So I bought a rebounder and it stayed in my art studio for a year before I actually did anything with it. I had watched these twins and knew I was gonna look so stupid doing their videos, and I was skeptical about the muscle building, but I thought, you know what, I'm gonna pull the blinds, lock my door and just go for it. Nothing had worked after menopause, even weights... I have a bad lower back and was constantly pulling it whenever I tried to up the weight. When you watch the workout videos, it doesn't look like much UNTIL you actually do one. This is comparable to walking in sand as opposed to the solid ground. It's HARD work! I've done it for six months now, I love it! I was walking up the stairs last week and stopped halfway up when I noticed a muscle popping out of the side of my thigh. My husband was behind me and said, "Holy moly, that's new!" It works! It takes time, it won't happen in a month. I have gained muscle and lost 20 lbs so far and anyone over 55 knows that's an accomplishment. I have also tried various other YouTubers' rebounding workouts, one in particular that is supposed to help with muscle gain and, Nope! These girls have the muscle building moves down to a science... they are the best out there! I now do one of their 50 minute videos, 4 days a week and walk 2-3 miles a day with my dog. I mix chia seeds with almond milk and have 2 tablespoons before each meal to keep insulin spikes at a minimum, eat mostly whole foods, and that's it! I cannot believe after trying for the last 5 years to lose the menopause belly, that this is all it took. I am so thankful for the I Jump Instead channel!

Another great workout! Day 12! I've noticed something kind of amazing! I'm a singer, 51 y.o., and I was beginning to lose a lot of tone in my diaphragm, which results in poorer control in the tone of the voice. That is changing! Singing is feeling more effortless again, and my tone is starting to sound more like it did when I was younger! I'm thrilled!

Hola from the Dominican Republic... I have been rebounding off and on for about 10 years now... I did step away from it for a few years, but when I went to the Dominican Republic and found out they did not sell rebounders there, I went back to the United States, ordered one from Facebook marketplace, put it in a barrel, had it shipped to the Dominican Republic and found this amazing I Jump Instead rebounding channel with these amazing, very knowledgeable instructors... Very professional... Very inspirational as well... The way I do not get into the serious rebounding video such as the 30 minute plus because my body will not allow it right now I am still enjoying the six minute, 10 minute, 15 minute routines that absolutely make my body feel wonderful... If there are any menopausal women out there who are reading this and are debating whether they should get a rebounder or not, I’d highly encourage you to do so, it will change your life... The rebounder has so many benefits for men and women, but especially as older women... And something else that I have to share the rebounder is the only piece of exercise equipment that I have purchased within my 57 years upon this birth, and actually use it every day... I have wasted thousands upon thousands of dollars on machines that I use for a few months, and then they start collecting dust... The rebounder not so much! I am inspired and encouraged and motivated by I Jump Instead on YouTube... I have a couple other channels that I follow but I Jump Instead gives me the most joy, the best workouts, and on, and also the best motivation... So go get yourself a rebounder and start rebounding... Take the advice of these instructors and start out slowly do your research, buy a decent rebounder. There is no need to spend $700 on a rebounder I didn’t even spend $200 on my rebounder and I absolutely love it... I did buy it on Facebook market from an elderly woman who did not like rebounding. She only used it about six times and I got a great deal... Brand is BCAN 48INCH WITH SPRINGS... I highly encourage you to do your research on rebounders with springs and rebounders with bungees... You can research it on this channel I Jump Instead, they explain it very well... And they also use both! Happy, bouncing, everyone get moving get your body moving!

Next month is 5 years of rebounding for me! This past year and half has been one of the hardest stretches of my life. A year and half ago we took a disabled foster child into our home (not planned, extreme circumstances). The stress has been intense and that flared up my autoimmune diseases. I have dealt with severe sciatica and migraines on top of that. I have been in pure survival mode. And my rebounder has been there waiting. I haven't been rebounding with any regularity, as I've been having two migraines a week. But, I refuse to give up. I'm visiting my parents this week and using my mom's Cellerciser, and this morning I did 12 minutes of week 16 with Sally. I truly believe this is the path forward for my health and I will keep going, I will keep rebuilding my health. Rebounding is the exercise most accessible to me and the least likely to flare my autoimmune issues. I tell everyone that will listen that it's an amazing exercise modality for people of all health levels! I Jump Instead!!!!

