Described as an incredibly effective calorie burner, jumping may just be the catalyst you need for weight loss.

Did you know you can get fit and lose weight simply by jumping? Yes, you read that right – Jumping Fitness has prepared a comprehensive fitness curriculum that revolves solely around jumping (or more specifically, aerobic rebounding) on a mini trampoline. With an emphasis on intensive intervals, electrifying tempos and challenging routines, this fitness routine will leave you sweating for more. 

This aerobic rebounding workout is said to be at least three times more effective than jogging. It also strengthens your core muscles, boosts your endurance and most importantly, burns fat. 

Always keep these jumping safety tips in mind:

  1. Stand in the middle of the trampoline
  2. Land on your whole foot
  3. Keep your knees slightly bent and flexed
  4. Pull your belly button in, bracing the core
  5. Lean your upper body forward

Aerobic rebounding has subtle nuances that are often overlooked, yet crucial to a proper workout routine. At Jumping Fitness, you’ll learn the key essentials of jumping gymnastics on a trampoline, while learning bouncing techniques such as Tip Toe, Heel and Pulse. Watch the video to see these moves in action, as shown by our instructor, Fiona!

Technique 1: Basic Bounce

  • Stand with feet shoulder width apart
  • Bounce 2 to 3 inches above the trampoline
  • Keep your feet flat

Technique 2: Tip Toe

  • Keep your feet together
  • Lift one heel up and push the other heel down
  • Alternate your feet

Technique 3: Heel
