Mini trampoline workouts [1] aren't anything new, but I've actually never tried one. I do have a regular outdoor trampoline that I occasionally use with the kids, so I know that even after a few minutes of jumping, I'm sweating and out of breath! So after watching Shantani Moore [2] share this bounce cardio workout using a mini trampoline, I was so pumped and intrigued that I went straight to Amazon to see how much one would cost. Although I've been enjoying my outdoor runs, I saw a red leaf [3] the other day, which reminded me that winter is coming. With colder temps approaching, an indoor trampoline seems like a superfun indoor cardio workout idea!
Since this pandemic isn't going away anytime soon and many gyms remain closed, at-home workouts may be getting a little redundant; bodyweight and dumbbell exercises [4] are effective, but how many squats and push-ups can you do? If you're looking to revamp your home workouts but cardio machines are too expensive and you don't have the space, a mini trampoline offers an affordable cardio option that allows you to get your heart rate up and strengthen your lower body. You can also use it for plank variations [5]. Trampoline workouts are high intensity but low impact, so they're easier on your joints.
You can sign up for mini trampoline workouts with Moore [6], or you can even jump while catching up on Netflix. Read through to see some affordable mini trampolines you can get through Amazon — many will come within days, which is much more accessible than most dumbbells and other sold-out fitness equipment. Happy jumping!
