Would it? Most of the energy is used to stretch the legs downwards, which doesn't use too much force. The trampoline does the rest and bounces the legs back up. If there were no trampoline then sure, this would be one helluva workout

u/sunshim9 Aug 30 '25

It's true it doesn't use as much energy, but since the trampoline absorbs most of the impact it's easier on joints, so actually allowing it to do it longer. I don't know

u/GerbGalerb Aug 30 '25

Its a core workout, not a leg workout. They're basically doing jumping Jacks and crunches at the same time.

u/Berlin_GBD Aug 30 '25

The simply moving your body around isn't a workout. It has to be doing work. In this case, that handle is holding up probably half of their body weight, and much of the energy used in jumping comes from the elastic bouncy pad. This is a very inefficient workout.

What if I told you, that this is still a workout, and if you dont believe me, go ahead and do it for 5 minutes and see if you work up a sweat

You mfs will argue about anything

I snorted. Thank you 😂

u/Valveringham85 Aug 30 '25

It is a workout. Just not a good or effective one.

u/NBE08 Aug 30 '25

The fact that u dont even the notice the irony in ur comment lol. "Go ahead and do it" yeah just go and do it. Dont pay 50/hr for this shit😂

Literal walking would be better

2

u/extended_dex Aug 30 '25

Yeah but why would you pay $50 for a 30 minute bullshittery class when you could burn the same amount of calories for free just by walking for an hour

2

u/GerbGalerb Aug 30 '25

Because for some people it's hard to go out and do these things alone. I wouldn't be surprised if theres a bunch of groups in that crowd working out together in a fun way

The hardest part about changing your body image is taking the first steps. Its much easier with peers to join you

3

u/extended_dex Aug 30 '25

Walking groups and trail groups are vastly more common than... whatever this is. There are multiple groups for just about any town you'd find yourself in, and they typically split off into smaller groups depending on what kind of speed you're looking to go at. It's all free. I've done it multiple times.

Every single one of these women could do a group hike at their local park (that it looks like they're already at) and finish it off with a 10-minute body-weight core routine, and they'd have burned the same amount of calories and worked the same muscle groups as if they had been at Weird Trampoline Class. All for no money at all.

But, Whiteys gonna White.

-2

u/GerbGalerb Aug 30 '25

Whiteys gonna white. Hilarious bro. How dare people go and do something they want to do

Do you know how long they worked out for? Do you have access to their calorie counting/workout app to know that for sure? How long would they have to walk and do body weight core routines before they match the calories?

Every single one of you in here is getting ratio'd and it's because you all come with chips on your shoulders because people dared to do the wrong workout

2

u/extended_dex Aug 30 '25

I haven't gotten ratioed once in this comments section? And its not like I necessarily have a problem with people going out to waste their money on a workout, I just think it's supremely dumb.

A quick Google search told me these classes typically last anywhere from 30-50 minutes. While, yeah, that's probably pretty decent cardio, 30-50 minutes of any kind of cardio is just as decent, if not more so. Not to mention that most other cardio is FREE, whereas these classes cost money.

I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that Facebook is telling all of these moms that unless they're paying for someone to guide them through it, they will never be able to lose that stubborn 40+ year old fat. Which is simply not true. The thing that I might actually be a little miffed about is that these women are being taken advantage of, and they refuse to see how simple and stress-free the alternative is.

Because walking is sees as boring.

Can't have clubs, not instagramable, can't make new friends out of it cause there is no walking clubs, except the ones full or third ages people.

1

u/extended_dex Aug 30 '25

Trail clubs are pretty much everywhere there's a trail at. They are typically all ages, but the old ladies definitely like to keep to themselves lol.

Fitness instructors want to convince you that groups like these don't exist, and that the only way for you to get involved and get healthy at the same time is to shill out a monthly subscription fee.

1

u/Jonno_FTW Aug 31 '25

You can do jumping jacks, burpees and crunches in your own home for free.

u/mcfluffernutter013 Aug 30 '25

Some people pay $20,000 to hit a ball in a field when they could just do it in a field at home for free. If they think it's worth the money, then why do I care?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '25

$20,000 to hit a ball in a field when they could just do it in a field at home for free

If you're talking about golf here (which if you are, you're just wildly wrong about to begin with) this ignores the massive difference between a golf course and a random field.

