Minitrampoline Exercises for Beginners – The Perfect Introduction to bellicon Training.

Everything you should know before your first trampoline workout:

Many people who are new to training on the bellicon wonder: What’s the best way to get started? Do I need to be particularly athletic? Is the workout suitable for me if I have back pain, osteoporosis, arthritis, or knee problems? And what if I feel unsteady on the mini trampoline?

Training on the bellicon is designed so you can start gently and safely – whether you’re a beginner, haven’t exercised in a long time, or want to start with mild physical concerns. With just a few simple exercises, you can gently accustom your body to the bouncing motion. Even 5 to 10 minutes a day are enough to feel the first positive effects.

In this article, you’ll learn how to start mini trampoline training in the best possible way, and which effective beginner exercises will guide you step by step into your workout routine.

To start safely and with motivation, place your bellicon mini trampoline on a non-slip, level surface and check that all screw-on legs are securely attached and the folding legs are fully unfolded. Make sure the surrounding area is clear and wear comfortable clothing.

Barefoot, in socks, or with shoes? There’s no right or wrong here. In general, we recommend training barefoot, as mini trampoline workouts without shoes are particularly effective for strengthening your foot muscles. Non-slip socks give you good grip and keep your feet warm. For intensive jumping fitness classes, however, it can be a good idea to wear shoes for extra support and stability. Listen to your body and try out what makes you feel secure.

Standing correctly, bouncing safely: The posture basics.

Good posture is the foundation for safe and effective bellicon training for beginners. Place your feet parallel and hip-width apart, keep your knees slightly bent, your pelvis neutral, and your upper body upright. Gently draw your shoulders back and down, engage your core – without tensing up – and maintain a calm, steady breathing rhythm. Start with gentle bouncing, always keeping your heels in contact with the mat. The bellicon responds to your movement with soft rebound, stimulating your circulation, lymphatic flow, and balance – ideal for starting your training and developing a secure body feeling.

Training on the bellicon is easy on your joints because the jumping mat, supported by patented bungees, gently absorbs impact. Even people with back or knee issues can benefit and noticeably reduce discomfort. The important thing is not to overexert yourself. Begin with short sessions (5–10 minutes) and gradually increase. If you feel unsure, consider using a support handle or T-bar.

Simple mini trampoline exercises to start your training:

  1. Gentle bouncing
    Stand hip-width apart on the bellicon, keep your knees slightly bent, and start bouncing gently from your legs. Keep your heels in contact with the mat. This exercise activates your deep muscles and improves your sense of balance.
  2. Walking in place
    Simulate slow walking on the bellicon. Place your feet alternately while maintaining an upright posture. This is easy on the joints and stimulates circulation.
  3. Weight shifting
    Shift your weight alternately from one foot to the other, letting your heels lift slightly from the mat. This exercise trains balance and coordination.
  4. Gentle jogging
    Once you feel confident, you can start with gentle jogging in place. Keep your knees relaxed and the movement small to carefully activate joints and muscles. Start with just a few minutes and gradually increase. This way, your body can adapt gently and you’ll create a solid foundation for more advanced exercises.
