1. Knee lifts

This exercise is easy to understand and helps not only burn calories but also improve balance.

To perform it, simply lift one knee toward your chest, and as the leg you lifted returns to the starting position, the other knee is already rising.

Then just repeat this movement as many times as you can.

2. Jump squats

The squat is considered one of the most comprehensive exercises there is, as it works various parts of the body, such as the glutes, legs, abs, and back.

When performed with a jump, they help increase explosive strength, muscle power, and the strength of tendons and ligaments.

3. Running

To perform this exercise, simply move your legs and the rest of your body as if you were running on a treadmill at a fast, consistent pace.

Both this exercise and the others listed can be performed using the Tabata method to increase calorie burn, build lean muscle mass, and improve anaerobic and aerobic capacity.

4. Jumping rope

Contrary to what the name suggests, if you don’t have a rope, that’s no problem—you can still do this exercise.

You just need to imagine one and perform the jumping motion. This exercise is great for warming up your muscles.

5. Jumping Jacks

Jumping jacks are a very common exercise and can also be done on a mini trampoline.

Jumping jacks have the advantage of improving motor coordination.

To perform this exercise, stand up straight, extend your arms alongside your body, and keep your legs together.

Then, jump in place so that when you spread your legs after the jump, your arms follow the movement, raising above your head where your palms should touch each other.

These are 5 of the many exercises you can do on a mini trampoline.

Still, there are countless online classes for every taste that you can follow!

So now you know: with a mini trampoline, fun is guaranteed, and it also offers a host of benefits.

Get your spine ready, put on your favorite playlist, and make the most of your time!
