You selected a great exercise to ask about.  According to Albert E. Carter in The Miracles of Rebound Exercise, "Rebound exercise is the most efficient, effective form of exercise yet devised by man."  I'd highly recommend you check out a book called The Fat Flush Fitness Plan by Ann Louise Gittleman and Joanie Greggains.  Rebounding is their preferred form of exercise and you'll learn a lot of great information about it.  To list just a few exercises, you could walk bounce, flat bounce, march bounce, and do a high bounce.

There are two basic ways:\n1) Take a bit of a run-up and jump into the air about a meter infront of the end of the board.  Time the speed and distance so you land near the end of the board (as close as possible without danger of slipping off - you will crack your back and head on the edge of the board).  As you are in the air raise your legs a bit and as you come down straighten your legs onto the board.  With your weight pushing the board down and the thrust of you legs it will give you extra spring.  This will project you up into the air quite high and because of the run-up, forward.  Sort of go up and then bend in the air down into the dive.  This is a good way to start.   Oh yes, as you feel the board is about to spring you up push with your legs, down.  This will give you more spring and lift.\nYou will get the feel of it after a few jumps.\n\n2) Stand on the dge of the board and jump up, raise your legs and as you come down straighten them into the spring of the board. (like above). Do this mabe three times and you will get good height (like in a trampoline).  Then dive.  With this you don't have the forward motion so becareful you will land near the fron of the board, on the last spring, spring forward.  Do the same bend in the air and dive in.\n\nIf you have a trampoline to practice the leg movement on - great.  If not keep practicing till you get it (usually 5 or so jumps).  The first few might be bit odd.  From there you can start doing summersaults and stuff using the run-up as forward momentum.  Only do this when you are comfortable though.  And be prepared for a couple of very ouch landings.  Good fun!  Its all about co-ords and timing.  After a few jumps it is second nature and you won't even think about it.\n\nGood luck and happy landings!

I found this site with a lot of gyms in Colorado. http://www.usgyms.net/colorado.htm\nCheck it out and call around to find out if anyone's willing to let you jump on the trampoline and into the foam pit with or without the board. The safest way to do it is with the gear on but you can try without, the only problem is your body won't accept it as easily when you try without the stuff attached. Gym classes are pretty important unless you go during the off hours like during the school day. Another safe way to try is after you get comfortable on the trampoline, try to do in on the ground without the board. That helps you get used to the shock of the landing.

Excercise that raises your heart rate. Try Yoga Booty Ballet. It's got it all! ;)

I would definitely say Pilates. This exercise uses gravity to tone your muscles. One for the legs is:  Lay on your back, flat. Lift one leg in the air and make the letter P. That is just one example. I believe that Pilates is one of the best ways to TONE muscles, Not build

you can jump with weights in your hands, jump on a trampoline and then jump on the ground, and try jumping up to a point that you can't reach about 30 times a day and after about a 2 weeks you will be able to touch that spot depending on how far from your reach it is.

I have taught gymnastics (to kids) for many years.  I did teach my adult (non-gymnast) brother to do a back handspring though.  So you're never too old to learn.  Before I would teach a front tuck on the ground I would teach it on the trampoline.  After you learn how to correctly do the flip on the tramp then you can move it to the floor.  Most gymnastics clubs have a trampoline so I would look for lessons there.  Some gymnastics clubs do have adult classes or some would set up private lessons for you with one of their coaches.  I would look up gyms in your local phone book and just call and ask questions.  I believe people can do anything they put their minds to.  Just be willing to do the hard work that comes with it.  Good luck!

You should get them a pool, if you live somewhere warm.\n\nKids tend to get bored of trampolines within a year and swingsets within afew months, but there's always something new to do in a pool!

you can do a variety of exercises with little-to-no equipment. bodyweight exercises such as push-ups are great. If you invest a little bit of $$$ you can get a used barbell and some free weights & make a complete routine from scratch. Use a heavy object (depending on your strength level now, something possibly as light as a dictionary) for lying pullovers; use heavy handheld objects (i.e. a soup can) for overhead tricep extensions. Do farmers walks with buckets full of water or sand; do lunges the same way. Hook your ankles under the edge of your sofa and do reverse hamstring curls. If you can go to a park you can really get a good free workout: chins and dips on the monkey bars, step-ups on a park bench, etc.

do some circuit workouts that involves lots of running around and jumping up and down. also, jump rope is a very good stamina builder. jump at medium pace for 5 min, rest 2 min, then do another 5 min

This is a more difficult move and I find that when I twist if I tuck my head to my shoulder (whichever way Im turning) and dont move it, it works really good. This keeps ur head from sticking out which can cause a sloppy full. Also u might work on doing full twists on a trampoline to help get the motions down. And pretty much if u know how to twist and u can do a high layout u will be able to throw ur full twist. Good luck with it!
