Naomi Joy Fitness: Mini Trampoline Workout with Weights / Interval Workout / Cardio + Strength

Another killer rebounder workout from Naomi Joy. She didn’t put “killer” in the title of this one, but it wiped me out! I was working very hard. Mini Trampoline Workout with Weights / Interval Workout / Cardio + Strength is no repeat total body cardio + strength workout. Naomi is using a 10 pound dumbbell while bouncing on the rebounder. This is much harder than it seems. I had my full step set up beside my rebounder and on it, in addition to a 10 pound dumbbell, I also had a 15 and a 20 pound dumbbell because, after previewing this workout, I thought perhaps I could use a heavier dumbbell for some of the exercises. Nope–10 pounds was very challenging. I did use heavier weights for some exercises, but only non-jumping exercises. Bouncing seriously limits the amount of weight you can use. This was a very tough and thorough total body metabolic strength workout. Because it is only 41 minutes and I workout for an hour every morning, I warmed up with one of Naomi’s other workouts: Beginner Trampoline Workout with Light Handweights. That is such a great workout to warm up your upper body for some strength work. Because of that I cannot give my calorie burn for this workout alone. Between the two I burned 438 calories. I did spend 16 minutes in my peak heart rate zone and all of those minutes were during this workout.

This workout is done interval style; each exercise is done for 45 seconds followed by 15 seconds of recovery. There is a timer in the lower right hand corner of the screen, counting down the total workout time. There is another timer on the left side of the screen counting down your intervals and recoveries. During the recoveries Naomi previews the next exercise. This workout is done voice over to excellent and motivating music.

Mini Trampoline Workout with Weights / Interval Workout / Cardio + Strength is 41:10 minutes; 40 second intro, 4:30 minute warm up, 6 minutes of core and 4 minute stretch. The first part of the warm up is done on the floor/mat and is very active with mountain climbers and bird dogs. Then you move to your rebounder for the remainder of the warm up (which is even more active). The stretch is done on the rebounder. Equipment: rebounder, dumbbells and a fitness mat. Naomi is using a set of 10 pound dumbbells. If an exercise is done on the floor, I will note it in the breakdown. If it is not mentioned then the exercise is done on the rebounder. For all of the bouncing exercises I used a 10 pound dumbbell, but some of the non-bouncing and/or floor exercises, I used heavier weights and that is noted in the breakdown below.

1. Basic bounce with bicep curl into overhead press (one 10# DB)
2. Fast feet run with bicep curls (one 10# DB)
3. Squat with rotation (squat holding one DB in both hands, when you stand, rotate torso to side while also doing an overhead press, alternate sides with a squat between sides–done on rebounder but no jumping) (one 20 DB)
4. Hip twist hops (hold one DB in both hands in front of chest, keep torso/DB straight while hips move) (one 10 DB)
5. Push up + alternating leg lifts (hands wide on rebounder frame, feet on floor, lift both legs before doing a push up)
6. Double jack legs with overhead press when legs are wide (one 10# DB)
7. Overhead tricep extension (standing on rebounder but not jumping) (one 25# DB)
8. Tricep dips (hands on rebounder frame and feet on floor)
9. Scissor runs with bicep curls (one 10# DB)
10. High knee run while holding one DB in front of you with arms bent (partial bicep curl held isometrically) (one 10# DB)
11. Get on all 4s on mat, holding one DB in one hand, opposite leg is extended straight behind you in line with hips/back, do single arm rows in this position (one 30# DB)
12. Repeat #11 on other side of body
13. Weighted squat jumps (on rebounder) holding one DB in both hands (one 10# DB)
14. Curtsy/cross-back lunge with knee raise at top of lunge (done on floor) (20# DBs)

16. Repeat #14 & 15 on other side of body
17. With hands on rebounder frame and feet on floor, do one push up then tap one leg out to side then the other leg out to side
