addicted to minimins
Hi all,
I have been using a stationary Schwinn bike with pump handles for most of my exercise because I struggle with joint and foot problems. The bike is in my basement, and I can't much afford a gym membership, otherwise I would and I would swim! (I used to be a varisty swimmer in HS, I miss it!)
I have become interested in purchasing a mini trampoline to exercise on. There are some really expensive ones, but I have heard that the $30-$40 mini tramps that can be found at WalMart and such do fine for many people.
I am here to ask:
1. Does anybody do rebounding/mini trampoline exercises?
2. What do you jump on (brand name, etc) and how has that held up for you?
3. Has this exercise been effective for your weight loss and fitness?
I grew up jumping on our family's big trampoline until I actually broke it after we'd had it for a number of years... I would love to have this as an alternate option to using the bike, which gets boring sometimes.
:gimi:
Thanks for your input!!
