Are there any fitbit users that use a rebounder? I love my rebounder and all of the health benefits associated with rebounding. If anyone is interested in learning more about rebounding I've attached a link. http://www.extremehealthradio.com/5-benefits-of-rebounding-and-why-you-should-start-rebounding-today...

I love my rebounder and it was my first piece of exercise equipment I ever bought for my home. Now years later I have a fully gym in my basement and I still use that rebounder at least a couple times a week.

Yes, lots of claims are made by "Justin", but only a single study backing one of them!

I don't get into the articles about rebounders and frankly my favorite workouts are running outside or on treadmill if weather bad but I will say that I originally never heard of a rebounder but years I suffered some damage to my lower legs which as a side effect years later I still have lymph issues and sometimes my calves will swell. My doctor recommended one of these to help circulate the fluid back where they need to be and I will say it does work. I also think that people who are overweight and out of shape it can be a good introduction into getting back into fitness.

Actually there are several studies backing the information up. Here's one were NASA backs it up. Again, rebounding may not be for everyone, but I certainly enjoy it. I've noticed a difference in my
Immune system, have less cellulite and am overall more toned since buying my Bellicon. The quality of a rebounder makes a huge difference. I also run, cycle and lift weights. I find jumping to be very fun.

@CAGIRL -- I've had a rebounder since mid-November and literally use it every day. It's the first exercise that I've stuck with for this long without dreading it. I do go out for an early morning walk, but my life circumstances limit my time for any consistent or reliable "alone time" to go exercise outside at other times or at a gym, and I have space constraints, so my Bellicon has been such a blessing to me! So grateful for it and it is FUN! 🙂
If anyone has any favorite YouTube rebounding videos they like, or other resources, please share!

Hi! I have a "Bellicon" rebounder & I love it! 💕 All rebounders are NOT the same. In my opinion, the Bellicon is the best!
I do workouts but I recently started to jog on it, but I tried the run setting on my Fitbit. I jogged for 30 minutes & it gave me my calories but the distance was inaccurate. I understand this because I'm not moving, I'm in one place.
i went out & bought a pedometer to try but I do not know what "stride" distance to put in. Since I'm basically jogging in place, I'm sure the stride is not the same. It was set at 24"
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Currently in month 21 of fibromyalgia dx along with chronic vertigo from an inner ear craniotomy in 2009. It’s now February 2021. 12 years of unsteadiness. Fibromyalgia PAIN has been part of my life since February 18, 2018. No diagnosis until April 2019. I finally got a rebounder/mini trampoline today. I’ve been on it twice already. I’ve always loved trampolines!
is there a way to add rebounder as an exercise?? It’s certainly better on my knees & legs than running. Plus, I can’t run. I fall over! LOL!! If pools were open, I might swim, but that means paying, driving there, getting wet, changing twice. With the rebounder, I can wear my pjs & shower after.

Old question about 1 of the posts in this topic.
The originally linked article makes a whole lot of claims on many different improvements - only 1 study was actually linked that discussed only 1 claim.
http://jap.physiology.org/content/49/5/881.abstract
So either there have been studies on the other claims and not found to be true, because if a study showed true I'd bet they would be linked.
Or no studies have been done. Considering some of those claims do have studies using other methods/devices/changes in life - it is possible to do such a study if someone really wants to fork over the money for it.
So anyone claiming to have seen improvement in other areas should be considered a study of 1 - and you have no idea if the person has the ability to run a study that shows good results using only themselves. No other changes in life made at all, measurable differences and results (placebo effect has been studied and shown to easily effect people's personal viewpoint).
But for sure, like any other exercise - there can be improvements from it, especially starting out, or in uses where other exercise may not be useful.
The study did make the nice point - the improvements from the rebounding are better compared to running AT A SIMILAR intensity.
Of course my example my HR never got that high using my mom's on occasion - I don't think I could run that slow, it would be walking. So yes more improvements than walking similar intensity would provide, easy to see that.
But if I had ability to run (and I do), I'll see much better improvements.
So it has a great place in the scheme of workouts, for some it could allow workouts, for some it could be like many exercise - you'll reach a certain level and no progress will be made, but if the level reached is where you want to be - then great - keep it up!
But many of the claims for what it does has no proof in studies - merely theory, and people running their likely poorly controlled study of 1.
So do it for the workout and improvements that any cardio workout can provide, enjoy it for the less traumatic workout compared to other weight bearing workouts, and if you get some extra benefits - great!
