10 Quick & Easy Trampoline Exercises!

Did you know just 10 minutes a day can go a long way towards achieving your fitness goals? Trampolines provide an awesome (and fun) workout – just 10 minutes of active jumping is the cardio equivalent of a 30 minute jog! Woohoo! 

So take a small part out of your day and get fit in the comfort of your own backyard! 

Here are 10 very simple moves which will help you get toned and fit in less than 30 minutes a day! We recommend adding in light jumping for 30-60 seconds at the start and end of your workout for warm up and cool down, and doing each move for around 30-60 seconds. And of course, when your fitness levels increase, you can slowly add more time to each move! 

1. Straight Jump 

  1. Starting point: stand straight with your feet on the trampoline and your arms raised straight above your head.
  2. Mid move: jump up in the air, holding a straight body position with your arms raised.
  3. Landing: land standing with your body straight and arms raised above your head.

2. Star Jump 

  1. Starting point: stand straight with your feet on the trampoline and your arms at your sides.
  2. Mid move: jump in the air, getting enough height to create a star position at the top of your bounce.
