A 45-year-old woman from Western Canada has found an unexpectedly simple way to boost her happiness, mental clarity and energy levels—by simply jumping up and down 50 times a day.
Trish Vroom started her “jumping journey” on September 19, inspired by a video she stumbled upon while scrolling online.
“I saw a guy just mentioning that if you jumped 50 times for 30 days it would change your life,” Vroom told Newsweek. “I thought, why not? I’m already trying to make changes for myself—so I gave it a try.”
What began as a whimsical experiment has turned into a daily ritual that Vroom says has transformed her mood, focus and even her physical health.
“The huge difference is I’m so much happier,” she said. “I look forward to getting out of bed and doing this—and I’m not a morning person at all. The joy doesn’t end after the video ends. I’m happier all day.”
In addition to a boost in energy, Vroom claims she’s experienced clearer thinking, reduced stress and small but noticeable physical changes.
“I’ve released four pounds over the 30 days,” she said. “My pants, rings and watch are looser, and my cellulite looks less visible. My skin is more glowing too.”

Although Vroom and her husband already walked daily and followed a relatively balanced diet, she says the jumping routine, paired with better meal planning, has brought new focus to her wellbeing.
Simple Habit, Big Changes
For Vroom, the impact goes beyond physical fitness. She believes the small daily commitment has rewired how she approaches all challenges, not just fitness-related ones.
“My ability to handle stress is higher,” she said. “I don’t get bogged down like I did before. Stress just isn’t as all-encompassing somehow.”
Miami based cardiologist Leonard Pianko told Newsweek: “While adding a simple jumping routine to your daily habits may not sound groundbreaking, there are numerous benefits to this trend.
“Any routine is beneficial as it sets a tone for the day. I often recommend to my patients to sit outside for 10 minutes each morning, before their coffee, to reset their circadian rhythm. While light exercise does not reset our circadian rhythm, it does reinforce it.
“Aerobic activity helps improve your mood and sets a positive trajectory for the day,” Pianko said. “The simple act of jumping also raises body temperature. That boosts oxygen and blood flow to the brain. Good blood flow equals good brain functioning. What could be bad about that?”
Vroom is now sharing her “jumping journey” online, where videos of her daily routine have attracted curious followers.
“Ugh I need to start doing this,” said one commenter. While others shared how they may encounter issues with the idea. “I’m an upstairs neighbor and I don’t want to be hated,” said one viewer.

Vroom recently left her corporate 9-to-5 job to pursue social media and personal development full-time, and plans to expand her platform by creating short, accessible exercises she calls “snacker-sizes”—quick movements people can do throughout the day, such as calf raises while brushing their teeth.
She’s also designing a course for mothers with pelvic floor issues who may not be able to jump comfortably.
“Jumping is such a cheap, easy way to bring joy into your life,” she said. “Almost anyone can do it.”
