moves too, but I am happy with jogging.

dsmith Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I purchased a basic mini-trampoline at Dick's for about $35. I love to use it while watching tv, and I periodically hop on it throughout the day. My nephew loves it too, my son not so much. The only problem is where to put it when not in use. My mil has tripped over it twice now, and she's convinced that she can use it without killing herself, lol. Like the previous poster, I just use it for jogging. My nephew loves to bounce on it.

Susan in TN Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 That's good to know - as always I obsess about which model to buy - "if I don't spend $500 on a super fancy one I'll ruin my joints for life, etc. etc." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 We used to keep it in the family room, and the kids would take turns bouncing on it while watching television. It was particularly handy during exciting shows since it was a way to work off the energy. Now it's in the basement. I use it a couple of times a week to jog on. I am somewhat obsessed with the idea of making sure lymph moves -- which I realize is a weird thing to spend much time thinking about -- but, anyway, a rebounder is good for pumping the lymphatic system. I seem to recall that younger dd learned to stand by pulling herself up on the rebounder. She would also climb onto it and then sit on it while bouncing. So there are some bonus uses if you have a baby in the house. We have the lower cost ones, and they've lasted for years and years. One of them belonged to my parents, but they gave it to us when they downsized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink&bluemommy Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I really like our jumpsport the fitness trampoline, it has bungees. It's like the expensive bellicon but a lot less money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKim Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I really like our jumpsport the fitness trampoline, it has bungees. It's like the expensive bellicon but a lot less money! This is what I have. I had gotten one of the cheaper ones first, to see if I was going to like it. It seemed fine - until I tried my friend's jumpsport! I know this sounds like a commercial, but I could not believe the difference! It made my cheaper one feel like jumping on concrete by comparison! I have had this one for over a year now. A couple months ago, the bungees had become really stretched out ( my two daughters and I use it ever day), so I called the company, and since it was still under 2 year warranty, they sent me brand new bungees for free. Now it is just like new again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I LOOOOOOOOOVE my rebounder. I have a Needak and it is very comfortable. Several years ago my husband bought me a cheap replacement rebounder at Wal-Mart when my first one died; it was horrible. That Wal-Mart piece of junk was used for less than 3 min. and I was in severe pain for a WEEK. At the time I was doing more than an hour on the rebounder so being in such pain after such a short amount of time was completely atypical. I'll never own another cheapie again. Ever.

Susan in TN Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Well, I decided to get the Urban Rebounder - not considered the best, but better than Walmart brand :D . For the time being, it's the best I can afford. If I like rebounding, I'll start saving my pennies for a better quality (and quieter?) one. The jumpsport sounds really nice!

Hoot Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I've tried the Urban Rebounder; they're very good, too. In the same quality range as the Needak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
