Trampolining has been called "exercise in disguise" due to the fun nature of bouncing. In addition to being a fun activity, NASA scientists have found the calorie-burning and aerobic benefits of trampolining to be more efficient than running or cycling.
Trampoline Exercise
Trampoline exercise is an all-over body workout that can help tone muscles and burn fat. As an aerobic form of exercise, rebounding also helps strengthen your cardiovascular system, increasing your overall fitness. Other benefits of regular trampoline exercise include stress relief, increased energy and prevention of bone conditions such as osteoporosis. Trampolining is also used in injury rehabilitation and physiotherapy due to the low-impact, yet beneficial nature of the sport.
Burning Calories and Metabolic Rate
Your metabolic rate is the rate at which your body burns calories. Trampolining has been found to improve the resting metabolic rate, meaning the tendency of your body to continue burning more calories after exercising. Diet, body type and various medical conditions can affect how many calories are burned during and after exercise.
Calories Burned Trampolining
In an hour you can burn around 250 calories when bouncing on a trampoline, assuming that you weigh 150 lbs. However, the actual amount of calories burned can vary depending on the intensity of the workout and the weight of the participant.
