Mini trampolines for weight loss and exercise goals

I just wanted to share how helpful using a mini trampoline has been for me in the past year.

Like many others, the pandemic took a toll on my fitness and weight loss efforts. Where I live, gyms were closed and masks were required while walking outdoors, even when no one else was around, so I pretty much stopped exercising. It was upsetting, and my diet also got worse from not exercising (out of boredom and feeling less motivated, I guess).

I finally had enough and bought a mini trampoline from Walmart for about $35, and it's been a great purchase! I use it to jog in place as a replacement for a treadmill or elliptical. There are other ways to use it for resistance training as well, but I'm a cardio queen so I can't give my personal experience with that.

Although I bought it for use during quarantine, I still love using it for a daily workout. It's really great for moments when I don't feel like leaving the house, and also when my motivation is low and don't feel like going to the gym. When I lack motivation, I can convince myself to do a 10-minute jog on the trampoline, and I often continue longer or keep doing mini-workouts throughout the day. This is also really great if I don't have time for a full workout. I live in an apartment, and it takes up barely any space. I've also asked my downstairs neighbor if she can hear any sort of pounding when I use the trampoline, and she said that she's never had.

TL;DR: Mini trampolines can be an affordable, portable, convenient tool to add to an exercise routine.
