How Long Should You Rebound? (I Got This Wrong For Months)

If you think you need to jump on a mini trampoline for 40 to 60 minutes to see fitness results, you are likely sabotaging your recovery. When it comes to rebounding over 50, more is not always better. In this video, I reveal why scaling back my workout duration actually unlocked better energy, joint relief, and weight loss results.

Many beginners fall into the trap of treating a fitness trampoline like a traditional treadmill, pushing for long, grueling cardio sessions. But overtraining can trigger inflammation and leave you feeling burned out. I break down the exact sweet spot for daily health bouncing that stimulates your lymphatic system and builds leg strength without overtaxing your body.

This is a straightforward, science-backed guide designed for older adults who want to optimize their home fitness routines. Watch next to learn how to structure your weekly sessions so you can stop wasting time and start moving pain-free!

I am 80 started at 30 seconds ( that was all i could do) now i am up to 2 minutes. I know that sounds stupid, but for me its been a major improvement, i want to work up to 5 minutes twice a day. I have never been athletic! At first it made me feel dizzy, burning legs,
Muscles like noodles….symptoms reducing! I know i am stronger! Try to do in morning.

I do 10 minutes after each meal. Started in mid February. Hips and ankles feel so much better. Scale has moved 5 lbs and legs feel stronger. Win win!

I'm 65 years old with a bum left hip, it dislocates easily, and a bum left knee because of arthritis and 2 torn miniscus from a fall 15 years ago. When I started, I got up and down from my Jump Sport trampoline with a cane because I was afraid of the step up and down. Within 2 weeks of doing 15 minutes sessions of bouncing and just lifting my heels "walking" and I can get on and off without the cane. Within 4 weeks, my hip wasn't popping or dislocating, my knee stopped throbbing. My balance is better. No more limp, no more trouble stepping up on curbs. It's been a miracle rehab for me. It's SO easy to watch a show on YT, and get my work out down, that I am actually looking forward to it, that has never happened with me and working out before. I always had some excuse (too hot, too cold, it's raining, snowing, I don't have enough energy today, etc.) but I can do this bouncing in my pajamas, while watching a show I was going to watch anyways from my recliner. I'm not sweaty afterwards, I'm not exhausted, but it's still working! I'm losing about 2.5 lbs a week. ❤

At 85, male, rebounder, 5 sets of 5 min. over the course of waking hours. Feels great. Everyone is different.

10 minutes in morning and 10 minutes in evening with my headphones on and dancing to 80's music! I start with the health bounce then; I do low impact dancing. I do have a safety bar on my rebounder. It makes me feel like a teenager again!

@Paxlee63 7 months ago

Thank you. I was worried my 5 minutes didn't matter.

I’m 45 and a DANCER and I think rebounding for 40 minutes straight is bonkers. During dance rehearsal or class we take constant little breather breaks in between movements . Like not lunch break but you are not jumping constantly Thats too much . I have cortisol issues and I think 10-15 minutes of health bouncing is enough

@KarenSmith-ys3sk 7 months ago

I do 5-10 minutes a day,then I lift weights. I have so much energy that I go and work outside. Love my rebounder. Later, I get on my treadmill for another 15 minutes,walking in an incline. I'm 67 and have gotten stronger.

@charlottesiems 6 months ago

Girl. I started with ONE minute, lol. I've worked up to 3 minutes daily plus 10 minutes of walking EOD. Age 66, long slow recovery from extensive sinus surgery and 2yrs of infection before and after. Finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel and glad I found your channel❤️

@kjbrocky 7 months ago

10 to 15 minutes of gentle bouncing is more beneficial than 10,000 steps. True fact.

@abcdefg876 6 months ago

I have been doing short 5-10 minute sessions of the health bounce with moving arms throughout the day for about 3 weeks. I cannot believe how much stronger I am. Instead of being drained after shovelling our snow, I was able to shovel my neighbor’s snow too. No back pain or sore arms! It’s amazing!

I'm 61 and do 2 sessions of 10 minutes each into the morning and afternoon. That in addition to walking and other exercises for strength, balance, and impact. I love it! I feel like a little girl jumping on the trampoline. 😊

One of the biggest lessons i've learnt in getting in shape yep. Imperfect consitency beats Inconisitent perfection.

@magenta4443 4 months ago

Started today with 3 minutes. I am 69, overweight, diabetic with 2 bad knees. I subscribed after you addressed cortisol, lymphatic movement and inflamation. Tracking on my phone calendar to be consistent. I feel energized even after those few minutes.

@RaineyShiney 6 months ago

I do 20 minutes in the mornings with an episode of one of my favourite funny sitcoms... Exercise and humour is a good way to start the day! 😁

@KarenGreenhagel 7 months ago

I agree with so many others, rebounding is like dancing! I'm 77 and look forward to my sessions. Everything has improved!

@truckart 6 months ago

i started when i was 50 and i WOULD NOT recommend 5-10 mins a day if you've been leading a sedentary lifestyle. even 2 mins health bounce in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening for a month is more than enough to build strength and endurance. and one thing i learned: ALWAY pre--stretch for 5-10 mins before getting on the rebounder. my calves used to burn even with a 60+ second health bounce. after i started pre-stretching, that improved.

I'm a 65 year old female .....I rebound 10 minutes max and box 2 times a week...works for me!

I’m only 35 but I have exercise intolerance and after watching your videos and Earth and Owl, decided to get a JumpSport. I’m losing inches and I’m feeling fitter! I can climb the stairs in my house with a spring in my step and my resting heart rate is decreasing. Another goal was to improve my ADHD symptoms, and I’m happy to report that I’m better able to focus, and I also don’t get locked into my hyper-focus state!

I do 5-10 minutes in the morning and 5-10 in the evening. I’m looking forward to trying some more choreography when my fitness level improves.
