A small, mini trampoline or rebound trampoline is ideal for those who have knee injuries.

And since mini trampolines are not designed for high jumping, there is less pressure on the joints during exercise. You can keep it indoor, in front of your television, and jump up and down while you watch television.

The bigger trampolines for outdoor use and placed in the backyards or lawns are usually weatherproofed and rust proofed.
