| Bouncing on mini (or big!) trampolines is supposed to help with cellulite. Something to do with lymphatic drainage and being suspended in air momentarily. Can't remember all the details but it's something like that. | ||

I've got one and have been using it at least 5 times, sometimes 7 days a week for around 30 mins.. I have a problem with cellulite on my thighs and bum.. But since ive been using the trampoline I have found that my thighs and bum have become alot firmer and my cellulite isnt as bad as what it was two weeks back!! Either it certainly helps or its just that my thighs and bum have tightened up that its not that noticeable... Seems to have helped me though |

I don't know anything about the trampoline but what I read about cellulite is that because cellulite is fatty deposits the more muscle you put under the cellulite the more it will break up. IDK. I'm doing the Nivea cellulite 4 wk challenge along with diet and exercise. I'll let ya know how it goes. http://www.niveausa.com/highlights/local_highlight/local_gbc _challenge/?source=niveachallenge |

Hey, you might find this page http://www.sundancerebounders.com/md.htm interesting, it has a huge list of all the benefits associated with mini tramping =] |

I know you didn't ask me to, but I looked at that Nivea challenge workout... Oy. The nutrition and other information on-site was okay, but my Ghod, the workout information? That was pretty terrible. The workout advice there ranged from the laughable (use 3-5lbs weights? Your purse weights more!) to the downright wrong (yoga as strength training? Only for someone who've never in their life exercised before, and then only for the first couple months unless you've got an exceptional teacher). And when looking at the workout videos - Good Lord, what was that supposed to be? If I didn't know better, I'd swear that was either a practical joke or the most elaborate insult I've yet seen - and it was only made worse by the trainer appearing to be serious about that being a workout as opposed to the warmup. It was all "Pink Dumbbell" stuff - you're lucky Spirochete didn't see it first :-P It's not all doom and gloom, of course; the diet advice wasn't bad. But if you replace the workout from that challenge with something sensible from one of the many program suggestions around here and start using weights that are an appropriate challenge for you instead of an insult to your capability, you'll have better results. You'll have some kind of result from just following the challenge as presented, of course. Which makes it better than nothing, at the very least. Even if the results you'll have are vastly inferior to the ones from doing a good program; assuming equal consistency in performing them. One of the big advantages the rebounder has is - it's fun. I like fun - it's easy to be consistent about activities you enjoy, and consistency brings results even when the workout itself isn't super effective. Consistency is the primary determining factor for your success, not the effectiveness and efficiency of any single workout. Most of the health claims on the Sundancerebounders site was a mix of good old-fashioned snake oil, dubious science, spurious claims and wildly exaggerated statistics. But that really doesn't matter - it's still cardio activity, and while it won't do most - or even any - of what's on the label, it will help you burn calories; making it easier to maintain a sensible calorie deficit. And that's where the magic is - in the calorie deficit. |

I have jogged (bounced) on my mini trampoline for about 7 hours a week for the past three months. It burns around 300 calories per hour and I haven't noticed even a tiny difference in the appearance of cellulite. I have lost 25 pounds in that time, but I think any cardio could have done just as nice of a job. My guess is that the cellulite thing is a myth. I hope this info helps. |

Yeah Im not doing the work outs or the eating plans. I was just referring to the lotion and vitamins. I do my own work outs mostly derived from ppl here and the lovely advice I get from you guys. As well as what little I remember from having had a PT as a roomate 15 years ago. Two weeks in to this Nivea challenge now and my cellulite doesn't look one bit different. Save your money ladies!
