Set up my trampoline

[WereBear]

My brother put my rebounder together for me, and I bounced for ten minutes. It was highly enjoyable! In fact I was surprised how it made me feel better at the end of a day where I was feeling not too good.

It is 40 inches across and supported with bungies, so it is also quiet and stable.

It is all part of sensory support, and while one of these days I would love to have a swing, I am very happy with this. It is stable, I bounce and “walk” without letting my feet leave the surface, and so my husband’s worries about me bouncing off it into the wall or something should be alleviated.

Considering what a cold and messy winter we have been having, it should be an excellent way for me to have some exercise, too.

This one is rated for 250.

A happy thing to have. And very good that it is quiet. I have one of my bikes on a stand so that in winter I can exercise indoors. I like it very much. But it is very loud, necessitating earphones to be worn.

I am in an apartment, so that was a factor.

I have a stationary bike (its old and loud), a treadmill (its old and loud and its a torture device at times) and a free weight bench that aches to make me scream for help to get the weights off of me.

ALL are looking at me with eyes of disgust, and judgement right now...
Can we talk about something else... (clearing throat)

A trampoline sounds cool... I would have to watch out for the ceiling fan...
Chance gets malled by fan... Cool new story... : )

Could be worse.

Bounce happens. Oops.

 

[Chance]

Could be worse.

I didn't see it at first... now I have to settle myself down. Thats funny!!! Of course as long as no one was injured in the process... : )

Jealous! Trampolines are fun, and I find them soothing too. I saw a mini trampoline for $30 at Walmart, almost bought it, but I don't know if I trust a $30 trampoline.

 

[Warmheart]

Awesome!! This is great sensory! I bet this really helps you feel better!

 

[OkRad]

I got one. They are very cool!

I remembered I'd seen a thread of yours about a trampoline and the picture judge posted.

Yes. It took me this long to get it put together!

 

[WereBear]

Yes. It took me this long to get it put together!

By which I mean, it has all these cords that have to be strung around it, and one of my issues is low hand strength (excess of cortisol) so it was great to have my handy brother do it. My husband, likewise, has not been up to putting it together.

Not difficult for someone who is in decent shape. Which I am not.

So was I!

Bounced again last night, and soon certain muscles started complaining, so I stopped. But it illustrates that this really is exercise, even though it looks so easy. Getting more and more fond of it all the time.
