I am 84. Have many debilitating illnesses including POTS and Dysautonomia. I just got my rebounder with safety bar. Did two “”easy for you”sets of 5 minutes each. Slow but I did it. I am proud of what I could do.
Back in the day, this was a trampoline. My ankles always swelled and turned purple. It didn't hurt. I was very young, in my 20's. I wonder if that was normal.
I appreciate everyone for putting themselves out there and working toward their goals. I decided to try rebounding almost a year ago. I'm 48 years old. I have some joint issues, I was in pain everyday, and I wasn't very active because of it. I heard rebounding was gentle on the joints and decided to try it. It was a real challenge at first, I was only able to do a minute or two at a time. I stuck with it, worked on building up my stamina, and now I can comfortably participate in most of the live classes Nikki does. I'm far more active now, and my pain is significantly reduced. I feel so much better overall. I haven't seen a huge difference on the scale, but I have seen changes with my body composition and I've had to buy smaller clothes. Just take it one day at a time and have fun bouncing!
Thank you so much!! These ladies stepping out of their comfort zones is definitely a gift to those who might think this is not accessible to them. I'm incredibly grateful!
Congratulations for sticking to it. Continue and, at the same time, perhaps cut your eating portions a bit or monitor your calorie intake and type of calorie consumption, and you will be on the way to some spectacular results!! :)
@Rroll100 thanks for the encouragement! I've been monitoring my calorie intake and even talked to my doctor. He advised me to keep doing what I'm doing because overall I'm in better health (lower A1C, etc). I'm trying not to focus on the scale so much and celebrate the other victories. I will keep at it because I really enjoy being more active with less pain.
@@theresawood2183 Imam 78, Fran is 76. The last 2 1/2 years has changed lives, health weight, lifestyle. So much so that we bounce or exercise EVERY day NONE fail. Missing a day is NOT an option. Never give give up!! :)
@Rroll100 I had to take a break for several weeks due to getting covid. As soon as I started to feel better, I began walking again and increased my step count every week until I felt comfortable enough to increase my activity with rebounding and other workouts. I've been doing Nikki's lives on Fridays (now Thursdays) and Sundays. I'm not sure I'm quite ready for the more intense classes, but with the new format and stopping points, I'm going to try the other classes out this week and see how it goes. Thank you agsin for your inspiration and support, I'm sure I'll see you in a live class soon! 😁
I’ve had my rebounder over a year but haven’t really used it. I decided to start at the very beginning. And I want to thank you so much for putting these classes on CZcams for us.
This is the first time I have commented on any video on CZcams. Some of the other beginner series were still difficult for me. Having these other ladies in this video is inspiring. I am looking forward to working out with this group. Thank you for this particular series.
I've been rebounding for a couple months but only 1/2 a week. I've always felt unsteady. This was perfect! Baby steps is just what I needed. Thank you so much
I love this. This is REAL. I hope the ladies stick with and are not expecting instant results. If they keep at consistently, one day they will realize and recognize the progress, Out of nowhere, just like that!! :)
Your group is having so much fun and loving these new challenges!! Good on you you Nikki. Love the barn without distractions of an intimidating studio environment. This is the real deal!! :)
I agree!! Why are studios sooo INDUSTRIAL when we're worķing on our soft flesh?? A hard environment may make the muscles harder for some super disciplined & dedicated people but it's not inspiring & sustainable for most people.
Hey hey! First one here! Kudos to those ladies bcuz I’m one of them! 60 years young and getting better everyday! I just got my rebounder less than a week ago and already have taken the grab bar down!
Well done to all the participants for showing up & glowing up! 😁 I used this as a nice warmup before I went to try to tackle some of the 10-min workouts - the stretches especially were very welcome bc my yoga has fallen off as I've spent more time rebounding (my cat doesn't interfere with the trampoline like if I'm on the floor with a mat LOL). Now I can add those instead of just jumping straight into the workout. Thanks to everyone for sharing this! ♥
❤ I just got my rebounder and I am so excited. I have a couple of bulging discs and a bad knee and I haven't been very active for a long time and this did not hurt my back at all. Thank you for explaining everything so well
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are a fantastic teacher! The way you explain everything and thoroughly demonstrate the moves is like no one else on CZcams. I particularly think the side view of the music moves is very helpful especially for seeing how to keep my core engaged. I’m new at this and 65. Just started about a week ago. I’m already seeing improvements. I appreciate your videos so much.
I’m 79 years old and have several autoimmune disorders. I got my rebounder about a year ago b/c of the bone building and lymphatic drainage possibilities. Also, that you don’t have to spend hours on it to gain results. I have tried several different teachers but always come back to Earth & Owl.
I just received a rebounder for Christmas. So excited to get started once it is together. Thank you for this video, because I was feeling apprehensive about it.
