Healthy Habits; Mini Trampoline Rebounding

Mini Trampoline Rebounding
This is a great exercise alternative, especially for winter weather months. A small indoor/outdoor exercise trampoline is a good investment, and if you look around you may even be able to find one used but still in good shape at a thrift store, flea market or online.
There are a ton of free YouTube tutorials with trampoline rebounding exercises and tips. Studies have shown that just ten minutes of rebounding can be as effective as 25-30 minutes of jogging, and is much easier on your joints. It can be done with or without shoes, and in the comfort of your home.
I recommend purchasing a sturdy 40-50 inch indoor exercise trampoline for adults. It can easily be stored out of the way when you aren’t using it. https://www.maxkare.net/products/maxkare-50-spring-less-fitness-trampoline-hexagon-exercise-rebounder Trampoline rebounding allows for your full range of motion at an equal force, and is less expensive than a treadmill or exercise bike.
You can use it for your weekly exercises and also if you are a parent or grandparent, it is a great way for children to get some extra energy out, especially when the weather is bad and they can’t play outside. It is also an excellent tool for kinesthetic learning. My oldest daughter, who’s 27 now, was struggling with her multiplication tables in elementary school. I purchased a mini-trampoline and would quiz her while she jumped. The movement helped her to focus and retain the information quickly.
