Mini Trampoline Rebounder For Weight Loss: 5 Mini Trampoline Exercises To Help You Lose Weight Fast

Oct 16 by Joanna

If you are looking for easy exercises to start moving and losing weight, then you may consider getting a mini trampoline and trying some exercises that are described below.

With a mini-trampoline you can literally bounce your way to thinner you while improving your fitness level and having fun at the same time. Using a mini trampoline rebounder is an easy and fun exercise that you can do at home while watching tv or listening to music. Your kids will love it too (if you have them, that is).

While I don’t usually like and recommend buying latest fitness machines that promise to help you lose 20 pounds in two weeks, I think that rebounding, or simply speaking jumping on a trampoline is a great high intensity, low impact workout as well as a indoor activity for the whole family.

When not in use use, most of the mini trampolines can be just folded for easy storage –folding trampoline is always a welcome feature.

If you are worried about safety, you may try using one of the larger spring-less trampolines. They are sometimes criticized for not being as bouncy as conventional metal-spring ones, but they are safer – an important consideration for a mini-trampoline that is to be used indoors.

A mini trampoline is a great perfect use for body toning exercise workout while you watch your favorite sports game. Durable steel frame and elastic suspension system and with safe design with high tension bands (no springs means no sharp spring ends) for hours of fun. Exercise trampolines provide high-intensity, low impact workout.

Which mini trampoline should you buy to get the best value?

There are many brands that are available on the market, at different prices and quality.

Urban rebounder is a popular brand that is recommended by many users. I had to laugh though, looking at the pictures of a very fit and muscular young couple promoting urban rebounder trampoline on their website.

I have to make one thing clear, though, as this picture is highly misleading – rebounding, jumping, exercising, or whatever you call it – on a trampoline alone will NOT get you that physique, LOL.

I don’t care what trampoline it is – urban rebounder trampoline or any other - you need to do some serious weight lifting, and of course lose excess weight to have your muscles visible like that.

Here are some mini trampoline exercise ideas to get you started.

Mini trampoline exercise ideas

Jumping jacks. From standing, feet together and arms by your sides. Jump your feet apart and lift your arms (to the sides) above your head. Then back to the start position. Ensure your feet land on the trampoline bed when you jump (not on the frame).

Cross country skiing. Jump your feet back and forth across the mini trampoline, toes pointed forward, lifting your feet slightly as you jump. Swing your arms in sync with the opposing legs. Get into a rhythm.

Knee raises. This is basically jogging on the spot, but lifting your knees up high as you do. As each knee comes up, touch it with the opposing hand (or elbow to make it harder). Get into a rhythm.

Bicycle crunches. Lie on your back, hands supporting the back of your head (elbows pointed to the sides), hips and knees bent at right angles (feet off the floor). Straighten your left knee while bending your right knee further. Use your abs to lift and turn your upper body to bring your left elbow towards your right knee (don’t cheat by bending at your shoulder!). Repeat with the opposite knee and elbow to create a bicycle kicking action and simultaneous body rotation.

Sprinting. Pump your legs and arms as fast as you can. Or start on the ground, run on to the trampoline, then back to the ground. Left foot on, right foot on (forwards) – left foot off, right foot off (backwards). Remember to use your arms.

Below are some good videos to get you jumping:

Of course, if you have a backyard, you may want to get a big trampoline with enclosure – that will really get you moving!
