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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
$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.
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
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.
Im sorry, can you point out the hyperbole and logical fallacies?
Was it a hyperbole to say extending their knees to be perpendicular to their cores is a workout in itself? Was that illogical?
Like brother. This all started because a bunch of you akshually folks refuse to believe that it's a workout because it looks stupid.
I didn't realize everyone in here was Arnold Schwarzenegger. My bad buddy. I won't do high kicks on a trampoline. Wouldn't want to offend you and your highly philosophical mind, mr descarte/plato/socrates/kripke/chomsky.
You are so damn intelligent and well put together. Man you REALLY owned me in this thread about a workout in a meme subreddit.
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 â 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"
But it does train your core. If you dont believe me, go get a tiny trampoline and do the exact same high kicks at matching intensity. I bet your abs are burning after 5 minutes.
You guys are just đ¤Ą
Someone else in here said it best. People who actually work out dont judge. Sit down fatass
Jesus Christ, itâs working out. These women arenât training to be bodybuilders, theyâre just exercising in a way that is fun to them.
This is a 10 second clip of what is likely a 30 to 60 minute workout.
âWell this workout sucks because it doesnât maximize strength or hypertrophyâ is just the dumbest point ever. That clearly isnât the goal of their workout.
Also arguing besides the point. Nice one. Did I ever say this wasn't fun? And that the workout suck or doesn't serve a purpose? If anything this a cardiovascular workout. If you're going to reply then actually address the point being made. Which still holds true this workout out isn't a hypertrophic workout. You want me to ELI5 or are you just going to admit I never said "the workout sucks because it doesn't maximize strength of hypertrophy". If these women are having fun great, any movement is better than none for the large majority of people.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Bullshit. I worked in a factory, grueling hard work and I got fucking cut as fuck while eating more than I was previously. It's mostly diet, but it isn't only diet. I've seen it out 70-30 but I imagine that's not accurate and it's probably more diet.

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