Yesterday was my one year anniversary bouncing!! I had tried it before years ago but could not be consistent, and I didn't know half of what I know now thanks to you/IJI 🥰 I, too, have been stunned by my improvements! Next steps: become consistent with your classes (not just imitating things I see on your so-helpful little clips) And 2. Eventually pull the trigger on the Cellerciser. But I must say, I don't regret the BCAN for a minute!!! PS, I hate "exercise" and have NEVER been as consistent and self motivated as I have with this ❤️

Thank you Trophy Sally. I just discovered this senior class and love it. I immediately hopped on my rebounder to follow along. Somehow I missed your other senior classes. I love these 6 min. classes. I am 72 years old and have been rebounding for a little over a year now, but have not been consistent. I have gone through your other classes and love them. I believe these classes will help me to rebound daily. My goal is to do 2 or 3 a day; after each meal. I'm trying to get rid of the last 15 lbs. to reach my goal weight and I know my lack of movement is keeping me from that. I love the nature sounds to your video, as well as, the workout timeline that you show on the screen. That helps me to hang in and not stop. Thank you and your sister for what you do. You truly are Trophies and a delight. I don't know of any other channel that gives such a variety of level trainings. I love it. So when I graduate from this level and can "move on up"; as the Jefferson's used to say. LOL. God Bless you both and keep up the great work.

Day 5 done! I'm really enjoying getting up early and jumping first thing! It's really super-charging my morning! I'm so excited to have found something that will take me through the second half of my life with energy, strength, and good mobility! With weight lifting, an injury could take me out for weeks, but now I know how to rehab any injury and still get a whole-body workout! Thank you again for what you are doing! 💙

I am blessed to have a jump sport 350 pro, 44" bellicon and cellerciser. I use each for different types of workouts. The bellicon is a more aerobic workout, cellerciser for muscle strength. To me the most important aspect is the twins, not which rebounder. Their workouts are great. I love the mind body connection. I've followed many instructors and I love the twins the best, if you want a trophy body!

Hello Stephanie and Sally! You have been my inspiration since the beginning of my rebounding journey. There is NO other figure that's this genuine out there in this space! I want to thank you for all you do as you inspire people to change and better their lives, and you do it with such conviction and joy that it transpires!

This was challenging and yet because it was only 7 minutes, I was able to get over the block in my mind about not being able to do it. Also, I LOVE the ocean sounds, it makes this powerful workout also soothing to my nervous system. Thank you to the whole Trophy family.

Week 7 has begun!!!! I'm so much stronger. I'm down 3 lbs. I'm looking better. Sleeping better. Feeling better. Thank you so much for all you do. Weights were too hard on me. I felt so stiff but not with this. I feel free and jubilant jumping with you all.

MysteriousSnail4life — YouTube

Yes, I totally agree with this lady! The same!!! I am grateful for the two of you in my life!! I have to say that I am 40, and always in different kinds of training for life, mostly the gym... BUT I really was at the end of my optimism that I was going to make it to change my body in the way I wish... AND THEN God or whatever you believe... destiny... put you in my suggested feed... and CLICK!!!!! Thank you!!! Big thank you!!! For just 5 days... I feel something big is happening in my body! Heeheheh and I am also just dreaming of my legs looking like yours when jumping 🥰🥰🥰! Also ONE BIG THING — you are not just good coaches, you are born to inspire, also real ladies and THANK YOU FOR everything!!!!!! All blessings from above I wish for you two!!! All the best!!!

What a blessing I found your class! I am 66 and have been battling being overweight for the past 14 years, due to a lower back injury from a chiropractor, and struggle to find exercises that don't hurt me. Anyway, I literally cried after I completed this workout without any pain in my back. Thank you so much to you, and your sister!

You've already been a big inspiration to me in the 3 weeks I've had my rebounder. I found your channel as one of the first that I follow. I mean to tell you, I have majorly struggled with perimenopausal exhaustion (among other things) and I was headed towards perma couch potato status. I somehow got inspired because rebounding came up in my YouTube algorithm and I finally (finally!) have found something I can do consistently because I look forward to it. Three weeks of twice-a-day bouncing for me and I already see more definition in my arms and I can get my jeans buttoned again! Plus I don't ever dread getting on my rebounder. I have more energy without a doubt! I am just taking it slow but have used some basic moves I have learned from you and spend about 20–25 minutes a day split into two sessions. I will continue to follow and maybe I can get my atrocious diet straightened out a bit better. 🤭 Thank you again for being an inspiration for fun and health! ❤️

This was my 2nd (ever) video with you. I've been "trying" rebounding for the last few months but other channels have not resonated with me. I loved this class, and yesterday's beginner daily workout! Thank you for how easy you made this for me! My mission is to rebound daily now. By the way, I have a BCAN 40" rebounder and I'm 60 this year 😊

