Like a lot of YouTube trainers, AngieFitnessTV‘s workout titles are a long mish-mash that make them appear interchangeable with a handful of her other workouts. But they are all different. This one is one of her easier workouts to identify though it too has a dozen different identifiers. This one is titled Bounce For Health Pure Cardio Workout. This morning was a cardio day for me so I paired this workout with Angie’s 15 Minutes To Fit Rebounder Cardio Workout for a 54 minute steady state cardio workout. This is a pretty basic rebounder cardio workout but Angie gives you easier modifications for some of the exercise. Angie did make this workout fun by using different equipment to increase intensity. For this workout you will need some type of bar. Angie says you can use a dowel rod that you can get at Home Depot or a pilates stick. I own a 3 pound weighted bar that is a little over 2 feet long so it worked perfectly for this workout. You also need light dumbbells. I really enjoyed this workout. It was fun and I got a great steady state cardio workout. This is not an intense or advanced rebounder workout like Barlates or URX-MT workouts. Unless you are a beginner to both rebounding and exercise, this is not going to challenge you but you do not always need to be challenged! Not if you just want an effective and fun cardio workout. Which is what I got this morning. If you do want something little more intense, just use heavier hand weights and a heavier bar. I have bars in all sorts of weights so I could easily bump it up to 4 or even 6 pounds.
Bounce for Health Pure Cardio is 36:30 minutes; 1 minute intro, 6 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down/stretch. Equipment: rebounder, light hand weights (Angie is using 2 pound hand weights) and a light bar/rod. Each exercise is done for 1 minute.