Nikki, I'm currently recovering from a minor foot surgery. This was great! I have kept active through it all but this is my first time back on the rebounder. Thanks for a great workout!
Been kind of lazy on exercising. Decided to try this to see what it was all about. Great one to get me going again and nothing else got my lymphatic system going again. The participants did a great job and I always learn something new or at least get reminders on working on core.
Thank you Ladies - this was very enjoyable. I just ordered a rebounder and waiting for it to come. Decided I should find some info to help me started. I'm so excited.
Hi there! Definitely start with my form tutorial in the "getting started" playlist on my channel. There are some other helpful videos there as you wait for your new rebounder to arrive. Have fun!
@@EarthOwlI already have that one saved! 😊 I'm so happy I came across your channel. It will be a challenge for me to start. I used to lift weights & was pretty strong. But past 3-4 years I slowly became completely inactive. I'm a mature woman that is starting to feel the horrible consequences of that & need to get my body right before I feel like I can lift again. Hoping this gets me back in the groove.
Hello from Cape Town South Africa. I have my rebounder for a couple of years now. Never really knew which exercises to do on it and this definitely gives me a better scope of exercises to do. Admittingly however at age 63 I would prefer one with handle bars but for now my "earlier" version will have to do. I am specifically aiming my exercise at lymphoedema.
Greetings and welcome! Very grateful to have many South African followers here on my channel! Glad you enjoyed this one. You can follow these gals. We have around 15 workouts together on my channel here: czcams.com/play/PLLAFfYE-X47H9w99EpxAE4yaYdBB6h4-m.html
Had small injury and back! Loved these series of videos. Can you repeat some of what the ladies say little hard to hear them. Made it thru it thru except for the sit down on the rebounder, I did just to chair height. I applaud all the ladies that went all the way down and came back up.
So grateful for your channel Nikki. My rebounder arrived on Wednesday (Valentine’s Day!!) and I got right on it with your 5 minute workout. I did another 5 minutes of gentle movement on it on Thursday morning and then your 5 minute video that evening. Happy to have been watching several of your videos and will begin working on this one in a few days. I’ll be 63 soon and am committed to a healthy lifestyle to live vibrantly into my elder years as my family lives a long time. ❤
True Story....I had a participant who after only ONE session was able to wear shoes she hadn't worn in years due to swelling. Rebounding is a powerful tool in aiding your lymph system!
Do all your workout videos have warm up and cool downs? I just discovered your channel after looking at many different ones for beginner rebounding work outs and yours is the first that I have seen that has warm up and cool down which I love and really need.
Hi there!! No, not all workouts have a warm up cool down. I do suggest warming up for a few minutes before each workout. Once you've done this warm up a few times, you can repeat it for any workout. I do plan to make a brief warm up video. Thanks!!
14:38 she’s slower bc she’s heavier, she takes the mat down further = more distance down means more time to “recover” to flat again. It’s the difference of the front girl walking on nearly flat pavement and the heavier ones walking in and out of holes. A trampoline with metal coils wd be better for the heavier people as they don’t sink as easily as these banded ones do.
The rebounders shown have different tensions. That is the benefit to brands like Jumpsport and Bellicon. You can adjust the tension for your weight/body type. I have several videos explaining tension.
Quick question: Love rebounding! Got a spring rebounder. Noticed my back hurting a bit after workouts. Read that spring rebounders are not as forgiving on your joints as bungee ones. The question: before I spend the $$, is there really a big difference between them as far as joints and back are concerned? Thank you!!
Many people find spring rebounders to be too jarring. Did you practice the form tutorial first? Improper form often contributes to low back pain...or doing too much too soon.
We are using the Jumpsport 350Pro which is a 39 inch rebounder. I believe the mat size is 32.5. All the rebounder models I recommend are on my website www.earthandowl.com
You'd have to ask your doctor to be certain. You could also ask over in my private Facebook group if anyone has experience with rebounding and vertigo.
Some people do experience some dizziness and ill feelings when they they first begin. You may need to start with only a minute or two and work your way up. Take your time and listen to your body.
Untrue. A simple search will yield a great deal of information about lymphatic vessels and valves. Like veins, the lymphatic tributaries have thin walls and one-way valves to prevent back flow.
Perhaps you would be better suited to my “no talk” workout playlist here: czcams.com/play/PLLAFfYE-X47EjK-Hb9rbojd05Gu6d77uj.html&si=dP6sAmqNyfvj3C_H This video was made for people who need the talking and slower pace. The majority of these women have some type of chronic illness and/or health condition. This was just the right pace for them. I have many other types and styles of workout available.
I appreciated the talking. It was a BEGINNER class! Talking was for direction and to put the person at ease. Nikki attempts to accommodate all levels of rebounders.

