Trampoline Workout 40 Min / Cardio & Core

Currently Michelle Briehler only has 4 rebounder workouts on YouTube and I have now done 3 of those 4 workouts. This is her newest one. She shares that this is all unchoreographed–she put this whole workout together on the fly, keeping the moves in time with the music. Which is pretty impressive. It is a great workout. Lots of fun and she cues really well for this being unplanned. This is a steady state cardio workout with some core work. The cardio does get intense sometimes but never HIIT level intense. However, she has squat jumps and those always burn me out–they did in this workout, too. Between a few of the songs she gives you a short break to get a drink of water. I got an excellent and fun cardio workout and some good core work. According to my FitBit I burned 304 calories.

Trampoline Workout 40 Min / Cardio & Core is 42:10 minutes (the last minute is Michelle talking so the workout is actually approx. 41 minutes); 1:15 minute intro (but you can obviously be bouncing and warming up during this–I was), 30 second warm up (not sure when warm up ended and workout began), 8:30 minutes of core work and 2 minute stretch.
