Is the ability to adjust the tension of the mat really useful?

My understanding is that the tension should be reduced for lighter users and increased for heavier users. I've never bothered to change mine from the 'factory' setting and it seems to work fine. Also, the tension adjustment must be applied to each band and there are quite a few. This means that it would be impractical (for example) to change the tension between two users sharing the trampoline.

Yes, if the tension is too loose for you it's convenience to switch to a higher tension. The higher the individual's weight the higher the tension must be to prevent the trampoline from bottoming out. So far, I really like it :)

Hi Jerle - I've never tried to adjust the tension on my JumpSport. I bought the JST after I got hooked on rebounding at our fitness club. The club used all jumpSport. I haven't been disappointed.

yes because you can switch the tension in different directions or even finger to finger with this equipment.

yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be... » Read More yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. « Show Less

Yes probably at a slower speed. I use it on my shoulders and neck and feel it helps work out tension

I have not had that experience with my Mat. Are you sure you had the right side down?

i mean if that's what you you want to do with it, then i guess its good for it. It has really great cushioning for a yoga mat and provides good support for high stress areas of pressure placement. just keep in mind that it has a rectangular shape (mat) and that it is not really a square shaped (pad)

Hello Anish,I don't think you can adjust the tension of the net. The current tension is sufficient enough. The net has enough lag at the bottom where even if you hit your strongest shot, the ball will not bounce back to you.I even tried kicking soccer ball I'm the net, my daughter is in soccer, and it was all good. So no worries about the tension. Hope this helps.

What mat? I only used this product by itself. I had that thing packed to its fullest capacity and it was strapped down perfectly. It did not move an inch, so if you do things very safely and securely, you should not have a problem. Hope this helps.

No tension adjustment on my older model, I recall it was quiet. I stopped using it and made space for an elliptical a few years ago.

Yes, it is effective for arms too. You will need to adjust the tension down when working your arms.

Absolutely...I wish I had known about this mat years ago! My practise has improved so much since I bought my Synergy as i am no longer constantly having to readjust myself. Now I can concentrate on the finer points of alignment and go so much deeper in every pose as I'm not slipping! I use mine in heated and non-heated classes and recommend it 100% - try it, I guarantee you'll love it!

Sorry im honestly not sure. I believe it will becuase the tension is fully adjustable.

Simple answer is yes BUT if I understand your goal, I have seen better solutions with an articulating arm. You may want to search that . While this does have a wide range of adjustments , it is not something I would want to do on a regular basis .

I am recovering from a lower back injury so i don't stretch to the maximum, i'm probably using it like a person of short stature would. I can't say so for a really tall person. I do really love this mat :)

I have found that both sides are useable. It helps that the mat doesn't slip easily on the floor thereby providing for stability. Let's both enjoy our mat for a long time.

my view is that percussion causes vibration, so while it is adjustable, the higher settings givehigher percussion, which causes more vibration. Its not quite as strong as the older HoMedics Pro massagerbut still well worth the price.

To each their own. If your looking to pedal to attempt to tone up while using a small space than this is the item your looking for. The tension is adjustable. And it is a noticeable adjustment at that. My bike worked so well building muscle tone I had to stop using it, Lol.. In the summer I put it on my porch or deck in front of the fan and pedal away while the kids are at play.
