Rebounding exercise??

[fedupoffeelingtired]

Having a clear out of the garage we came across a mini trampoline, been looking at rebounding exercise videos on you tube and wondered if anyone here does it or knows if it's ok for us to do it. Will be checking with my GP when I can. It has so Many health benefits, tempted to give it a go

We used to use mini-trampolines in our cardio rehab exercise, but I would check with cardiac nurse or GP first,. I’m expect it depends on what you’ve got, and had done! Good luck.....see what else you can find!

Yes the mini trampoline was on my cardiac rehab circuits too. I try to replicate the circuits as best I can up to BORG scale 13 as advised by cardiac physios. Also the BHF website has videos of exercises and they are graded.

Good exercise but often an accident waiting to happen.

Check first. I bought a treadmill in December. Use it as well as my rehab stuff.

I think you would find it more beneficial to go out for as brisk a walk as you can, or even a jog/run as you get fitter. Better than just bouncing up and down and a damn sight safer!

Unless you get hit by a bus 😂🤣🙃

We walk between 2-5 miles every day. Looking for something different to do now and again

I'm wondering what medications you're on - since starting Bisoprolol 1.25mg (once a day) I find I'm less steady on my feet than I was before I started it April 2019 so the thought of trying to use a mini-trampoline for anything is too far out of my comfort zone. I'm great at walking on level ground but I'm not at all confident in how well my sense of balance would hold up on a mini-trampoline.

Have you thought about dancercise in your living room, or (and) resistance bands? Free weights?

Good thinking to check with your doctor before giving it a go - he/she will know what meds you're currently on and any symptoms of reactions to those meds you've reported.

If you are doing that distance daily maybe you could discuss with your GP about coming off any Beta Blockers you might be on? When I was on one, it floored me, it was like having a giant elastic band holding me back. Failing that you might need a rest day now and again.

I had previously suffered with awful fatigue, I think it was part of the build up to my ha. 16 months on I don't get fatigue like that any more. I get bored easily so like to have a range of things to do and alternate each week. Being sat down and told I'd had a ha and needed a stent at the age of 47 was a complete shock. I don't ever want to go thru that again. I keep myself active knowing my limits, and keep my fingers crossed for a good long life
