Why Rebounding Became My Favorite Form of Cardio (and Why You Might Love It Too)
I used to love going to OrangeTheory Fitness—it was my go-to cardio for a long time. But when it became too expensive to continue, I found myself looking for something new that felt just as good on my body and sustainable through the seasons.
That’s when I discovered rebounding—also known as mini-trampoline workouts. What started as a way to support my lymphatic system and detox pathways has now become my primary source of cardio—and one of my favorite self-care habits.
In this article, I’ll share some of the science behind rebounding, why it’s such a unique form of movement for metabolic and lymphatic health, and my personal experience (including some unexpected benefits I didn’t see coming).
The Hidden Metabolic Benefits of Low-Intensity Movement
When it comes to boosting metabolism, high-intensity workouts and weightlifting tend to get all the attention. But there’s a quiet, often overlooked form of movement that plays a major role in supporting metabolic health, energy, and longevity… low-intensity movement.
Think: walking, stretching, gardening, light mobility work. These gentle forms of movement may not leave you sweaty or breathless, but they help your body stay metabolically active throughout the day, and that adds up.
In this article, we’ll explore how low-intensity movement supports your metabolism, reduces inflammation, and improves energy, especially when you’re navigating stress, fatigue, or aging.
Why Strength Training Is Key for a Healthy Metabolism (and What to Know Before You Start)
You’ve probably heard that strength training is important as we age—but have you ever wondered why?
Beyond building muscle or looking toned, strength training plays a powerful role in keeping your metabolism healthy. And while you don’t need to become a bodybuilder or spend hours in the gym, it’s important to understand what resistance-based movement does inside your body.
This article isn’t a workout plan. It’s a guide to the science-backed reasons strength training is one of the most effective tools for supporting energy, metabolism, and longevity—and what to keep in mind if you're considering adding it to your routine.
How to Stay Consistent with Exercise (Even When You Don’t Feel Like It)
Most people don’t struggle with starting a new workout plan—they struggle with sticking to it. Motivation is high at the beginning, but as schedules get busy, energy dips, or progress slows, it’s easy to fall off track.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The real key to a healthy, active lifestyle isn’t willpower—it’s consistency. And consistency isn’t about being perfect every day. It’s about learning how to show up even when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or unmotivated.
In this article, we’ll explore the psychology and biology behind habit formation and offer practical strategies to help you stay consistent with movement—whether your goal is to boost metabolism, build strength, or improve your healthspan.
