How do I log jumping on a trampoline?

st476

I'm taking my brother to Sky Zone tomorrow (an indoor trampoline park type place) for an hour, so that would be maybe 45 minutes of jumping. How do I log that? Or does anyone know roughly how many calories it would burn? I'm 5'4 and 128 pounds

Edit: I just used some calculator I found online and it says jumping on a trampoline burns 150 calories/hour for someone my height, weight and age. Does that sound accurate? I thought it would be more than that.

Do you mean a little rebounder or a large trampoline where you have time to do front flips?

There's no way to get an accurate estimation of your calorie burn without a heart rate monitor to gauge your exertion level. If you try, you'll probably end up massively overestimating.

In all honesty, I wouldn't log something like that. I don't log everything I do, I only log purposeful exercise that is done to enhance my fitness level. So if I work out/exercise/run as a physical activity for my health, then I log it because I want to track my activity, not for the calorie burn. If I take the dog for a walk, I don't log that because that's just me living my life, part of my TDEE, not planned exercise for my fitness/strength goals. Does that make sense?

To each their own, but I find you're better off focusing on calories in/calories out than tracking extracurricular activities like that. Just my $0.02. I'd just go and have fun, don't worry about the calories.

It's basically multiple rooms where the entire floor is made from trampoline haha

I did that yesterday at my DD's birthday party. I didn't count it. Fun stuff like that to me is just "extra credit".

The have fitness classes at skyzone and advertise 1000 cal hour...I want to try one but I'm scared lol

I am going tomorrow for the purpose of some exercise..I don't have a hr so I don't know. I know it's hard work but don't know how to count it...I don't eat my exercise cal so as long as I'm working my hardest I'm happy.

I would use my Fitbit but I can't find the charger so I can't. I don't do much exercise except walking so that's why I wanted to log it. I like my net calories for the week to be as accurate as possible because I don't have much left to lose haha. It makes sense not to log the small things for someone who works out a lot and/or isn't really focused on losing weight as much as working on their fitness, but it doesn't really make much sense for someone like me. But I'll probably just go with 100 calories

I'm sure at the fitness classes they're doing a lot more than just jumping in order to burn 1000 an hour haha but that sounds intense! Good luck

I'm not sure, but that sounds like so much fun! Wish we had something like that where I'm from!

SkyZone. So all the flips. Or dodgeball.

Can definitely be some decent calorie burns. Or can be barely any at all. Depends on the intensity.

That sounds so fun! I understand what you mean about wanting to be accurate with recording calories burned. I would look up some estimates, average them, and then log 75% of whatever the average comes out to be. That way you get credit for it but you're less likely to overestimate the burn. But whatever you do, have fun!!

I don't log it when there as I don't exercise or any activity for weight change.

I looked this up as well after going to Sky Zone! I made my own exercise. 1 hour = 100 calories. I pulled data off of SparkPeople for this activity. But I did divide it by 2, so I believe SparkPeople would say 1 hour = 200 calories. That was at a weight of 138 lb though. So check out this link:

http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned.asp?exercise=136

I took the result and divided by 2.
