Abstract: An exercise apparatus including a minitrampoline, a frame, a first pole, a second pole, a first hydraulic shock, and a second hydraulic shock. The frame supports the minitrampoline above a floor. The first and second poles have handles, and are pivotally mounted to the frame. The first and second hydraulic shocks are pivotally connected to the frame and are clamped to the first and second poles, respectively. The frame may connect to a wall for stabilizing the exercise apparatus. A person exercises on the minitrampoline while holding onto the handles, with the first and second hydraulic shocks absorbing energy imparted by the person through the first and second poles.
