I purchased rebounder today and started watching related videos and found yours.. This is the only video which really taught me as a beginner and therefore I subscribed… thank you so much …
Glad I could help! I have an entire "getting started" playlist with other helpful videos. Have fun with your new rebounder! Reach out any time with questions or if I can point you in the direction of some helpful beginner workouts.
Echo lots of other people here, thanks so much for being so precise and informative about corretct technique. I too have caused myself pain and minor injury from doing it incorrectly, and your demonstrations really helped. Especially the side views, so many people only give front on views which aren't that helpful with regard to knee bend and hip hinge. Mega helpful. 😄
Among all the trampoline exercises for beginners & seniors, you have given very clear instructions and that's why I've subscribed to your channel. Plenty to learn for me as I'm very new and recovering from my knee injury 🙃 🙂 peace from Malaysia 🇲🇾 looking forward to following your exercises every morning. Have a great day or evening 💐
Thankyou! Newbie here and 68, I have poor muscle strength in my hip/small back…and broken ankle 5 months ago. No where does anyone instruct of do’s and dont’s. Just recently got a bellicon. The last thing I need is an injury! I really need safe muscle toning, core strength, etc. whatever I can do for improvement!
Excellent instructions for a beginner/senior. I made an investment and want to get the most out of it. Love the three minute videos. They are fun and well orchestrated. Thanks!
This is very helpful. When I first got my rebounder, my form wasn't right. I have a weak knee and I ended up hurting myself. Now I know what to do differently! Thanks so much.
What happened to you unfortunately happens to a lot of people. I'm so glad you came across this video and now have the proper form information! Happy bouncing!!
Brilliant channel. So glad i find you like Steve said prrviously. So many workouts ‘out there’ are so hard for new rebounders like me but yours are perfect 👍👏
Welcome to my channel, and thanks so much! My channel is really organized if you use the playlist feature. Everything is grouped into categories. Let me know if you have any trouble navigating or need assistance finding a workout.
Thanks so much for this! I started rebounding just a few weeks ago (on a spring-loaded rebounder), and I was jumping high, twisting, and didn't have correct form. As a result, I hurt the back of my right leg behind the knee, on my lower hamstring, and on my upper calf. I am still recovering from that. Since then, I've ordered a bungee rebounder (JumpSport), knee compression socks, and am doing my best to learn correct form before I go back to rebounding. Thanks again for your tips and instructions on proper form!
Unfortunately, what you experienced happens to a lot of people. Many beginners don't realize there is a proper form and end up with injuries. I'm working to change that!! Glad you found this video!
When I started rebounding a few weeks ago I experienced some mild problems with my lower back. Maybe, bad posture. Or maybe, not, since I am doing a lot of rope jumping and Indian clubs workouts. I believe what helped me was some additional exercise to decompress my spine: stretching, some yoga poses, and a lot of hanging! I watched many rebounding videos for beginners and nobody is talking about any other additional to rebounding exercises which may be helpful. It feels like a wonderful, but closed world of a trampoline rebounding ... :)
I have an entire playlist of exercises people should be doing in addition to rebounding. My beginner progression plan encourages 2 yoga and 2 toning workouts weekly. Also, your issue with your low back when first starting is common. For many it's due to a lack of core strength. It takes time to build the strength necessary to rebound for an extended period of time. You may have started with too much too soon. I often recommend only a few minutes at first. Depends on many factors including age and activity level.
@@EarthOwl After 6 weeks I spend 20-25 minutes on a trampoline 5-6 times per week: 10-12 minutes Indian club workouts, 5-6 minutes playing with a small slam ball, and finally, 5 minutes of more active jumping, then some hanging and backyard work to cool down. BTW, compression pants help.
Well now I see why I’m hurting. I’ve been doing everything wrong the past few days since I’ve had it. Bouncing on toes, not engaging core, not bending but standing straight. Limping around house but my upper thighs are getting tighter lol. Thank you for tips. I’m gonna heal two days and start over.
SO MANY people get rebounders and hop on without knowing there is a method. Luckily you realized pretty quickly. Lots of people give up because their bodies hurt and they can't figure out why. I'd definitely suggest checking out some of my other beginner videos! Thanks for watching!!
The cellerciser brand is the best and safest one to use- you don’t have to worry about all these tips on that - it’s actually beneficial to switch you feet position on that
I'm waiting for my trampoline to be delivered, can't wait to follow along with your Beginner workouts. One question, shoes or no shoes? I noticed you don't wear shoes but Grandma Helen does. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks Nikki
@@EarthOwl thanks. I have very poor posture, lower back herniation, rounded shoulders and fwd head so was thinking i needed to be upright and such. Also had a knee replacement so glad to know about knees.
Thank you so much for this :)! WOndering what it looks like from he side when you put all this postural stuff together - I was wishing I could see what it looks like from the side when you are bouncing pushing your feet down, and with the right knee and hip alignment.
Thank you for this. I just bought a mini with a balance handle. The rebounder made with springs, but seems to have a good amount of give. I had knee surgery two years ago and have three pins in my knee. As long as I don't go crazy with high jumping, should this still be safe for me? (I know this would be your opinion not "medical advice"!)
I do have many participants with knee problems including several with full knee and hip replacements. Of course they've spoken with their physicians. Definitely take it slow. Modify where needed. I have lots of workouts where your feet don't even leave the mat!
Hi there! Is it possible your lower backache is from improper form? If you continue with improper form, yes it would probably get worse. If you adjust your form and take it slow, I should think the backache would lessen. You may need to take a few rest days in between to gauge your results and determine if improving your form takes care of the backache. Good luck!
That's a really good question. I would say no. For the most part, I'm thinking more about my posture while stretching. There are a few stretches where I might engage my core a little, such as a standing side bend. Hope that helps!
Depends on your goals. If your'e doing it for lymphatic health, 2-3 minutes several times a day is sufficient. Many people aim for 20 minutes and some bounce up to an hour. It's really up to you.
For me, slightly bending forward in the “athletic pose” hurts my lower back. I have degenerative dish disease with the lower two disks being bone on bone. Suggestions?
Just want to verify first that you have doctor permission to rebound. One of the reasons a "hinge" at the waist is helpful is that bouncing too upright can compress the low back. If your physician does recommend rebounding, I'd keep the movements quite gentle with one or both feet staying in contact with the trampoline mat. Hope this helps!
Oh darn! Thank you for letting me know. I've been having trouble with that link. If you go to www.earthandowl.com and click "buy a trampoline" from the menu, that also works. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and I'll work on getting it resolved!
For some, rebounding can actually help light bladder leak problems. My tips are to avoid liquid about 60-90 minutes before your workout, use the restroom right before, and engage the muscles of your pelvic floor the whole time you jump. If you're not sure how to do that, there are lots of videos out there that explain it. It's a bit like a kegel exercise. Lastly, I recommend the speax by thinx underwear.
@@EarthOwl Thank you. I will look up the exercises. One woman said she was told by her doctor not to use the rebounder since her “pelvic parts were falling”. So when you mentioned the bladder leaks I didn’t want to create a further problem. It seems to me the pelvic parts need gentle developing not avoiding or one would be told not even to go walking!
@@joyceschetter5871 There are contraindications for pelvic prolapse. I would definitely consult physician if that is the case, but if it’s mild bladder leakage most people are fine to rebound.
