I've heard that they're pretty good for losing weight. And I'd rather jump up and down on a trampoline in my room listening to music, then run at 6am in the morning through the student area of town.

Do they actually work?

i dont know about the mini ones, but at my parents house as a kid we had a big huge trampoline in the backyard.. infact, it's still there. i just just jumped on it yesterday.

it's fun.. but tiring. after like 10-15 minutes of straight bouncing, you sort of dont have a choice but to drop.

i also dont know if it's effective for weight loss, but, when i was a cheerleader in high school (for like 3 months) we'd use the big trampolines to train on. it really helps with flexibility, toning, etc.

Trampolines are really good for loosing weight, but it gets boring jumping up and down for too long. Also its hard if you arent very fit.

trampolines get old fast.

I don't have time to go running. I work nights, so there's never really a good time to go for a jog.

I figured if I trampolined for 15 minutes everyday instead of pissing about on the internet it might help tone up a little.

I doubt it could be more boring than running through the student area of town.
