I purchased rebounder today and started watching related videos and found yours.. This is the only video which really taught me as a beginner and therefore I subscribed… thank you so much …
Glad I could help! I have an entire "getting started" playlist with other helpful videos. Have fun with your new rebounder! Reach out any time with questions or if I can point you in the direction of some helpful beginner workouts.
Echo lots of other people here, thanks so much for being so precise and informative about corretct technique. I too have caused myself pain and minor injury from doing it incorrectly, and your demonstrations really helped. Especially the side views, so many people only give front on views which aren't that helpful with regard to knee bend and hip hinge. Mega helpful. 😄
Among all the trampoline exercises for beginners & seniors, you have given very clear instructions and that's why I've subscribed to your channel. Plenty to learn for me as I'm very new and recovering from my knee injury 🙃 🙂 peace from Malaysia 🇲🇾 looking forward to following your exercises every morning. Have a great day or evening 💐
Thanks so much for this! I started rebounding just a few weeks ago (on a spring-loaded rebounder), and I was jumping high, twisting, and didn't have correct form. As a result, I hurt the back of my right leg behind the knee, on my lower hamstring, and on my upper calf. I am still recovering from that. Since then, I've ordered a bungee rebounder (JumpSport), knee compression socks, and am doing my best to learn correct form before I go back to rebounding. Thanks again for your tips and instructions on proper form!
Unfortunately, what you experienced happens to a lot of people. Many beginners don't realize there is a proper form and end up with injuries. I'm working to change that!! Glad you found this video!
Excellent instructions for a beginner/senior. I made an investment and want to get the most out of it. Love the three minute videos. They are fun and well orchestrated. Thanks!
Brilliant channel. So glad i find you like Steve said prrviously. So many workouts ‘out there’ are so hard for new rebounders like me but yours are perfect 👍👏
Welcome to my channel, and thanks so much! My channel is really organized if you use the playlist feature. Everything is grouped into categories. Let me know if you have any trouble navigating or need assistance finding a workout.
This is very helpful. When I first got my rebounder, my form wasn't right. I have a weak knee and I ended up hurting myself. Now I know what to do differently! Thanks so much.
What happened to you unfortunately happens to a lot of people. I'm so glad you came across this video and now have the proper form information! Happy bouncing!!
This was so informative! my back has been hurting after rebounding. This might sound silly but I assumed my core was naturally engaging enough as I was jumping. I'm gonna actively engage my core and the apply your other tips. Thank you!!!!!
Thankyou! Newbie here and 68, I have poor muscle strength in my hip/small back…and broken ankle 5 months ago. No where does anyone instruct of do’s and dont’s. Just recently got a bellicon. The last thing I need is an injury! I really need safe muscle toning, core strength, etc. whatever I can do for improvement!
Thanks so much for this and your other Health Bounce videos. I have had a rebounder for many years and did the full jump routines etc; but have not used it for probably 8 years due to neck and low back problems. I do alot of low impact exercises and miss my rebounder. Think its time to try the Health Bounce !
Thank you so much for the informative videos. They are the best I have found on rebounding. Unfortunately my low back is killing me while I’m rebounding. All I can do is the health bounce. I’m not in bad shape and I thought my core was on the stronger side after years of yoga and Pilates. I hope I can do this bc I’ve got an expensive rebounder in the mail! Do you think the more pricy rebounder will be more comfortable?
Hi there! A few things could be causing this including too much too soon. How long are your sessions? Are you doing any warm up or cool down stretching? Lastly, what kind of rebounder are you using?
Greetings! I post my monthly schedule in the community tab, my social media, and on my website. www.earthandowl.com This month live classes are on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday at 3:00pm London time. www.earthandowl.com
Thank you so much for this :)! WOndering what it looks like from he side when you put all this postural stuff together - I was wishing I could see what it looks like from the side when you are bouncing pushing your feet down, and with the right knee and hip alignment.
@@EarthOwl thanks. I have very poor posture, lower back herniation, rounded shoulders and fwd head so was thinking i needed to be upright and such. Also had a knee replacement so glad to know about knees.
I'm waiting for my trampoline to be delivered, can't wait to follow along with your Beginner workouts. One question, shoes or no shoes? I noticed you don't wear shoes but Grandma Helen does. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks Nikki
Good day, I just bought a mini trampoline it is not rebounding. Will I still be able to do the same excises? I love your video's. I had back surgery a few years back and I am not fit at all. I love the energy in your video's. It is getting me exited to try again!
Greetings! Mini trampolines and rebounders are the same thing. Be sure to start slow and really work on proper form. If you have back issues, you'll want to verify with your doctor that this is an ok exercise for you to do. You might try my beginner 10 day challenge series to get acclimated.
Thank you for this. I just bought a mini with a balance handle. The rebounder made with springs, but seems to have a good amount of give. I had knee surgery two years ago and have three pins in my knee. As long as I don't go crazy with high jumping, should this still be safe for me? (I know this would be your opinion not "medical advice"!)
I do have many participants with knee problems including several with full knee and hip replacements. Of course they've spoken with their physicians. Definitely take it slow. Modify where needed. I have lots of workouts where your feet don't even leave the mat!
That's a really good question. I would say no. For the most part, I'm thinking more about my posture while stretching. There are a few stretches where I might engage my core a little, such as a standing side bend. Hope that helps!
Hi there! Is it possible your lower backache is from improper form? If you continue with improper form, yes it would probably get worse. If you adjust your form and take it slow, I should think the backache would lessen. You may need to take a few rest days in between to gauge your results and determine if improving your form takes care of the backache. Good luck!
Depends on your goals. If your'e doing it for lymphatic health, 2-3 minutes several times a day is sufficient. Many people aim for 20 minutes and some bounce up to an hour. It's really up to you.
For me, slightly bending forward in the “athletic pose” hurts my lower back. I have degenerative dish disease with the lower two disks being bone on bone. Suggestions?
Just want to verify first that you have doctor permission to rebound. One of the reasons a "hinge" at the waist is helpful is that bouncing too upright can compress the low back. If your physician does recommend rebounding, I'd keep the movements quite gentle with one or both feet staying in contact with the trampoline mat. Hope this helps!
For some, rebounding can actually help light bladder leak problems. My tips are to avoid liquid about 60-90 minutes before your workout, use the restroom right before, and engage the muscles of your pelvic floor the whole time you jump. If you're not sure how to do that, there are lots of videos out there that explain it. It's a bit like a kegel exercise. Lastly, I recommend the speax by thinx underwear.
@@EarthOwl Thank you. I will look up the exercises. One woman said she was told by her doctor not to use the rebounder since her “pelvic parts were falling”. So when you mentioned the bladder leaks I didn’t want to create a further problem. It seems to me the pelvic parts need gentle developing not avoiding or one would be told not even to go walking!
@@joyceschetter5871 There are contraindications for pelvic prolapse. I would definitely consult physician if that is the case, but if it’s mild bladder leakage most people are fine to rebound.
Oh darn! Thank you for letting me know. I've been having trouble with that link. If you go to www.earthandowl.com and click "buy a trampoline" from the menu, that also works. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and I'll work on getting it resolved!

