As a fitness journalist, I’m always up for experimenting with new ways to move, especially when life throws curveballs. Recently, that curveball came in the shape of the summer holidays. With two kids at home and my regular solo runs off the table, I started searching for an at-home workout I could squeeze in without guilt-tripping myself for skipping the miles (or my kids).
That’s when I stumbled across a NASA-led study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, which found that just 10 minutes of “rebounding” per day was up to 68% more effective than 30 minutes of jogging. I’d seen rebounding pop up on my social media feeds; it looked fun, so I decided to give it a go and swap my usual daily run for a rebounding workout on a mini trampoline.
