45 Min Trampoline Total Body Cardio Workout

45 Min Trampoline Total Body Cardio Workout is an intense rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. Maybe I am having an off day today but this seemed like Michelle’s most intense rebounder workout to date. I haven’t done all of her rebounder workouts (yet) but I have done most of them. I was working very hard in this workout. Part of me thinks it is because I had to wear shoes in this workout, which makes some rebounder exercises more awkward for me than when I am rebounding in yoga socks. But because you are using the floor several times in the course of this workout, I had to wear shoes. This workout is primarily cardio but there is some strength work in it, too, though I would never use the small amount in this workout as my strength work. It served more as a brief respite from the intense cardio–for me at least. I got an excellent cardio workout. According to my FitBit I burned 416 calories. Michelle has 4 exercisers behind her also doing the workout. Michelle gives easier options for many of the more advanced exercises. During some of the more challenging exercises you will see the women behind her moving at different speeds and some of them are modifying. So if you are having a hard time keeping up with Michelle, just follow one of them.
