here goes. I found this on line and saw that many had asked the question for to determine how many caloires you burn using rebounder
so here it is
take your weight x.0643=..... take that number and X number of minutes and that is the calories you have burned.
I found it on a website called everything rbounding. and the website said that it is fairly accurate to the HRM calculations.
So I hope this helps everyone who owns one like I do and am reintroducing myself to it. The site also gives suggestions on what you can do to as far as weightsand exercise moves on it. Go check it out.

    I think your calculations are off somewhere.
    Here is the breakdown.

    200 x .0643 = 12.86
    12.86 x 15 minutes = 192.9

    I'm wondering if you used .643 instead of .0643?

    In the early 80's, I bought a "mini tramp", as they called it in those days. I used it a few times, but never got the hang of it. I think I gave it away to a friend. I bought a high quality "rebounder" about nine years ago. I set it up and tried it a couple of times, but again, never got into it. I put it in the corner and walk by it every day. Thanks to My Fitness Pal being fun and easy to use, I joined three days ago and decided to start changing my weight and health for the better. This morning, I walked by my rebounder and actually got on it and jumped for five minutes. Five minutes of it actually seemed like a long time, but I plan to build up to longer intervals and incorporate it into my daily routine. I realize that it is exactly what I need to improve my health. I found some sites that helped with the calorie calculations. All vary, so who really knows which is the most accurate. I guess take an average and go from there.

    I couldn't find that website but I like this calculation
    Better because it says I burned more than a
    Couple of other sites say in their charts.
    Seems like I burn as much as light jogging at least
    And the other charts say its much less.
    Of course I'm trying to be honest but I want all the
    'Bang for my burn'

    Thanks for posting these terrific links. I have a rebounder gathering dust in the corner, and now is a great time to pull it out and make use of it in my home workouts!

    and these two articles about the benefits of rebounding along with a charts for calories burned.

    Thanks so much for posting this. I just ordered a Rebounder. I can't wait. I have been unable to do any real exercise all winter. I'm someone who prefers the outdoors on my bike. This is something I can do while watching the news or my favorite tv show or listening to my iPod. :)

    Your number seems high.

    One thing they taught me in cardio rehab was that the level of exercise should be measured by how hard you are working on a scale of one to six, with three to four being optimal. Number six is out of breath or high heart rate. So measuring just by speed of exercising is a little misleading.

    A good website to estimate calories burned is this one: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc

    If you can't find the exercise you were doing you can substitute for a similar one. Results should be close enough. Example, I use low step aerobics for rebounding calculations.

    I'm new to Fitness pal, and I appreciate knowing how many calories I burn working on my rebounder. Had no clue.

    Wow! My calculations varied wildly from site to site of those suggested - from 123 to 2971! An average of the three was 200 calories for 20 minutes at my weight. Hmmm...what to do, what to do?

    I use Low Impact Aerobics for 30 minutes of rebounding. Says I burn 237 calories - sounds about right to me.

    I love my rebounder. Purchased mine in Hawaii in 2001 at a Tony Robins Event. Couldn't use for years because I weighted 425 lbs. When I finally went under 300 I began using it. I just weighted in at 256 since Jan 10.

    For the most accurate results, use a foot-based powermeter. This one is about 500 bucks, which is actually reasonable for power meters.

    Other options include getting the Tickr X heart rate strap to grab a variety of 3D stats as well as personalized HR zones.

    I can't see how .0643 can account for every workout from light bouncing to sprint/high-jumping running on it. And none of this has any meaning if you drag an old one out of the attic. You need a quality one, especially for safety when doing high intensity running and jumping. Some people need a soft surface to run due to joint and spinal problems. (That nonsense about "curing cancer" is ridiculous. You need this for your feet, legs and back.) And it's more fun.

    Other options include the RPE scale. That's so subjective that I think one should manually add your true max HR to your app so that it *closely matches the tests for RPE.* That way, you just put on the HR strap, push a button and go.

    Get a good one. It may run you a couple hundred dollars or more, but you'll have a safe and excellent workout. I recommend you use a guardrail and put a secure band around your waist to build balance safely.

    Best,
    Robin
    P.S. -- On YouTube, you'll find people jumping rope on a rebounder. Unless you've thoroughly mastered jump roping, please don't do that. One mistake and you've got broken bones. Also, only do reasonable calisthenics on a rebounder. Don't press your luck with playful or imprudent movements. Thanks.

    Sorry. I left out the link to this unusual type of power meter. Since rebounding is human-powered, the power meter SHOULD be on your body. There are several options, but this seems quite interesting. The Tickr X and Tickr Run also has 3D data but I have not been successful on the rebounder with them. So I just use an HR strap for HR. Perhaps it's the firmware, which changed recently.
