Estimate calories burned while jumping on a trampoline from body weight, workout time, and selected intensity MET value.
Trampoline Jumping Calories Formula
Use the following formula to calculate calories burned while jumping on a trampoline:
- C = calories burned (kcal)
- BW = body weight (lbs)
- T = time jumping (minutes)
- F = trampoline jumping factor
Use 0.02778 for light jumping, 0.03969 for moderate jumping, and 0.04763 for vigorous jumping.
How many calories do you burn jumping on a trampoline?
Trampoline jumping raises heart rate quickly while training the calves, quads, glutes, and core. The faster your bounce rate and the less rest between jumps, the more calories you burn per minute.
| Body Weight | Light | Moderate | Vigorous |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150 lb | 4.17 cal/min | 5.95 cal/min | 7.14 cal/min |
| 180 lb | 5.00 cal/min | 7.14 cal/min | 8.57 cal/min |
| 200 lb | 5.56 cal/min | 7.94 cal/min | 9.53 cal/min |
How to Calculate Trampoline Jumping Calories
Example: a 200-lb person jumps for 30 minutes at a moderate pace.
C = BW × T × F
C = 200 × 30 × 0.03969
C = 238.14 calories
30-Minute Trampoline Jumping Totals
- 150 lb at moderate pace: 178.60 calories
- 180 lb at moderate pace: 214.32 calories
- 200 lb at moderate pace: 238.14 calories
FAQ
Is trampoline jumping good cardio?
Yes. It elevates heart rate quickly and can build endurance while adding less ground impact than many other cardio exercises.
What changes calorie burn the most?
Body weight, total time, and jumping pace have the biggest effect. Higher bounce intensity and fewer breaks increase calories burned per minute.
How many calories does 15 minutes of trampoline jumping burn?
At a moderate pace, 15 minutes burns about 89.30 calories at 150 lb, 107.16 calories at 180 lb, and 119.07 calories at 200 lb.
