Trampolining

Hey, has anyone got any idea of how many calories you burn trampolining? I've just spent an hour at a trampoline park with my kids. Best I can find online is 8 calories per minute. Does this sound close, to much, not enough?

I was curious about this too,
Found this on google:
Calories Burned Trampolining. After jumping on a trampoline for 10 minutes, a 150-pound adult burns around 42 calories. A 30 minute workout burns 126 calories. The same 30 minute workout performed by a 200-pound individual burns 167 calories.1 -

Thank you
I saw that too but the guy at the trampoline park said it burns 3 times the amount as jogging I don't want to put too much/too little.... Urgh

The guy at the trampoline park is doing his job--promoting his business by feeding you BS.
The trampoline advocates rely on a NASA study that was done like 50 years ago to justify those claims. I have read the study--my memory is that it was mostly incomprehensible.
Most studies on trampolining--looking at jumping, running/marching in place, have shown a modest intensity--more like a brisk walk. You have to do a lot of vigorous limb movement to get to a decent level.
In the past couple of years, I have seen some videos that use a trampoline as part of an overall circuit-including jumping on an off the rebounder, squats, push-ups, etc. That's a different thing

I was playing dodgeball while bouncing, flips, airbag jumping etc... It was vigorous You're telling me I only burnt a little more than if I'd walked briskly for an hour? I'm not sure, as it's mainly a place for kids, that the guy was doing his job and feeding me Bull *kitten* 2 -
I found a calculator... 12 minutes, 72 calories. I'll go with that. Thanks 1

We always want to overestimate our exercise calories.3

it is under rebounding: 15 min is 79 calories.0

I have a trampoline and can vary the exercises so they are at 70-80% of my max heart rate. A few variations and I can burst higher for intervals. I'm sure a gymnast with better technique can do much more.0

Yeah, the park here has an hour long workout class they advertise that they claim burns 800+, I'm not buying it.0

It's a hard one because I was a super sweaty Betty after, my heart was off like the clappers and it felt like I'd done an hour on my Elliptical which would have been about 500 calories... Hmmm 0

Better to underestimate than overestimate though...
Sweating is not a good indication of burning calories.0 -

It is for me We're all different aren't we... I've underestimated to be safe. Thanks 1 -

I don't think it does to be honest. In jogging you need to jump up without the support of some elastic ground, while a trampoline supports you with achieving this. It's just a gut feeling though. I would be very caucious there.0 -

Oh I was cautious... It's not going to be a thing I do alot although I wouldn't mind doing a fitness class on them. It was fun 0
