What are some examples of trampoline exercises?

1. Standard jumping:

Start out simple to find your comfort level with your trampoline fitness routine. Simply jumping on a trampoline is already a great workout for your core and other parts of your lower body. Begin by imitating a jumping behavior without actually lifting up from the mat. Then continue to increase intensity.trampoline exercises.



2. Twisting your core:


Once you’ve done the simple jump you can switch to rotating your core mid-jump. By twisting your core during side to side while jumping works out your abdominal muscles and lats.
3. Running in place:

This could be done on a rebounder or full size trampoline exercises. For a bit of variety, you can try adding knee slaps or alternating between jumping and running.

4. Jumping jacks:

Probably best suited for full size trampolines due to the lack of space on minis. I say this because it takes some time to build up confidence in order to do what’s pictured above.

5. Tricks:

Best suited for full size trampolines. Once you’ve become accustomed to your comfort level on a trampoline, you can begin to test out new tricks to see how far you can take it.

6. Side to Side hopping:

Best suited for rebounders as you can pick up more speed and have a more intense cardio workout. Instead of jumping on the same spot, jump from left to right on the trampoline to give your core a great workout. The picture above shows a variation of the exercise in which you actually jump off the side of the trampoline and then jump back onto it.

7. Weighted arm exercises:


Best for rebounders: Combine jumping or running in place with low weight dumbbells to include more of your upper body into your routine. You can also combine a multitude of dumbbell exercises to increase your upper body workout.



8. Seat Drops:

Best meant for a full size trampoline. As you jump into the air, act as though you will sit down on the trampoline exercises. As you hit the mat and bounce back up, straighten out your legs and continue to bounce back and forth between seated and standing positions.