GREAT tutorial for beginners!! A "must" to prevent bad habits in the first place.

Hi, thanks for your explanation.

You may need to take a few rest days in between to gauge your results and determine if improving your form takes care of the backache. Good luck!
Good day
I have arthritis in my neck, do you know if I can still do rebounding exercises(I'm a beginner)? Thanks 😊!
I always recommend consulting your physician if you have any health condition.
Is there a suggested length of time to rebound a day?
Depends on your goals. If your'e doing it for lymphatic health, 2-3 minutes several times a day is sufficient. Many people aim for 20 minutes and some bounce up to an hour. It's really up to you.
Is behind the knee pain most likely to come from not having your knees bent properly or one of the other don’t s
I couldn't say for sure. My guess would be from not equalizing the weight distribution in your feet combined with not bending knees.
Support handle ? 1 better or two handle?
Unless you're really worried about your stability and balance, I think one is fine.
For me, slightly bending forward in the “athletic pose” hurts my lower back. I have degenerative dish disease with the lower two disks being bone on bone. Suggestions?
Just want to verify first that you have doctor permission to rebound. One of the reasons a "hinge" at the waist is helpful is that bouncing too upright can compress the low back. If your physician does recommend rebounding, I'd keep the movements quite gentle with one or both feet staying in contact with the trampoline mat. Hope this helps!
Incontinence? How to know rebounding will cause Pelvic for problem?
For some, rebounding can actually help light bladder leak problems. My tips are to avoid liquid about 60-90 minutes before your workout, use the restroom right before, and engage the muscles of your pelvic floor the whole time you jump. If you're not sure how to do that, there are lots of videos out there that explain it. It's a bit like a kegel exercise. Lastly, I recommend the speax by thinx underwear.

@@joyceschetter5871 There are contraindications for pelvic prolapse. I would definitely consult physician if that is the case, but if it’s mild bladder leakage most people are fine to rebound.
Also, when "dismounting" the trampoline, BE MINDFUL! You can trip easily. Well, I have. So, just be careful.
Great tip! Thank you!
Shoes? Bare feet? Socks? What are your recommendations. TIA
Try it all and see what you like. If you do socks, I'd recommend the grippy ones.
Vocabulary help needed please. Engage? Track? Neutral?
engage: bracing and tightening all of the muscles / track: keep aligned / neutral: not favoring one side or the other
@@EarthOwl Thank you very much!!
What about foot wear?
It's personal preference. Try barefoot and shoes and see what you like better. If you have knee issues, sometimes shoes work a little better.
@@EarthOwl are running shoes ok? Or does it have to be a particular shoe
