  • Mini trampoline - rebounder

    I have heard great things about rebounders (mini trampolines) and I want to get one, but which one? I've seen them in the $60 range and on up. I'd like to not go over $100. Can anyone give some advice on what to look for and if the workout is as good as they say?

    Thanks in advance!

    If you're going to buy a rebounder, try to find one with six legs instead of just 4. The ones with six legs are so much more sturdy.

    If you buy one that folds up, be sure it has a cover of some sort that will protect you from the springs snapping or snagging, cuz those suckers hurt!

    Rebounders are a fun way to get in your aerobic exercise, for sure! When I bought mine, I did buy directly from Urban Rebounder and I've never been sorry. A friend of mine bought a cheaper version from Target or Walmart (don't remember which) and has had to replace hers. Mine is seemingly bullet-proof.

    The videos are awesome too.

    Have fun!

      Thanks so much! I came close to getting a 4-legged one at Scheel's sporting goods. I'm glad I didn't. I did a google search and I see where I can buy the 6-legged w/cover.

      Thanks for the info! Now I feel that I am making an informed decision.