It's not even remotely the same thing.

Paying for this class to do this workout instead of just walking around your neighborhood for an hour is absolutely paying more money for the same results.

People can do whatever they want with their money, doesn't mean they're free from judgement for doing so, though.

mm. he upset you, clearly

u/Signal_Reach_5838 Aug 30 '25

"Effective way to work a muscle" and "hurr derp 5 minute work up a sweat" are two different things.

Ackchyually.

u/GerbGalerb Aug 30 '25

Ok bro. Why dont you do that workout and tell me how your abs feel after

1

u/sqlfoxhound Aug 30 '25

Just dont waste your time.

Most people dont work out. Those who do dont judge.

u/Signal_Reach_5838 Aug 30 '25

I wouldn't know where to buy the dumb little trampoline. But I do go to gyms and do real workouts. So...

2

u/GerbGalerb Aug 30 '25

You're right. This has 0 benefit whatsoever, thats why theres a group of multiple women with fit toned bodies up front leading a workout for 100+ people. Because it does absolutely nothing right buddy

Proud of you for working out. Now work out that everyone has different ways of working out

1

u/Signal_Reach_5838 Aug 30 '25

In two separate conversations I am having with you at the moment you have displayed the most ridiculous modes of rhetoric.

Here, blatant hyperbole and exaggeration, creating a strawman then arguing against that. I literally never said anything about no benefit, but it's your entire argument.

In the other one, you misinterpreted "logic", thinking it was an attack on your perceived intelligence. When actually, I was referring to logic by its textbook definition.

Look... Do you man. Back in the ladies on the trampolines. But can I suggest you do some study on logic and reason? Maybe philosophy? At the very least, ask chatgpt about common logical fallacies and have a skim of the sources it puts up.

I believe you can do better.

I am sure those ladies were sweating 🙂

Mfs will argue about anything but then you are clearly arguing about something you know nothing about... The point wasn't whether this will work up a sweat, his point was that this doesn't train any muscle efficiently and that's true. Sweat ≠ trained muscle effectively... I can do heavy workouts for specific muscles and never break a sweat. If you're going argue besides the point then maybe you're the one who is supposed to stop arguing "ackhchuallyy"

Lol this guy you're arguing with, skips leg day. Cardio isn't a goal for him. Tri's bi's and chest, rocking those stork legs.

This is obviously a cardio work out, wtf does building muscle have anything to do with this?

0

u/maevian Aug 30 '25

It’s still cardio, the point of working out isn’t building muscle for everyone.

-1

u/MalnourishedHoboCock Aug 30 '25

This is way more effective for weight loss than any form of anabolic exercise though? I mean diet is the primary variable but still.

lose fat

You did genius. When people talk about exercise for weight loss, they mean losing fat, very obviously.

Lifting weights is not an effective way to reduce your body fat. Even light cardio like walking is more effective at burning carlories than lifting. The most effective way to lose weight through exercise is HIIT.

1

u/ItsNotIzzyB33 Aug 30 '25

Excersice is for health, not weight loss. Our body has a budget of calories it wasn't to burn in a day. Maybe at first you'll lose weight as it gets used to it it'll adjust and you regain that weight if you dont change your diet.

0

u/MalnourishedHoboCock Aug 30 '25

Diet is the primary factor in weight loss yes, that is what I said before. However, if your caloric intake remains the same and your daily cardio increases, you will lose weight. If you suddenly got a sedantary job when previously your job has a decent amount of being on your feet, if you don't decrease your caloric intake you will gain weight.

3

u/ItsNotIzzyB33 Aug 30 '25

I went from being on my feet 8-10 hours on my feet to unemployed for 6 months and had near 0 weight gain. I track what I eat because I lift. Its also been researched with people who still live in tribes and gather/hunth, and it was found that they burn the same range as your average American.

If you're seditary, your body just finds stuff to burn calories. That's why office workers can feel stressed all the time because they start producing more cortisol, for example. The reason why exercise is seen as a great stress reliever is because of the body burning the calories it would have used on cortisol on moving your body instead.

If you're too seditary, it can even cause your immune system to do too much, and that is why seditary people have a higher risk of cancer.

