Rebounding for Better Health: My Experience, Product Review & Comparisons

Рет қаралды 17,661

Күн бұрын

My thoughts & experiences of my first two weeks rebounding on a mini-trampoline. Plus a thorough review of my Acon rebounder, comparing it to another popular product, Leaps and Rebounds. I also compare the Acon's bounce to the Bellicon's bounce! This video should cover a lot of things you should think about before buying a rebounder, in addition to sharing my personal experiences. In addition, rebounding is for people of all ages and fitness levels. I talk more about that near the end of the video. If you have any questions, please let me know!
I also posted a video on research on rebounding, for people of all ages and all fitness levels! I shared research study results for rebounding, including the infamous NASA study from 1980 where they compare rebounding to running on a treadmill. Study links are down below.
Check out my rebounding research video here: • Benefits of Rebounding...
MY REBOUNDER⤵
The product I got is the 44 inch rebounder by the brand Acon. Also if you purchase from them, they have a newsletter signup form and you can get $50 off. They shipped it to me so fast and I got it within 3-4 days! us.acon24.com/products/acon-f....
ANOTHER REBOUNDER THAT'S 1/2 THE PRICE⤵
Since creating this video, I have discovered another rebounder that might be a good option for people and it's half the price of the one I bought. It's by the brand BCan amzn.to/3I0iKuL and I am not sure how I missed this when I was doing research. I can't fully vouch for it as I haven't used it, but I still wanted to share some specs and details.
This one stands out because it's foldable, it uses bungees, it weights 22 lbs, (the Acon is 30 lbs, the Leeps & Rebounds is 14 lbs), and it has a really large supportive bar included in the cost (the 48 U-Trampoline) if you buy that one.
It has a weight limit that is really high at 550 lbs. The only thing I'm wondering about is how soft and comfortable the bounce is. It sounds like a great price, as it's about $150+/-.
Some of the Amazon reviews said it was difficult to put together. I totally forgot to mention in this video that mine was not very difficult to attach the bungees. It took a bit of effort but I wouldn't consider it difficult.
Please check out my website: www.lifeanddiy.com for even more content. I just revamped my site and I will be posting more details about my rebounding experience there. - Holly

I heard it has a pretty firm bounce. That plus the high weight limit might make it ideal for bigger people. However, I have seen good reviews from all kinds of people.

I bought the white Acon hexagonal a couple weeks ago and really like it. I am 70 and was lifting and riding bike for my exercise and still love both. However, the rebounding does so much more : the breathing, the heart rate, the core, the back, and I'm assuming, the lymph. I believe my cardio health is going to improve tremendously from this.

@LifeDIY 2 ай бұрын

I am so happy to hear this! Thank you for sharing some of your experience with the rebounder and comparing it to riding a bike and lifting. I totally agree with you on how it impacts the breathing, heart rate, cardio and core (plus lymphatic system). The white hexagonal Acon you got looks amazing and if I had more space, I probably would have gotten that one too!

Morning, I just purchased the Acon on Friday. I am going to be 66 at the end of March. I also did a lot of research and from what I found this is probably one of the best one if the price point works for you. I wanted a good solid one for both myself and my husband. Many people start with Bcan from what I researched and it’s a good starting one but then move up to another brand. I saw on one review the Bcan can wobble since the legs are not as strong. My husband said don’t get a wobble one. 😂 I did get the bar and I will be using it to start out with. I am really out of shape and need to get in better health. The health reviews for everyone including seniors are amazing. Must start out slow from what I see for me. Thanks for your solid review as I am even more confident in my purchase. The price is supposed to change after Feb, get it soon.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It sounds like we both came to the conclusion that this is the best quality for the price. It is a very solid mini trampoline. I didn't see a lot of reviews of the Acon when I was researching, but I am glad I found it. I think you're likely right about the Bcan being a good affordable starter option. I think this will really help you get in better shape. Definitely look for some workout videos on youtube. There are a few good options. I just find it helpful to keep me motivated and to workout longer on the rebounder. I'm happy to hear you're in your 60s and doing this and it's awesome to hear your husband will use it too. Amazing! My dad is in his 70s and I've mentioned this to him recently but he's not interested (yet), though I am tempted to buy him one! I am excited for yours to arrive soon!

Holly, this is your old J instructor from Maryland. Thanks for sharing this content. I watch a lot of your skin care videos, but this topic speaks to me. I don’t take very good care of my skin, but I am always looking for low impact ways to burn calories and improve core strength. I’d never considered a rebounder until I saw this video. Thank you for helping me think outside the box for fitness solutions. Very respectfully, Max

Max! I am so shocked and happy to see your comment here. I had no idea you saw any of my content. I hope I'm doing an ok job on here because you trained me in speaking in front of a camera. :) I am so glad you are interested in rebounding. It is such a nice easy workout but it still gets the heart rate up and it really works your body, though it does feel easy and very low impact. It's great if you have some injuries and don't want to run on the pavement or a treadmill. I get sore from using it (mostly my legs) but it's great that I'm working more muscle groups and I'm not getting any injuries. Thank you for stopping by and leaving this comment. It put a huge smile on my face! I hope you're doing well.

