Mini trampolines are similar in appearance to their larger counterparts, but are intended for use in the home, and many models are designed to fold up when not in use. Use of the device in a workout often consists of jogging in place while on the trampoline.
Considerations
Different users will experience different calorie loss benefits when jogging on a trampoline, depending on body weight and the intensity of the exercise performed. As such, the number of calories burned while using the device may change over time as your fitness level improves.
Effects
A person who weighs 145 pounds will burn 231 calories by spending an hour jogging on a trampoline, while a person weighing 185 pounds will burn 294 calories by performing the same exercise. Increasing the pace at which you jog will help you to burn more calories.
Benefits
One benefit of jogging on a mini trampoline is that it reduces the amount of stress on the body's joints. Normal jogging requires your feet to constantly impact the ground, causing strain on the knees.
