Wow–another crazy intense workout from Naomi Joy. For this one you use light hand weights to kick the intensity up as well as work the upper body. Trampoline Cardio Workout with light Weights / Lower Abs Finisher is killer cardio–for me at least! Apparently not for Naomi because she talked throughout the workout and never seemed out of breath. Seriously impressive. My husband said something to me in middle of the workout and I could not verbally answer him–I just nodded. I was working too hard! Naomi used 3 pound hand weights but I didn’t even bother to try. I used 2 pound weights and that was plenty! My arms burned out several times in the course of this workout. Like most of her workouts, I found this advanced. Many of Naomi’s workouts are done interval style, meaning you get a recovery. Even 10 seconds of recovery is something. This is not done interval style so there is not a single break. The weighted cardio bouncing is 24 minutes; the remaining 14 minutes is warm up, core work and stretch. I burned 276 calories! I was in my peak heart rate zone 42% of the workout or 16 of those 24 minutes. I was working very hard! What an excellent workout!
There is timer in the lower left hand side of the screen counting down your workout time from the warm up through the weighted cardio. The weighted cardio portion is not done interval style but the core work is. The core exercises are done for 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of rest. There is a timer on the right hand side of the screen counting down your intervals and recoveries. During the recoveries Naomi previews the next exercise. Naomi talks real-time throughout the warm up and weighted cardio portion. For the core and stretch it changes to voice over.
Trampoline Cardio Workout with light Weights / Lower Abs Finisher is 38:18 minutes; 1 minute intro, 3 minute warm up, 6 minutes of core work and 4 minute stretch. Equipment: rebounder and light dumbbells. At the end of the warm up, grab your light weights.
