Any rebounders in the cafe? I have been reading about some of the health benefits from jumping and I think this is something I might consider.
Of course then I look on Amazon and there are 200 choices for mini trampolines. I would like one (with a handle bar) of higher quality than the $30 ones from the 1980’s, but don’t want to break the bank on what could become just another unused piece of exercise equipment. Anyone have experience with these?
When someone says “trampoline,” I hear “injuries.” Is there a gym nearby where you can test it out?
Meanwhile, when someone says “trampoline,” I think “what a pain to put up and take down.” (We got one for my daughter while she was on the gymnastics team in high school and she continued using it for fun during summer breaks from college.)
^^Me too - my daughter broke her ankle in 3 places on a trampoline and required surgery to pin it. I’d always rolled my eyes at the trampolines are dangerous warnings till that day (orthpaedic surgeon surgeon said he does a lot of surgeries related to trampoline injuries).
I jumped on my daughter’s trampoline a few times last year. In earlier years, I would get dizzy and my ankles would hurt a lot when I bounced on it. Last year, my body reacted much better to it. I’d say to try one at a gym before investing in even a mini.
While in high school our S had a summer job working for a pet boarding place. A frequent guest was a little Corgi who came in with a mini trampoline. Our S said that the Corgi would jump on his doggie bed, onto the trampoline then spring in the air. He would do it for hours. I wish he’d taken a video.
My orthopedic brother in law calls the full size trampolines his retirement account…
That’s what the ortho that luminescent daughter’s ankle said.
Cute story about the corgi - I can just picture it.
oops…I was talking about those little ones that you can have in your house…maybe 35-40" in diameter
Yes, we understand. I think posters are saying that just because they are little, people assume they are less dangerous. Not exactly true:
