Naomi Joy Fitness: Rebounder HIIT with Weights Workout / Cardio, Strength & Core Circuit

Rebounder HIIT w/ Weights Workout / Cardio, Strength & Core Circuit is another tough and awesome cardio + strength workout from Naomi Joy. She has one other workout like this one (so far–I am hoping for more): Mini Trampoline HIIT Circuit Workout. These two workouts are so awesome and work so well together. This is a total body strength + cardio workout. And the bonus (for me at least) was the ability to lift heavier dumbbells. Oh, and she has deadlifts in this workout. I love deadlifts! There are also quite a few combo moves that work multiple muscle groups. This works very well for the majority of the exercises in this workout except for one. An upper back combo move–a back row alternated with a back fly. I can lift much heavier for a row than I can for a fly. I dislike combos that shortchange a muscle group because you are forced to lift lighter (I had to use the appropriate weight for the fly, not the row). Since you repeat all of the main exercises a total of 3 times, in the future, I could just do one set of flys and 2 sets of back rows. So there are work-arounds to make this workout perfect for me. And I will definitely be returning to this workout in the future. I love it! According to my FitBit I burned 405 calories and spent 25 minutes of this workout in my peak heart rate zone. So I was working very hard! ***2/15/21 Update: I did this workout again this morning and this time on that combo move mentioned above, I did bent over back rows for two of the sets and rear delt flys for the 3rd set. So it worked out very well! I used 30 pound dumbbells for the bent over row. I also burned even more calories somehow this morning–457! This is such an awesome, thorough and intense workout!***

BTW–as of today/this review, I have now done all of Naomi Joy’s rebounder workouts. Fingers crossed she has more coming!

This workout is structured interval fashion. Each exercise is done for 45 seconds followed by 15 seconds of recovery. The workout ends with 6:30 minutes of tough core work. For the core work, each exercise is done for 60 seconds followed by 20 seconds of recovery. There is a timer on the right side of the screen counting down your intervals. During the recovery, Naomi previews your next exercise. This workout is done voice over with some excellent and motivating music. A lot of this workout is done on the floor, so make sure you have plenty of space around your rebounder or you can quickly and easily tip it onto its side like Naomi does to get it out of the way.

Rebounder HIIT w/ Weights Workout / Cardio, Strength & Core Circuit is 58:44 minutes; 1 minute intro, 3:30 minute warm up and 6:30 minute stretch. Equipment: rebounder, dumbbells and a fitness mat. Naomi is using 10 and 15 pound dumbbells. The weights listed below are what I used. The warm up, all of the strength work, core work and stretch are done on the floor, not on the rebounder.
