I have had this trampoline for 3 weeks now and feel like I have given it a fairly through test before this review. I love it.
I have RA and I am always looking for low impact exercise options that dont bore me. A trampoline was suggested to me for cardio health and endurance, but especially working on better balance. Im not out here doing backflips or high jumps. Im bouncing and jogging and doing squats and twists knowing that when I land Im going to not hurt myself. Its a wonderful feeling being able to dance and bounce and move my body without excess caution. I probably look ridiculous to anyone who can see over my fence, but I dont even care. I set up a bluetooth speaker and blast my workout music and set the lights to go like its a disco... trust me, its a lot of fun and I look forward to my time out there.
Please be aware that, youll probably need some help setting this up. Thankfully I had some neighbor men come over and put it together for me. I think itd be very difficult for just one person to set up, but these three men had it set up very quickly. Also, it is easy enough for my lawnmower kid to move over in the yard when he mows, so that isnt a problem at all, like I suspected it might be. I have the 12ft one, its a good size, not excessively large like some others Ive seen in my neighborhood, its just pretty perfect. It tucks nicely next to my deck and patio area. Weve had rain three times since I set this up and can confirm no damage from that. Well see what happens when the snow comes and if its bad Ill edit the review, but I think its going to be fine. I feel like Ive looked this over fairly well and all the essential components seem to be of a high quality.
My kids and grandkids have been over to try it out and they are delighted to have a trampoline in their Bubbes yard. They were kept busy for a long time, laughed a lot and were worn out afterward which their parents appreciated. My daughter in law has even allowed her toddler in there after she inspected the net and decided it would be safe for him. I assured her that I had banged against it myself more than once by accident and it had kept me safe, so for sure it would not give way on a small boy. I also love the way the net supports bow away from the net so when I do fall against the sides, I dont get bruised from the poles, this is a great feature for me. The kids added my mid sized stability ball to their trampoline play and left it out there when they left, so on a whim I decided to add it to my routine too for some low impact upper body work.
My conclusions... Dont be afraid to buy this as an adult who needs some exercise or if youre bored with your current routine. This is not just for kids even though they love it too. Ive found it to be safe and fun and easy to use. There are several You Tube videos for large trampoline workouts aimed at adults with limited motion or based on low bounces or low impact as well as more aggressive workouts for able bodied adults. You have to add large trampoline to your search parameters or youll just get rebounder results. Start slow and low bounces to avoid injury if you have issues, but I found I could fairly quickly add some moves with the music. Im happy.
Great exercise, even for adults
