9 Surprising Trampoline Health Benefits You Won’t Believe
Trampoline Health Benefits You Won’t Believe
If you have ever jumped on a trampoline, you’ll know how much fun it is. But, one thing you may have never considered is how many health benefits that bouncing on it can have.
One of the best feelings is that perception of weightlessness when you’re at the top of your jump. But, did you know that on the way down, you are experiencing great gravitational force? Trampoline jumping is not only fun but, it will help you become more active and in essence, healthier all around.
For us, adding a Springfree trampoline has been life-changing. Not only do our girls love playing outside more but, Darasak and I have been getting in and taking turns jumping towards health. Read on to discover all of the trampoline health benefits you would not believe!
1. It’s a Fun Workout
Sometimes, working out and getting active can be a chore. I find that with a trampoline you’ll be having so much fun that you may not realize the workout you’re getting.
With the Springfree trampoline, you can add the tgoma system to help you set your goals and achieve them with the tgomaFit game. The game will let you exercise with a professional trampoline coach.
You can choose to try 26 different exercises and watch your live calorie burn. Who needs a gym when you have a trampoline?
Plus, when you can get the whole family taking a turn, you’re getting active together and there’s nothing better than that!
2. Incredibly Efficient Workout
Did you know that a 10-minute jump on a Springfree Trampoline is equivalent to a 30-minute run? According to a study completed by NASA, this means jumping is 68% more efficient than running.
3. Ups Your Cardiovascular Fitness
Being heart-healthy is incredibly important. Since jumping on a trampoline is a moderate-to-high level aerobic workout, it gets your heart pumping.
When you increase your heart rate, it increases blood circulation and you improve your heart health. Plus, you do it in less time, all while bouncing!
4. Helps to Strengthen Your Legs
While everyone is different, you may notice significant increases in both leg power and leg strength. After all, you are bouncing up and down and using the power of your legs and core.
It’s no wonder that gymnastics coaches often add trampoline exercising to their athletes routine.
5. It’s Low Impact
Jumping on a trampoline is a low impact exercise. A jumper’s vertical acceleration and deceleration are absorbed by the trampoline mat, taking up 80% of the shock.
It is a great option for seniors, physically-challenged, and those recuperating from accidents or injuries.
Even if you’ve been taking it easy and being sedentary, it’s a great way to get back in the game towards fitness.
6. Builds Stronger Bones
Just by doing the repetitive action of jumping up and down on the trampoline can improve overall bone mineral content and builds the musculoskeletal system.
Each landing from a jump is double the force of gravity, which develops muscle strength over time and prevents bone diseases such as osteoporosis.
Since the trampoline pad is bouncy and absorbs a large amount of the impact of your landing, your bones and joints are protected and strengthened at the same time. Now, that is pretty awesome!
7. It’s a Feel Good Activity
Our mental health is just as important as our physical health. Perhaps, some may argue that it is THE most important to be healthy. Did you know that jumping on a trampoline makes you feel happy, positive and self-confident?
For me, I even feel a bit nostalgic about the worry-free days of being a kid.
But, trampolining produces endorphins, the positive mood-enhancing chemicals released during exercise.
So, that alone is enough to make you feel happy! Personally, I feel even happier knowing that I’m on a Springfree trampoline, one of the most ultra-safe trampolines in the world!
8. It Improves Lymphatic Drainage and Detoxifies
We are constantly bombarded by toxins and sometimes, they make us feel a bit sluggish. Bouncing on a trampoline stimulates the free-flowing lymphatic drainage system.
This helps your body to flush out toxins, trapped protein, bacteria, viruses and other cell waste.
The acceleration, deceleration, and gravity of jumping on a trampoline create the ideal conditions for cleansing waste materials from our cells. How about that?
I’m down with detoxifying while having fun!
9. Improves Your Lung Capacity
The folks at NASA are incredibly smart but, of course, we knew that! During one of their studies about jumping, they discovered that oxygen is the most vital nutrient for the human body.
Jumping helps your body circulate oxygen and increases your energy.
When your body is highly oxygenated, it makes it more immune to disease germs and rogue cells. They are anaerobic, meaning they cannot survive in a highly oxygenated environment. Pretty cool!
Start Jumping
So while I am sure you all know that jumping on a trampoline is fun, now you know how many health benefits it can actually have for your body. Body and mind! Plus, it is so simple that it is a great activity for all ages. It is definitely a fun way to get active and Springfree has all different sizes!
If you’re still thinking of getting a Springfree trampoline and exercising on one, check out how we stay active on it and how we enjoyed summer with it. We are looking forward to enjoying it for many years!

I was discussing with my son the other day how I want a trampoline at home but we do not have any yard or enough space in our porch area. There sure are so many benefits of trampoline for both kids and adults. Loved your post.
Thanks so much!
Every one of your reasons to do trampoline workouts is so true! I should really consider getting one. I think I would “work out” more if I had one!
Thanks Joely! Yes, so many great reasons to work out on one.
These are great! I am not a huge trampoline fan myself, but I never thought of these benefits.
So many of them!
I love the idea of health benefits from something so fun! I need to get out on the trampoline more often, sure beats being bored on the treadmill
Yes, so much more fun!
You can’t see my excitement right now, but its there. I can enjoy the trampoline as usal, and its good for my health? I so love reading this. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Yes, yes it is! No problem, I am glad you are happy reading this!