I’ve followed your channel for years, but you finally found a product family I was interested in. BCan owes one sale to you. Your followers are lucky to have such a diligent and dedicated researcher on their side. Cheers. @@LifeDIY

Max, how's it going with your Bcan rebounder? I'd love to hear any feedback you have. I actually didn't see your comment until today, so I'm extra curious about how it's going. Thank you for this feedback on my channel and content. That means a lot. I have been working a full time job over the past four years and this is going to be my last week there. I put so much of my brain power, energy and effort into my work there, that I feel like I had very little left to put into my content here. So, I'm finally going to be able to fully focus and hopefully improve the content on my channel. You probably didn't need all those details, but I am so excited about my new beginning which will start this Friday evening! Regarding Bcan, I should get one of their products to try out. I'd feel better about recommending it if I used one. I'm so happy to see your comment here. Thanks, Max!

Your videos have over the last couple of years every now and then appeared on my youtube feed. I just wanted to say having struggled with my own health issues these last few years, its really cool to see how you've manage to push through and hustle while dealing with your own health challenges, turning your personal research into a career. Personally, I'v never been money driven myself until these last couple of years, but really its just to have financial security, something that is desperately needed for somebody who isn't sure whether or not they'll have to go on disability, and secondly, the freedom to throw money at different treatments. ...anyways, I'm ranting now. I haven't seen you talk about MCAS (perhaps you have), that may be something worth looking into. Keep it up. You're a rock star!!

Holly, you've opened my eyes to see how I could be using my rebounder better. For years, I've only used it to jump normally. I'm going to have to try pulling my knees up to my chest and all that more advanced stuff. Still though, using it in a basic way made a big difference. When I would go on my steep hike, it was almost effortless when I was rebounding regularly, but when I wasn't rebounding, it was really tough. You're motivating me to do this everyday again, timing myself so I go a little longer each day. Also since you mentioned VR, I might dust mine off and play beat saber again, which is also great exercise at higher speeds. Thank you for this video.

@peterdelmonte9832 28 күн бұрын

I was 75 four days ago. I’ve had a rebounder for a few months. I’ve used minimum or zero heel raise shoes for a few years. Watching you bouncing in those trainers induced a silent scream! One of the greatest benefits of bouncing is the gentle sinking of your heel into the soft surface. From another comment here I see that arthritis might make that difficult for some. So I’ll just say that if you can bounce just in your socks, you’ll gain more. Barefoot is the way to go. I did the whole process. When I started running at night (so no-one would see me…”jogging” hadn’t been invented!…) I wore plimsoles as that’s all there was. The Brit Jim Peters was the first marathoner under 2:20 and for the few marathons there were back then, he’d buy a new pair of plimsoles for each. These have very little cushioning. Then Nike Waffle Trainers arrived, then thicker Reeboks and Brooks and for me, finally Asics. Lots of fat midsole. Then Chris McDougall arrived and I was convinced. No more cushioned midsoles. The advantages and gains are undeniable. I know the elite now wear the rebound shoes to set records. But they don’t train in them. They’re mini blades for specific short term use. Bloomin’ clever! Anyway, thank you for rekindling my enthusiasm for bouncing: I’m a sucker for stats and evidence.

Hello again. Gee, sorry I have a question that doesn’t relate to this video but I’m hoping you see it and can help me. Btw, I’m EXTREMELY impressed with your dedication to answering questions and I don’t trust many (if any) beauty people from KZfaq but you’re so down to earth, I trust everything you say. Thanks for being so genuine So I just ordered the TCA 13 mask from platinum skin care. I don’t even need to shuffle through 40 videos to see what everyone else likes, if you say it’s good I trust that 👍 But anyways I ordered yesterday along with the essential oil syrum for aftercare. But what do I use while I’m doing the procedure? You mentioned in one of your videos you were using baking soda and water to calm the sting down. There’s another use for this step but I can’t remember atm. Do I need to order something,or can I use baking soda and water as well? If I can could you please provide the measurements of both? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for everything. Honestly. I’m 53 and just started looking g after my skin about 7 months ago. Completely ignoring it for the last 19 yrs, for various reasons. My skin is awful but I’m doing quite a few things now that hopefully help it in the long run. I’m using a skin care line called Go Pure and darn it, I love it! If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask! Ok, thanks a lot again. Enjoy your day ❤️

A coworker gave me a rebounder back in the 90's. It was sturdy but rigid. I would jump on it for 15-20 minutes a day. And I lost 20-25 lbs in about 6 weeks. I was 230 lbs. I moved out of state it couod fit into my car so I gave it away. I've recently lost 170 lbs but was diagnosed with early onset congestive heart failure, weakness in my left ventricle, an enlarged heart and venous insufficiency. I do kettlebell swings and have a Bowflex. But I'd been looking into do self massage for lymphatic drainage. And a rebounder video was in my recommendations. Since then I've been looking into the benefits of rebounding and the different rebounders that are on the market. My thinking is that if venous insufficiency if the body not being able to pump the blood from my legs back up to my heart then wouldn't rebounding be beneficial in that way? I'm aware that you're not a Dr. I have an appointment with my cardiologist on Tuesday. I thought I'd do the research on this before the appointment. I've already had to describe what a kettlebell is. Apparently everyone doesn't know what one is. Lol. But thank you for doing a great job on both videos that I've watched so far on rebounding. Even back in the 90's I had no idea why I lost so much weight, that rebounding helped the lymphatic system or most of the other things that I've recently discovered. So again thank you.