✅ I am 59. I have had knee replacement surgery on my right knee. It had been a long 3-year recovery. I found you 2 years ago. I started on a BCAN and then upgraded to a Cellerciser. Big difference. I am getting stronger and I go back to these basics to make sure I am building the right muscles in the right way. Thank you for all you twins do! I have more strength and flexibility in two years of rebounding than I ever had in 9 years of yoga. It has improved my posture and my ability to walk. Your videos help me be consistent and have taught me so much. I can do my knee exercises and pelvic floor PT and my ankle PT and hum all in one place in 30 min. That is priceless!

Loving the new formula! 😁💃 It provides such a great balance of cardio, strength, flexibility, and mindfulness. The addition of body tapping, humming, facial exercises, breathing, and positive affirmations really makes it feel like a complete wellness program rather than just a workout. I also love how the shorter routines can fit into any lifestyle and encourage consistency. It feels like an approach that supports not only physical health but also mental and emotional wellbeing. I completed all 6 of the 12-minute routines back to back because I'm used to jumping for 60 minutes a day and I'm a little bit crazy! 🤪😂 That said, I can completely understand the thinking behind this new formula and the scientific evidence supporting the benefits of moving multiple times throughout the day rather than relying on one long workout. I love that the routines can be spread throughout the day or completed together, giving everyone the flexibility to make the program work for them. Well done, ladies! 👏❤️💃

I agree with I JUMP INSTEAD. I'm 75 and have been jumping more than a year on the Cellerciser. I also have a collection of rebounders such as Bellicon, JumpSport, ReboundAir, Urban Rebounder, several BCANs, and the Cellerciser. The one I bounce on daily is the Cellerciser — it has given my body more tone, shape, and muscle than I have had in many years. It is the resistance of the mat and springs that makes it work for the transformation of your body. Thank you to I JUMP INSTEAD for continuing to inspire us all.

Gloria — Facebook

Can I tell you something? I have had a Bellicon for about 8 years. I love it. I use "strong" bungees. As some of you know, I just came across a Cellerciser for $45 on Marketplace. To be honest, I didn't believe you guys when you mentioned how it's different and that you get more muscle activation because of the way it's made — until now. I used it five times this week and I'm amazed. I felt more muscle activation right off the bat and I'm actually seeing more muscle definition in my arms only after using it five times. I'm sold. I love my Cellerciser. I just ordered the handlebar. I'm getting married next Saturday on the 20th and I believe by then I'll look even better in my wedding dress because of my new baby.

The passion 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️ I left the gym for you two!!! Best thing I ever did! I am still in my "in awe" stage of switching to a rebounder — the sheer shock of how amazing, easy, fun, scientific, brilliant it is. And I am just dreaming of my legs looking like yours every time I jump! And the best part is I get to be at home and do it whenever I want to. No driving, no gym bag, no energies of all those people and unhealthy lights, chlorine, loud music. It was sensory overload for me. Couldn't handle it anymore. Then you guys show up in my feed and boom — my life changed.

Thank you ladies from the bottom of my heart. I have been jumping with you for a year now, and you have helped me to come back into the awareness of my body and feel autonomous again. I have a neurological disorder that causes vertigo, balance issues (that have me falling down), and vision loss. When I could no longer do boot camp and work out the way I used to, I felt disconnected and defeated. I searched endlessly for something I could do that honoured my needs both physically and emotionally. I found it in jumping and with the two of you. Thank you for describing the exercises and positions with continuous verbal reminders. I don't have words for how valuable that is to people with vision loss. Thank you for reminding me to love and respect my body. You are truly changing lives! Lots of love! 💖💫🥰

Carolynleah111 — YouTube

Yes!! I was just describing to my husband how my muscles are so much more defined after rebounding with you for just 6 months now. I have herniated lumbar discs so I cannot fully jump so I keep my feet close to the mat or lift heels but you girls and this rebounder have brought so much healing to my body!! 59 years old and will do this the rest of my life!! ❤️❤️🎉

Love you ladies, I am so thankful that your channel popped up on my YouTube one day as I was searching for “other” rebounding videos that weren’t boring, or so much talking!!!! Your sisters’ testimony is inspiring and I’ve been a Trophy ever since... God bless you and yours, and your very professional, informative, safe, effective, fun, multi-layer, motivated, well-instructed program... I Jump Instead... Is an understatement!!
