Mini-trampoline vs. Jogging?

Question

It's summer in midtown New York, and the air quality is making my jogs less than pleasant and less than healthy. I have begun to try jogging on the rebounder (mini-trampoline), and wondered if anyone knew if the calories burned and cardiovascular benefits were as good running on a rebounder as on the street. The charts I have seen all test the mini-trampoline vs. running at 5 MPH, but my pace is more like 8 MPH. I would assume a similar pace on the rebounder. Any thoughts? Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

Normal jogging is better

Answer 2

What Pollution in NY? Now you will know what the athletes in Bejing will be up against.

If it is unhealthy to run outside and you are getting a cardiovascular workout then it probably is an alternative to the treadmill, exercycle and swimming.

Running is hard on your body and I am wondering that the lack of pounding may soften your body up and when you get outside again this could lead to an injury. Perhaps try and get one outside run a week. It will also serve to evaluate if you are maintaining your fitness with the mini-tramp.

Aqua jogging in a pool is very good at replicating running training.

Answer 3

definitely jogging!!!
