Cardio recommendations from my personal experience : climbing machine and trampoline

I recently purchased a mini trampoline and a climbing exercise machine. I am finding them to both be excellent. I at the very least walk daily but I’m wary of running often out of concern for my joints and feet long term. How than can I get my heart rate up sufficiently? This climbing machine is a harder workout for me than running but has zero impact!

And the trampoline is said to be good for blood flow to the brain and lymphatic drainage. I only do it for 10 minutes a day as I ease in to things (prone to being overly cautious)

It’s my hope that sharing this may be of help.

Keep on moving! 🏃🏼‍♀️

Trampoline

I like that it has a handle 🤠

Fast-walk on hilly roads (inclines) definitely will get your heart rate up in no time. A treadmill on an incline also works. God forbid call it a rebounder or someone might chastise you. 😂healthunlocked.com/cure-par...

Is what I bought not good enough? 🙃. I thought there wouldn’t be much difference. From what the other thread said, maybe I’m wrong. Another thread on this subject recommended this one

Rebounder

[rescuema in reply to Hidden]

It's perfectly good enough. 👍

Thank you 🤓

i have been enjoying using a rowing machine for cardio. try one out at your gym and see if you like it but ask a fitness coach to show you the proper way to row.

I have been rebounding for a month & love it. I have made my own playlist & am up to 60 mins a day. Great for the lymphatic system, brain and so much more. Check out notes from this article I read. " Can you guess the one reason everyone should rebound? It's your BRAIN! Cross lateral movement forces the brain to send signals across the corpus callosum, a fiber bridge connecting the two hemispheres, improving communicate and connectivity. Cross lateral movement is good for any brain, helps children with reading and writing, and aids a rehabilitating brain. More reasons.... Enhances digestion and elimination.

Just to clarify, this is from jumping on a trampoline? You do that for an hour?

Thank you!

I have a mini-trampoline too. I like it and it's not easy either LOL. Mine is bigger. I was afraid I'd step off of it, LOL. But maybe that wasn't necessary.

How is the climber on your knees? I used to use a stair stepper, but it got painful. But I love how portable it looks. It gets difficult, stuffing equipment into my dinky space.

[Hidden in reply to Godiv]

This climber is so much harder than my older stair stepper. Adding the upper body makes it very hard. I do it 10 minutes then break for a few minutes. I think of it as HIIT. I suspect it’s easier on the knees than stair stepper bc much of the effort is upper body. I highly recommend it!

[Godiv in reply to Hidden]

Okay, thanks! It makes sense that involving the upper body would help. I'm also learning to rotate activities better. I have a friend who's a fan exercise DVDs. She keeps wondering why she's got this or that injury. I keep saying, "Because you use the same DVD every single day!" Repetitive motion will do it to ya.

I've wanted a Maxi climber since I saw the movie, Sleeping With the Enemy. It works all of the leg muscles plus the shoulders. This has got to get your heart rate to its maximum.

[Hidden in reply to kaypeeoh]

I learned about it when researching low impact HIIT. I can run up steep hills and often do but this thing kicks my butt and 5 minutes my heart is really thumping!

Le Bron James uses one!

I’m a small woman so that is all I have in common with Le Bron James. ☺️

[kaypeeoh in reply to Hidden]

Do you have a heart rate monitor? Dr Mercola writes about HIIIT. He says 30 seconds effort at 90% of maximum, then 90 seconds recovery, done eight times.
