Trampolines - good for weight loss or not?

I was thinking that ds (18mths) and I could share a small one. Then if I don't make it to the gym at worth then I could do 5mins bouncing.

Has this worked for anyone?

I haven't tried it but have heard that 10 mins bouncing is the equivalent (sp) of an hours jogging.

good for general fitness.
bad for pelvic floors.

madwomanintheattic ...have been meaning to ask this for a while .. are they bad for already weak pelvic floors? I wondered whether they helped improve the situation at all or exacerbate any existing weakness?

When I went to see the gynae phsio (about my pelvic floor) she said trampolines were the worst thing ever, and should be avoided by all women.

aaah thanks SoMuchToBits - I was hoping that they would be a good idea rather than bad!
