Rebounder Cardio Bounce Sculpt is another fun and effective rebounder workout from AngieFitnessTV. As the title indicates you use light hand weights to do some pilates upper body sculpting, then you do mat work on the rebounder to work your lower body and you end with standing (or hopping) core work on the rebounder. And of course, there is bouncing cardio alternated with all of this. The cardio isn’t super intense but Angie’s focus with the cardio in this workout is directional changes. So every cardio move you do she has you rotating in a circle. This does challenge your balance when doing it on a rebounder but it is not advanced. I am balance challenged and I have no problems with directional changes. As usual this was a fun and effective workout. I got a good workout that left me feeling good afterwards. I only burned 266 calories in the course of this 49 minute workout but that isn’t bad when you consider that at least half of it was strength training of some sort (upper, lower and core). Plus, this has a nice long stretch at the end. Very much a feel good, but effective workout.
Rebounder Cardio Bounce Sculpt is 49:42 minutes; 6 minute warm up and 7 minute stretch. Equipment: rebounder, pilates or playground ball, light hand weights (Angie is using 3 pound hand weights for the upper body sculpting and 2 pound hand weights for the punching at the end). The warm up uses the pilates ball. The pilates ball is not used for anything else.
