🏃 Trampoline Calories Burned Calculator
Calculate exactly how many calories you burn jumping on a trampoline or rebounding — by weight, time, and intensity.
| Body Weight | 15 min | 30 min | 45 min | 60 min |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 110 lbs (50 kg) | 69 | 138 | 207 | 276 |
| 130 lbs (59 kg) | 82 | 164 | 246 | 328 |
| 155 lbs (70 kg) | 98 | 196 | 294 | 392 |
| 180 lbs (82 kg) | 114 | 228 | 342 | 456 |
| 200 lbs (91 kg) | 127 | 254 | 381 | 508 |
| 220 lbs (100 kg) | 139 | 279 | 419 | 558 |
| 250 lbs (113 kg) | 158 | 316 | 474 | 633 |
| Intensity | MET | 30 min (kcal) | 60 min (kcal) | vs. Running |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Bounce | 2.8 | 156 | 313 | ~40% |
| Moderate Jump | 3.5 | 196 | 392 | ~50% |
| Intervals | 4.5 | 252 | 503 | ~65% |
| Rebound Jog | 4.8 | 269 | 538 | ~68% |
| Vigorous Jump | 5.8 | 325 | 650 | ~83% |
| Competitive | 6.5 | 364 | 728 | ~93% |
| Activity | Duration | Calories (~155 lbs) | Trampoline Equiv. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Walking (3 mph) | 30 min | ~149 | ~23 min moderate |
| Running (6 mph) | 30 min | ~372 | ~34 min vigorous |
| Cycling (moderate) | 30 min | ~281 | ~35 min vigorous |
| Swimming (laps) | 30 min | ~372 | ~34 min vigorous |
| Jump Rope | 30 min | ~421 | ~39 min vigorous |
| Aerobics class | 30 min | ~211 | ~30 min intervals |
Calories burned = MET x weight in kg x time in hours. For a 70 kg person jumping moderately (MET 3.5) for 30 min: 3.5 x 70 x 0.5 = 122.5 kcal (base). Multiply by 1.15 for full metabolic rate.
Adding arm movements while jumping can increase calorie burn by 10–15%. High-intensity interval rebounding sessions burn up to 40% more than steady-state bouncing in the same time period.
Jumping on a Trampoline? It really is a good way to burn Calories. Most folks burn between 250 and 325 Calories during one hour when they simply jump around.
Of course, that changes based on the weight of the person and the strength of the jumps. For example, folks weighing 180 pounds burn around 5 to 9 Calories a minute, depending on the level of effort.
Calories You Burn Jumping on a Trampoline
Meanwhile a long session of half an hour puts most folks in the range of 150 to 240 Calories. Some sources even say that it can reach up to 350 Calories in that time. Weird but true, that beats the spending during hiking for the same length.
It impresses, because it feels like a fun game.
The strength of the jumping really affects the result. Light, gentle jumps where the feet almost never leave the ground? Then the burn is less.
But if one does bigger jumps, adds spins or twists, the Calories grow quickly. Moves with the whole body beat simply standing and gentle bouncing. The longer the session, the more energy one spends.
Here what surprises: jumping on a small Trampoline beats supposedly better exercises like running, swimming or cycling for Calories spending. At high levels, it matches the Calories output of running, but without straining the knees, hips and lower back. The surface of the Trampoline absorbs a lot of the impact, so it is much more gentle too the joints than hitting the pavement.
That gives a clear advantage.
Working on a Trampoline involves the whole body, not only the legs. It is real cardio, the heart always works harder, which makes it good heart activity. Simple jumping can have a 150-pound person burning almost 500 Calories during an hour.
Compare that with jumping rope, which is another move. Jumping rope engages more muscles, because the rhythm of swinging adds extra tension to the body. A Trampoline helps with its bounce, so muscles must not work as hard.
One hour of rope jumping burns around 550 Calories, while running is near 400 for the same time.
One warning: trained athletes commonly overdo it during sessions on a Trampoline. The jumping can mess with devices that measure movement and heart, pushing the numbers up more than actually. Some who tried that found their heart reaching unusually high spikes during jumping.
Also, be careful: the knees can feel pain the next day after a hard jumpfest.
For serious competing athletes, the Calories spending reaches between 640 and 870 during an hour. For usual fun jumping, it falls in 390 to 530. The standard MET-value for exercises on a small Trampoline is 3.5, that scientists use to count how many Calories someone burns based ontheir weight and time of the session.
