Ready to jump to it? Here are a few tips for rebounding beginners:
Maintain your balance: If you’re worried about slipping on the rebounder, try jumping barefoot or in a pair of grippy socks, which will help stabilize you.
Begin with the basics: “Simple but impactful moves like jumping jacks and jogging in place can help acclimate you to the mini-trampoline,” Lyons says.
Find a class: Depending on where you live, you may be able to take an in-person group fitness class, sometimes listed as mini-trampoline or rebounding classes.
Keep it away from kids: Like big, outdoor trampolines, even small rebounders can pose a danger to children, especially those under age 6, so store your equipment someplace where little ones can’t access it.
If you have any concerns about your ability to use a rebounder or how it may impact your body, be sure to check with your doctor before getting started.
