Michelle Briehler was recommended to me by a reader because I had reviewed PiYo and Michelle creates a lot of PiYo workouts on YouTube. But Michelle has also created some rebounder workouts, which is what interested me. So I decided to check her out. She currently only has 3 rebounder workouts posted on YouTube. I decided to start with her all cardio workout. I enjoyed it so much that I will probably give her other 2 rebounder workouts a try at some point. This was a fun, intermediate level cardio rebounder workout set to good music. The workout is done interval style: each exercise is done for 50 seconds followed by 10 seconds of recovery. There are 20 different intervals but after the interval portion is done, there is more cardio rebounding. It is less intense than the interval cardio but it still keeps your heart rate elevated and is a lot of fun.
20 Min HIIT Mini Trampoline Workout is 32:16 minutes; 2:30 minute warm up and 3:45 minute cool down and stretch.

Thank you for the review!! You do a phenomenal job with the detailed choreography. That’s more than I do! I just listen to the music, pick a few moves that feel right and jot it down. Sometimes it changes depending on the vibe I get from others or inside myself. Again grateful for your honest review. Michelle B

Thank you for creating your rebounder workouts–however you do it. I am no good at putting workouts together for myself. It’s the excellent workouts that you and other trainers put together that keep me coming back for more. If I had to create my own workouts, I would probably quit working out!

It was me that recommended her! I love her PiYo. May I also suggest, for heavy weight workouts (so many), to try Caroline Girvan. She is the fittest and hardest trainer on YouTube IMHO. Similar music to Heather Robertson too. For mobility / stretch try CDorner fitness – she talks all the way through and it is a wonderful distraction. She has many other workouts with really good music.

I just checked out Caroline Girvan and I am very impressed! Thanks for the heads up! I just saved a workout that I think I will try.
I previewed a CDorner workout a month or so ago because I have gotten a lot of recommendations for her. I got through half of it and turned it off. She talked a lot and mostly about non-workout things. Plus she stopped repeatedly and walked partway out of the picture (sometimes all of the way) while telling the exercisers to keep going. I don’t mind things like that occasionally but this was a 30 minute workout and she did it 4 or 5 times in just the first half of the workout. I tend to like trainers who primarily talk about the workout during the workout–and do the majority of the workout with you. So I won’t be doing any of her workouts. But Caroline Girvan looks like she could be a new go to trainer for me.
