AngieFitnessTV: Trampoline Extreme Cardio Kickbox & Upper Body Sculpt

Cardio Kickbox & Upper Body Sculpt is a super fun cardio + strength rebounder workout from AngieFitnessTV. Doing this workout was a last minute decision. I workout for an hour every morning then I do a second workout at the end of my work day. Lately, I have been doing primarily Bellicon workouts as my second workout but I enjoy Angie’s rebounder workouts so much that I just wanted to try more of her workouts before my surgery on Friday makes rebounding off limits for at least a month.

Though this workout is part of Angie’s Trampoline Extreme series there isn’t anything extreme about this workout. But it is a lot of fun! And though “kickbox” is in the title, this is primarily a boxing + upper body strength workout. In fact, the weighted boxing is just part of the upper body strength work. There is only one set of kicks in the entire workout. The workout starts holding light (2 pound) hand weights which are used for all of the boxing moves. The first 18:30 minutes of the workout (including the warm up) is cardio. Each cardio exercise is done for 1 minute. For some of the boxing moves Angie stops bouncing, I did not. I wanted the intensity so I kept bouncing throughout every cardio move. At the 18:30 minute mark you swap the 2 pound hand weights for a set of 8 pound dumbbells for the upper body strength work. You might need heavier dumbbells for the moves to be effective. I think normally 10 pound dumbbells would work better for me but with my bad shoulder the 8 pound dumbbells worked fine without causing any undo strain. Angie’s son made an appearance during the workout, joining her for a few of the exercises. It was cute.

Trampoline Extreme Cardio Kickbox & Upper Body Sculpt is 31:11 minutes; 45 second intro, 5 minute warm up and 3:30 minute stretch. Equipment: rebounder, light and medium hand weights. Angie is using 2 and 8 pound dumbbells. You are holding the light hand weights even during the warm up though you do not use them for actual boxing moves until the warm up is over.
