A mini trampoline is a smaller version of a regular trampoline. Also known as a rebounder, mini trampolines usually measure about 40 inches in diameter. Mini trampolines offer a low impact way to exercise at home. Mini trampolines can be used for many exercises, including basic jogging.

Step 1

Step up onto the mini trampoline. Consider holding onto something or someone for balance if you have never been on a mini trampoline.

Step 2

Lift one knee up a few inches, then the other to begin a basic marching motion. Walk in place for a few minutes to get the feel of the trampoline.

Step 3

Pump your arms alongside your body as you increase your pace. Continue to move faster, until you are no longer walking, and have started a slow jog.

Step 4

Alternate lifting your knees to your chest and raising your heels to your butt. Perform each version for a couple minutes before you switch.
