As fitness trends evolve, trampoline workouts, also known as rebounding, are gaining popularity for being fun, effective, and easy on the joints. These low-impact exercises offer excellent cardiovascular benefits, muscle strengthening, improved balance, and mental health boosts, making them an attractive option for many fitness enthusiasts.
“Trampoline workouts are an engaging way to stay active, offering high-calorie burn with less strain on the joints compared to running,” says Aarushi Pasrija, a fitness coach. They are also beneficial for improving lymphatic drainage and bone density.
However, experts advise caution, especially for beginners. Dr. Yugal Karkhur from Narayana Hospital explains that improper form or overexertion can lead to injuries, such as sprains and strains. To prevent this, fitness experts recommend starting with a sturdy trampoline equipped with a stability bar and focusing on slow, controlled movements before progressing to more advanced exercises.
While trampoline workouts are beneficial for most, individuals with balance issues, serious joint conditions, or osteoporosis should avoid them. Elderly participants should use mini-trampolines with handrails under professional supervision.
Trampoline workouts are a growing fitness trend that combines fun with health benefits, but safety should always come first.
