About trampoline
Jumping on a trampoline burns more than most people expect, because the mat gives your calves and quads a load on every landing and your core works nonstop to keep you upright. The 2024 Compendium rates recreational trampolining at 6.3 METs, about 443 calories an hour for a 155 lb jumper, which puts it above a brisk walk and roughly level with hiking. Competitive trampolining is rated 10.3 METs, near the cost of a steady run.

Tips for Trampoline
- Land with soft knees near the center of the mat, the edge gives you almost nothing back
- Fix your eyes on one spot on the mat to keep your bounce under control
- Work in 60 second bursts with short rests to lift your heart rate well past a steady bounce
- Jump one person at a time, most trampoline injuries happen when two people land together
