Rebounding is More than Cardio
Rebounding is so much more than cardio. There’s a reason why household names like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Anniston, Tony Robbins, Goldie Hawn, Cindy Crawford, and Eva Longoria (ok, we’ll stop. The list is long!) all include rebounding as a cornerstone of their fitness routines.
So why do these celebrities with endless resources (but limited time) make rebounding a non-negotiable?
It’s simple: rebounding delivers both physical results and mental benefits more efficiently than any other exercise modality. And it’s joyful. As Michael Scott would say, it’s a “win-win-win.”
Fortunately, all of us can take a page from Gisele and Miranda Kerr’s planner and get these benefits by adding rebounding to our own routine.
Zone 2 Cardio
With a growing focus on longevity and healthspan, Zone 2 cardio has become one of the most talked-about fitness trends. This means maintaining moderate intensity (around 60–70% of your maximum heart rate — your fat-burning zone!). Experts recommend at least two hours of Zone 2 cardio per week to boost fat metabolism, strengthen cardiovascular health, and improve recovery and resilience.
With just three classes per week at Barre Groove, you’ll hit your Zone 2 cardio goals — and have fun doing it.
Full Body Toning + Tightening
Rebounding requires full-body engagement. Each bounce recruits muscles throughout your core, legs, and upper body. By incorporating targeted movements, you’ll tighten your tummy, strengthen your arms and legs, improve joint stability, challenge your balance, and enhance posture.
Support the Pelvic Floor
Rebounding’s ability to strengthen the pelvic floor is unparalleled. Even if you haven’t experienced childbirth, pelvic floor health is vital. Weakness in these muscles can lead to issues like prolapse and incontinence as we age, but rebounding helps prevent that by training the muscles to activate, contract, and relax properly.
Fights Fatigue, Anxiety and Depression
If you’ve heard of a runner’s high, meet rebounder’s joy. Rebounding delivers a rush of endorphins in a fraction of the time. With consistent practice, it can ease anxiety and depression, boost energy levels, and provide a natural, caffeine-free mood lift.
Rebounding isn’t just a workout, it’s a reset
It gets the aesthetic results you want, all while building strength, balance, confidence, and joy. Whether you’re chasing longevity, energy, or a little more happiness in your day, rebounding gives you the bounce back that your body and mind deserve.
