45 Min Rebounder HIIT Cardio Workout w/ Abs Finisher is another super intense rebounder workout from Naomi Joy. Before I get into the workout, I have to share something that made a huge impact on this workout and all of my future rebounder workouts. Today is Christmas. For Christmas, my husband got me stronger bungees for my rebounder. This was my first workout using the stronger bungees. Holy cow what a difference they make. I cannot even explain it except to say I worked exponentially harder. Naomi’s workouts were already super intense using the bungees that came with my bellicon (strong bungees) but with the extra strong bungees? I do not think I have ever worked so hard (cardio-wise)–in a good way! What workout! BTW–one of my daughters got me the strongest bungees bellicon makes–ultra strong. I am not ready for those yet! The extra strongs kicked my butt. I will play with my extra strongs for a while. All of that to say, this workout was killer! I was working so hard! I was so worn out by the time we got to the long core circuit that I was doing all kinds of modifications just to get through it. I burned 367 calories and was in my peak heart rate zone 65% of the workout. That equals 30 minutes of a 47 minute workout in which 17 minutes is other stuff (warm up, core work, stretch). Now, if all of that scares you rather than excites you (like it does me), keep in mind every rebounder is different. I couldn’t get such an intense workout with the bungees I had before–and I tried! I always worked hard to keep pace with every trainer in every rebounder workout I ever did but I couldn’t keep up with many of them due to my bungees. That is no longer an issue! Plus, you don’t have to keep time with Naomi. Naomi’s moves are timed so you can do them at your own pace and still get an excellent cardio workout at your level. So don’t let me scare you away from an excellent workout. I just personally love bouncing fast and intense.
The cardio portion of this workout is done interval style. Each exercise is done for 45 seconds followed by 15 seconds of active recovery. At the end of the cardio you get 10 minutes of core work. Each core exercise is done for 60 seconds followed by a 20 second recovery. There is a timer on the right hand side of the screen counting down your intervals and recoveries. This workout is done voice over with excellent music. In fact, during the cardio, when we got the very last move, you are doing it for 3 solid minutes with no breaks. I was gassed out by then but the music was so motivating I got my second wind and sprinted through the final 3 minutes with Naomi.
***12/15/21 update–I have returned to this workout many times over the past year, including this morning. I re-read this review yesterday in preparation and when I did this workout this morning I was surprised at how a year later I have really built up my endurance. It was still an intense workout but after doing a year of Naomi’s rebounder workouts, this is definitely not her most intense rebounder workout. It was tons of fun and I still worked hard, but it did not feel nearly as intense for me as it did when I wrote this review a year ago. I still burned 360 calories and spent 44% of the workout in my peak heart rate. So still an excellent workout for me. The point of this update is–rebound consistently and your heart and your body will get stronger!***
