Rebounding After 40: Why Low-Impact Exercise May Be the Secret to Aging Strong with Steve Carver
What if getting older doesn't mean you need to work out harder—but smarter?
In this episode of Girls Talk Healthy Aging, Alli and Shawna sit down with Steve Carver, Master Trainer and Product Development Director at JumpSport, to talk about one of the most fun—and often misunderstood—forms of exercise: rebounding on a mini trampoline.
With more than 35 years in the fitness industry, Steve has worked with everyone from everyday exercisers to celebrities, including Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora. Known as "Mr. Bouncer," Steve has spent decades helping people discover how low-impact movement can still deliver meaningful fitness benefits.
And this conversation is especially relevant for women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond.
As we age, many women find that the workouts they used to love suddenly leave them feeling achy, exhausted, or beat up. So does that mean we should exercise less—or simply change the way we're training?
Steve explains why low-impact doesn't mean low results, how rebounding can challenge cardiovascular fitness, balance and coordination, and why finding movement you actually enjoy may be one of the keys to staying consistent as you age.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Why exercise can start feeling different during perimenopause and menopause
• Why low-impact exercise can still provide a challenging workout
• Rebounding for women over 40 and healthy aging
• How mini trampoline exercise can challenge balance and coordination
• Rebounding alongside strength training for muscle and bone health
• Why protecting your joints doesn't mean giving up intensity
• The connection between movement, fun and long-term exercise adherence
• How women who haven't exercised consistently can safely get started
• What Steve has learned after more than 35 years in the fitness industry
If you've ever thought, "The workouts I used to do just don't feel good anymore," this episode is for you.
You don't have to stop challenging yourself as you age.
You may just need to challenge yourself differently.
