Twists & Turns is a fun little rebounder workout from SanFran Fitness. Claire said she created it because her sister-in-law asked for a workout with more twisting moves. What that means in this workout, is that you are turning to the sides and to the back with many of the moves. The turns apparently help work on your balance. I found this workout to be a lot of fun and a great little cardio workout. Today is my rest/recovery day so I used this workout to warm myself up before doing some yoga. It worked very nicely for that purpose. According to my FitBit I burned 175 calories. Not bad for a short workout.
Twists & Turns is 22:27 minutes; no designated warm up but 1-5 works as a warm up and 1:30 cool down/stretch.