I am 83 & also have POTS. Have increased my time to 10 minutes. Going to keep rebounding until 15 minutes. So Thankful🙏🏻✝️
@@donnaleeclubb119 I couldn’t say, but mini trampolines have come a long way and are more gentle than their 80s counterparts.
@@alicea278 That’s great! You can do it!! 💕

Glad it is helpful! We are having a ball creating and filming this series and hope it makes a positive impact in the lives of those who utilize it!
A big Thank You to the ladies! Your group is helping me a lot not to feel so awkward on the rebounder. Love from Germany😊
So glad! Thank you for watching!
I got my rebounder yesterday and put it together. Yours is the first work today. Thanks for getting me started. Appreciate it!!!
Fantastic! Enjoy your new rebounder!
Got mine yesterday as well..!

Absolutely!! Thanks Rob!
Your group is having so much fun and loving these new challenges!! Good on you you Nikki. Love the barn without distractions of an intimidating studio environment. This is the real deal!! :)
We definitely had a great time and are looking forward to our next session!
I agree!!
Why are studios sooo INDUSTRIAL when we're worķing on our soft flesh??
A hard environment may make the muscles harder for some super disciplined & dedicated people but it's not inspiring & sustainable for most people.
That was a superb beginner class!!!❤
Thank you!! 🥰

Wonderful! Excited to have you join us!
Very nice beginner routine.. thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Great series!

Hi , what size mats on your rebounders , thanks
We are using the Jumpsport 350Pro which is a 39 inch rebounder. I believe the mat size is 32.5. All the rebounder models I recommend are on my website www.earthandowl.com
Do you know when the 350 Pro will be back in stock?
This coming week. You’re welcome to place your order with me now. www.earthandowl.com - I’m a Jumpsport representative. Same prices as the website.
@@EarthOwl thank you, don’t have enough money right now but I’ll remember that!
Where do you order the different colored rebounders? I only see black on your website
The rebounders come standard with black cords. The colorful bungees are in the "accessories" section.
I would love to have a rebounder but I’m fearful due to BPPV.
Is rebounder usage contraindicated with vertigo ?Thank you .
You'd have to ask your doctor to be certain. You could also ask over in my private Facebook group if anyone has experience with rebounding and vertigo.
I do have a question. Sometimes you where shoes and sometimes on bare feet. Can you explain why?
Personal preference. I have an old knee injury and like the support of shoes. Some feel more balanced barefoot. Try both and see what you like.
My head feels foggy and I have a headache will this go away?
Some people do experience some dizziness and ill feelings when they they first begin. You may need to start with only a minute or two and work your way up. Take your time and listen to your body.
Is it ok to rebound in socks? Clunky athletic shoes make me feel less balanced.
Absolutely! I’d get the kind that are grippy on the bottom. 🙂
There are no lymphatic valves
Untrue. A simple search will yield a great deal of information about lymphatic vessels and valves. Like veins, the lymphatic tributaries have thin walls and one-way valves to prevent back flow.
coordination required.....🙄