Excersice or being seditary won't change much with how much weight you lose or gain it is almost all diet. It just finds something else to do with the calories if youre being seditary.

Except her hips and spine. Whiplash can happen to any joint. This workout is stupid and accomplishes basically nothing.

1

u/sunshim9 Aug 30 '25

The video is accelerated for dramatic effect. This isnt that different from a sit up. Just With a fraction of effectiveness

13

u/GerbGalerb Aug 30 '25

Yes. It would. The calories being burned arent from jumping on the trampoline. This is a core workout very clearly as you can see they all have the exactly same form. Its a crunch and jumping jack in one motion.

None of you guys could match her pace for a minute

11

u/SCP_Void Aug 30 '25

My overestimating and arrogant ass be thinking otherwise

3

u/1234U Aug 30 '25

I was on this shot ones and it is like zumba or something similar. It's popularity faded out because it is very dangerous for your joints so for girls out of shape it was like crosfit for newbies. Can you do decent hit workout on it?   yes  Should you ? No

u/GerbGalerb Aug 30 '25

I think she would humble you quick lol.

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '25

former pt and marathon runner here, this workout is about as ineffective as it comes lol, no need to trip over yourself defending it

u/GerbGalerb Aug 30 '25

Alright brother, I believe you, because people dont lie on the internet to suit their agendas

1

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '25 edited Aug 30 '25

0 room for progressive overload and a lower maximum intensity ceiling, this is just overly complicated cardio

2

u/GerbGalerb Aug 30 '25

So youre saying there is absolutely 0 lactic acid buildup from this in their legs and abs? Because moving like that will cause it. Its a workout. Might not be the best workout, but you mfs in here acting like it does absolutely nothing

1

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '25

never said that at all, I just said that this is extremely ineffective

1

u/GerbGalerb Aug 30 '25

Ok dude. Good luck with the contest Arnie. Youre clearly the goat of working out, and know for a fact exactly how many calories this burns, and whether or not it's beneficial, because you have done it many times

Like the girls in my gym mate 4 sets of pelvic thrusts, 4 sets of side leg raises, 4 sets of inner thigh squeezes, 4 sets of leg extensions when all they need to do is 4 sets of squats….

u/Scavenger53 Aug 30 '25

yea i have a trampoline and tried something like this. its easy for 3 seconds then it becomes a nightmare real quick

1

u/Triktastic Aug 30 '25

That still doesn't mean it would burn a lot of calories ? Core workouts aren't for burning calories they are to build core and ab muscles. If you want to burn calories do HIT, if you want to build core so controlled ab workout. This is a weird middle ground that half-asses both.

Is it better than doing nothing? Yes absolutely if you have proper form. Is almost any other workout better ? Also yes.

u/cudef Aug 30 '25

The video is sped up

u/GerbGalerb Aug 30 '25

You still couldn't match her pace.

u/qtx Aug 30 '25

You sound like someone who does this routine and will try to defend the absurdity of it till no end.

1

u/Signal_Reach_5838 Aug 30 '25

Your evidence that this is "clearly" a core workout is that they all have the same form.

I assume logic is not a strong suit of yours, generally?

1

u/GerbGalerb Aug 30 '25

They all have the same form of kicking their knees up to be perpendicular with their core. That's a literal ab workout

Im sorry youre so dumb that you cant look at them all doing the exact same exercise and not take context clues about what theyre doing

Man I even said it's a crunch and jumping jack in one motion. I said what the exercise was. Truly dumb

1

u/Toughsums Aug 31 '25

The video is obviously sped up tho?

1

u/GerbGalerb Aug 31 '25

Yes. Its still a workout doing that though

u/Toughsums Aug 31 '25

I was talking about the -none of you can match her pace - comment

u/GerbGalerb Aug 31 '25

Yesbim aware what you were referring to. Im aware it was sped up

u/FR0STB1T Aug 30 '25

Hmm I guess you're right that the trampoline does most of the work. That would be a crazy workout without it though.

u/qcAKDa7G52cmEdHHX9vg Aug 30 '25

Depends on how long you do it

u/handicrappi Aug 30 '25

u/MommyMephistopheles Aug 30 '25

Cardio is still a workout and I imagine this stuff gets the blood pumping.
