Save Your Joints, Boost Your Power, and Invest in Your Healthspan: The Trampoline Advantage for Men Over 50
As successful men in our 50s and beyond, we understand that the most valuable asset we own isn’t our portfolio—it’s our body. We’ve spent decades building wealth, influence, and family legacies. But too often, our own health and longevity take a back seat.
Now is the time to reinvest in the one thing that keeps it all moving: you.
Most fitness programs out there aren’t built for men like us. They’re either too soft to make an impact or too hard on our bodies—especially our joints. High-impact training like box jumps, burpees, and plyometric push-ups might look powerful, but for men over 50, they’re a fast track to inflammation, wear and tear, and long-term injury.
Traditional Plyometrics vs. Fitness Rebounders: A Smarter Approach
| Traditional Plyometrics | Fitness Rebounder Training |
| High impact on knees, hips, and ankles | Low-impact, joint-friendly movement |
| Limited to linear, repetitive motion | Multi-directional, balance-enhancing engagement |
| Requires extended recovery time | Fast recovery, even restorative post-workout use |
| Risks outweigh benefits over 50 | Maximizes benefits with minimal physical cost |
| Not sustainable for longevity training | Ideal for long-term health and explosive strength |
Coach Kevin Kearns—renowned conditioning coach for 15 UFC fighters and founder of Burn with Kearns—was introduced to mini-trampoline training by a friend in New England. What began as a recovery tool turned into a full-fledged solution for enhancing explosiveness, joint-friendly conditioning, and lymphatic drainage.
Unlike traditional plyometric exercises that wear down cartilage, ligaments, and tendons over time, rebounder-based workouts offer low-impact resistance with high returns.
Trampolines Aren’t Just for Kids
As the former, strength and conditioning expert for 15 UFC fighters and founder of Burn with Kearns, was introduced to mini-trampoline training by a friend in New England. What began as a recovery tool turned into a full-fledged solution for enhancing explosiveness, joint-friendly conditioning, and lymphatic drainage.
Unlike traditional plyometric exercises that wear down cartilage, ligaments, and tendons over time, rebounder-based workouts offer low-impact resistance with high returns.
Here’s what you get when you incorporate trampoline training:
The Trampoline Advantage:
📍 Joint-Saving Plyometrics – Build explosive power without grinding your knees or hips.
📍 Improved Lymphatic Flow – Boost immunity, detoxification, and fat metabolism.
📍 Time-Efficient Conditioning – In just 10–15 minutes, improve stamina, balance, and strength safely.
📍 Enhanced Longevity – Better circulation, improved coordination, and reduced risk of injury.
From the cage to the boardroom, this training method works. In the fight game, explosiveness wins bouts. In business and life, it can mean the difference between thriving and burning out. You need efficient, intelligent training that aligns with your goals: peak performance, long-term health, and powerful confidence.
Coach Kearns’ trampoline-based protocols include multi-directional jumps, controlled hops, ground-and-pound moves, and explosive med ball slams—all adapted for your level, not a 20-year-old fighter’s.