I definitely can see the benefits to jumping on a trampoline and think it makes for a super fun cardio workout too. We visit a fun trampoline park on occasion, but I sure wish our backyard was large enough to accommodate our own.
That is great you still go to jump though!
I love jumping on a trampoline. Give me some great music and I jump for a long time.
And you are getting your work out on!
Yes, this is SO true. We have one and my daughter wants me to bounce on it with her often. It does give you a work out! I get tired after 5 minutes.
It is so much fun. Laughing and giggling too!
Getting a trampoline definitely isn’t just for fun! It has everything you need for a good exercise and I totally recommend it! These are good health benefits to take advantage of!
Yes, so many of them. It is amazing!
When my daughters were growing up they had a huge trampoline. I really enjoyed getting in there and jumping to my heart’s content. It’s a fantastic exercise tool!
It really is!
They are a lot of fun and safe when used correctly.
Yes, this one is particularly safe–so it is definitely fun.
Fun & fitness, combined! Got to take this one seriously! hanks for the tips! 🙂
Yes, the best of both worlds like my daughter says.
It improves lymphatic drainage?! I had no idea! That’s fantastic! Thanks for sharing this! Now when my husband asks what I’m doing I can tell him I’m improving my health LOL
Yes! It is amazing.
I used to love trampolining, it was such a fun thing to do – sadly I can’t anymore but it is something I would love to get back into one day.
I hope you can again soon!
i agree 100% i do trampoline aerobics weekly and it makes my fitbit very happy and even it is just for an hour!
I am going to add more time to my jumping!
When being healthy can also be fun that is when you have a winner! Especially with kids! Now days keeping them active can be challenging with all the tech gadgets. These are great alternative!
Yes, you are so right. When exercise is fun, it does not feel like exercise!
I didn;t even know some of these benefits you during trampoline, great info. Maybe I should buy a small trampoline for my kid to play in the future and not only it’s healthy for the child, they are going to have fun too.
Yes, even a small one can do wonders and you are right, it is so much fun!
My family loves to jump on the Trampoline as often as they can! I really didn’t know all the great benefits that using one had though!
Yes, so many surprising benefits, eh?
My grand niece and nephew just love their trampoline. They spend hours on it every summer. Good to know it’s so good for them.
Yes, it has so many great benefits!
That looks like a very nice trampoline. I have one at my house as well. My daughters use theirs all the time. They love it.
It is such a great activity!
Seriously, my son would freak out if we got a trampoline!! He’s been asking for one for MONTHS! lol
Awww, maybe it is time!
These are interesting ideas for a workout. However, I am not a fan of trampolines. I’ve seen too many injuries in my own kids and my brother’s kids to ever have another one.
Aww, that is a shame. Luckily, the Springfree is one of the safest on the market. No springs for injuries and a great net to help. 🙂
Exercising on a trampoline? How cool that is! So far I’ve only considered the trampoline as a form of relaxation but this has changed my mind. Having fun and keeping fit at the same time is such an amazing idea!
You can do both now!
Until my back surgery, I used to enjoy jumping on our trampoline. It was a great way to get the kids to exercise as well as myself while having a great time.
It really is.
I have loved having a Trampoline and despite the risks that are valid, all your points are true too! Plus it gets kids outside into the sun, they love it, and it helps them get a workout without even knowing it!
Yes, it is such an amazing activity.
Yes, it is such an amazing activity to do.
Oh I didn’t know that trampoline can bring us those huge health benefits. My house has a big yard so that I can have trampoline for my own. Thanks for your sharing those useful information.
My pleasure, thanks for taking a read.
I did not know that jumping up and down on a trampoline could give you so much health benefits! Maybe I could do that despite my age since it is low impact. Oh my. That will make me feel like a little girl again.
Yes, it is great since it is low-impact.
I have never considered exercising on a trampoline until now – after reading all these health benefits that you’ve mentioned. Thank you.
Aww, that is awesome. It really is not only fun but, so good for you.
I wish that I still had our trampoline. When I moved from NC to TX, I didn’t have a place to set it up since we lived in an apartment for several years. I had no clue that jumping on a trampoline was low impact.
Yes, it is so amazing. If I had not researched it, I would have never believed it.
I know trampolines are a great workout because I’m absolutely exhausted after using them! I would love to get one for our home.
Yes, they are so fun and beneficial.
Okay I think this is like the best post!! Health benefits for jumping on a trampoline I am all in for that one!!

Ohh these are some great benefits that you have enlisted. I couldnt have thought of so many of them. Thanks for this insightful post.
My pleasure!
This is great! Trampolines seriously get the heart pumping and body working.
Yes, so good!
I never really thought to use the trampoline like this for myself. There are so many benefits for sure!
Yes, for sure!
This is so cool! Now I just need a trampoline in my house. It looks like so much fun! And even better when it also has health benefits.
Yes, so many of them!
I remember I use to play on the trampoline for hours when I was a kid. Now I can only get on for 15 minutes and I feel like I’m out of energy. haha!
But, it is a good thing! You got a lot of benefits just from the 15 minutes.
This lists of benefits of jumping on a trampoline makes me want to try it. Sadly I don’t have one. Will have to check out some area that offers this.
Awesome, good luck.
Wow i didnt consider it a low impact workout. It makes sense tho! It’s so fun
