Trinkets & Dreams

Rebounding on the mini trampoline.

Now that I am focusing on losing weight and exercising, I am “checking out” those trouble spots for improvement. One area that really bothers me is cellulite! (I’ll spare everyone a photo on this one :) ) About 6 months ago, I read that using a mini trampoline would decongest the lymphatic system thus helping to decrease cellulite. Of course, rebounding is also supposed to give you a low impact total body workout - aerobically, strengthening bones and muscles, increasing balance, stability and metabolism, among many other claims. I was sold!

So, I did buy a mini trampoline. I chose to start with a cheapie one from Walmart for about $20. I wanted to make sure I would use it before I invested in something expensive. Now, up until this week, I have used it very sporadically. But, having made the commitment to lose weight and exercise, I have been using it as a part of my regular excercise routine.

I wonder, will only 4 to 5 minutes a day actually help when combined with diet and exercise? Any thoughts from anyone out there?

Update on my results using HCG diet and the Simeon’s Protocol ….

11 pounds gone! My headache subsided and my hunger decreased on day #3 of the VLCD and day #5 of the hcg. So far, I am very happy with my results! I will retake my measurements and update them on Monday for those who are interested in loss of inches.

  1. Hiya,
    I absolutely love my mini trampoline – but it’s in the garage at the moment and I can’t really use it!
    It did wonders for my fitness when i used it regularly.
    Also – 5 mins is better nothing!

  3. I may just have to try to increase that 5 minutes or substitute a full trampoline workout for one of my other exercise days! Thanks cybes!
