Rebounder trampoline. Any thoughts?

I have been looking at those small indoor rebounder trampolines, and some YouTube videos.
Are they any good for a bit of an indoor workout for an older person with creaky joints? I want low impact so my bones don't crumble to dust....

If you get one you have to be really careful.I did my back in on one....not doing anything unusual either! The ones with elastic rather than springs are probably better but more expensive. I got one that folds but it's quite hard to actually fold it.

I got mine from Decathlon and it is bungees not springs and great, a fraction of the price of the Bellicon.
For classes I use ‘moveyourframe’ online they do a great range of rebounder classes and also many other like pilates, dance, yoga If you want variety.
Love my rebounder!! Best lockdown buy and is definitely making a difference.

I also do Sanfran Fitness on Youtube - lots of beginners workouts and tips to get you started.
I have been rebounding for years and it is so good for your body - just read anything about it - I don't understand why more people don't do it.
All of these people trying to force themselves into doing running when a rebounder can be just as good and much lower impact on your body. And you can add weights to make workouts more challenging and/or you can just put on some music and do your own thing.
In terms of buying a rebounder, I would definitely recommend getting a bungee cord one and buy the best you can afford. Cheap ones won't last as well.

Ooh brilliant thread. I'll check out the links. I have a cheap, old one from Argos, and I'm 17 stone. It's holding up fine!
I can gently bounce for about an hour now, and do while I'm watching tv. It's great when it's too wet for a walk! I bounce more vigorously at intervals, changing my gait and my upper body movements.
I have Fibro and injure myself at the drop of a hat, and I struggle with impact. It's working brilliantly for me.