Thank you so much for this nice comment and I am so sorry for my late reply! That's incredible you lost so much weight in 6 weeks. I'm sorry to hear about the congestive heart failure. My brother has that as well, though I think it is considered very mild. He was checked recently and it seems like his heart function is in the normal range. He attributes that to eating the carnivore diet. I also think low carb in general is just healthy, but that's off the topic, sorry!. :) I really like the way you think regarding rebounding and venous insufficiency. It makes complete sense and it's also just overall very good for cardiovascular health. Have you heard of vibration plates? I think I've heard people recommend the Life Pro brand. I wonder if this might help as well.

Thanks so much for your review of the Acon rebounder❣ Currently using my Cellerciser (uses springs vs cords) that I purchased more than 2 decades ago and barely ever used until recently. I am a senior and find it difficult to jump more than 2 mins. at a time but I would probably have more stamina with the bungee system. I found out the hard way several weeks ago when I jumped rapidly and probably about 10 mins. while listening to ZZ Top "Sharp Dressed Man" 🎶LOL. I hung on tightly to the attached bar while jumping/dancing about and felt great, but next day + 2-3 weeks my left arm, shoulder, and neck were super painful. Won't do that again. But I wish I could.☺

Bravo, Holly! I brought up before (maybe the "deleted comment") about rebounders. My question is did you have the least trouble in assembling it? Do you know if it even needed assembling? 25 years ago I bought an el cheapo Walmart brand that was next to impossible to assemble without the right tools (sort of like trying to disassemble your brakes and brake pads and reassembling them without the right tools) : ) Anyway, I've always heard a rebounder did wonders for High Blood Pressure for reasons I am not sure of, except that it does wonders for the Lymphatic System which in turn greatly helps with your White Blood Cells (and thus your immune system) !!!! I've heard rave health results from rebounding and will definitely give it a try again. Thanks!

@LifeDIY 3 ай бұрын

Hey Paul! I'm so happy to see your comment here. I thought I did such a thorough video, but I totally forgot to talk about assembly!!! I should have taken some video footage of how it's packaged and setup. It was not assembled, but it was not too hard to setup as the instructions were super clear. I did have to attach the bungees and it was a little bit of an arm workout, but not horribly difficult, but that depends on the person. I asked my son to help and he was busy and couldn't, so I did it myself and it was ok but a little tough. Here's a video on how to assemble the one I bought: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNl0Z6ZmtLy4Y58.html. I know that some rebounders do require tools to assemble but this one didn't. Yeah it's great to hear that rebounding can help with blood pressure, which is such a big issue for people nowadays. I am so glad you're going to give it a try! Since I did this video, I noticed one other brand that might be a good option and it's called BCan. It's cheaper than this one and I am kind of curious about it. The weight of their product is just about 5 lbs less than this one I bought and it has a human weight limit that is much higher (450+) so it makes me think it would be a sturdy, decent product. I'm not sure how soft the bounce will be though. I'll create a pinned comment to mention that! I hope you have a beautiful week, Paul!

@@LifeDIY well go for it, it's such a morale booster i swear you can eat it while watching something at your desk, idk. speaking of food, it's evening here, so i will make a nice evening pastrami sandwich and eat it in bed. yes yes, bread crumbs. i know i know. but i am doing laundry tomorrow so this bed sheet goes into the washing machine tomorrow. so it's alright.

Sounds delicious. Thanks to you I just ordered two whole chickens yesterday (plus a bunch of other meat) from Thrive Market. I am going to make a big batch of soup!

Looks like you're having a lot of fun Holly! You’re glowing, and look and sound super energised. I don’t think 5,500 steps is “pathetic” at all...I do about 12,000 steps in a round of golf, which is about a 6 mile walk. Probably too early for you to say, but I was wondering if this has improved your sleep at all.?

Thanks, Joe! I almost feel bad for saying that about the steps because there are people with mobility issues who can do a lot less than what I am striving for, so I don't want them to feel even worse. But, thank you for saying that! I'm overthinking things. :) 12,000 steps is a lot! And, do you golf often? For the rebounder, I haven't noticed a huge change in my sleep but I am tracking things extensively. I will figure the sleep stuff out soon.

Sadly I don’t get much golf in this time of the year…it’s just too muddy to play…but better weather is only round the corner, and then I’ll get out there about 2/3 times a week.😊 I always feel great afterwards. I’m sure you’re going to keep motivated with your rebounder. It looks like it’s doing you the world of good.
