Bounce on a Mini Trampoline

I have had a couple of mini trampolines, over the years. On the first one, the mesh wore out. When I replaced the first one, I was both surprised and impressed with my second one.

This newer model had more bounce to it. The stretchy fabric has more give to it than what my old mini trampoline had. It was a basic model for around $50.

And then, I got busy with doing other things, and it sat in the basement, awaiting for my return. Well you know what, after I switched to a plant based diet, I got more energy, and also had some extra time, so I got my trampoline out and bought it up to my living room to make it more convenient to use. It was a welcome and fun activity. So much so, that I decided to upgrade to one with more bounce and give to it. I was looking for one with bungee type cords over the metal springs. I liked that there wouldn't be squeaks to it.

I did some research and decided on the JumpSport 350 rebounder. It was within the weight limits for my husband and I, and had a great amount of repetitions that it could handle for its lifetime.



It had added bounce that I wanted, which feels like more fun to me. It is also quieter than the ones with the metal springs that I had before. The legs feel very solid and sturdy.

I had watched videos where people not only jumped on it, but kicked as well. So far my favorite exercises to do on it is to stand and bounce on it, and to just jog in place. Sometimes I also add arm exercises that coordinate with the jumps, and steps.

I like that this a fun way to get extra steps in and I don't have to drive somewhere. I also don't have to think about what the weather is doing.

So this mini trampoline/rebounder has two thumbs up from me.

I found this one online on Amazon. It was delivered rather quickly, and was so much easier to put together than the old models I had. I did not have to stretch metal coils to attach the fabric to the frame. All I needed to do was to attach the legs.

The other main difference is that this one sets a couple of inches higher, and also has a wider area to jump on. That also feels good.
