Jump it! Beginner Trampoline Workout is a fun rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. It is primarily a steady state recovery level cardio workout but it also has some balance work, some lower body work and some core work. You even do some push ups. I thoroughly enjoyed this workout. I am not a beginner and, as far as rebounding goes, I might even be considered advanced (or at least high intermediate), and I did not find this to be a beginner level rebounder workout. It definitely isn’t advanced nor was the cardio intense but when you are introducing side kicks and tuck jumps on a rebounder, you have taken it out of the beginner realm.
This workout was done to a slower tempo than most rebounder workouts I do, which is one of the things that lowered the intensity. I love super intense rebounding but I also really enjoy workouts that are more fun and low key like this workout. It was a lot of fun. If you are new to rebounding but not new to exercise then I think you can handle this. It is a great introduction to rebounding for an experienced exerciser. But if you are new to exercise then I would not start here. Personally, I loved it and I hope Michelle makes more recovery level rebounder workouts similar to this one.

How many times do you have to re-watch the workout in order to get every single exercise noted/recorded/listed? Your record keeping is quite impressive but seems like it would take a very long time.

I preview a workout once and that’s when I record the exercises. Once I actually do the workout I make any needed edits and record my thoughts. I tend to do it in the evenings while watching TV. Most workouts don’t take as long as you’d think to record the exercises. I’ve been doing this for 9 years (I started this blog in 2012), so I’m pretty good at it now. Things like Classical Stretch workouts are more labor intensive to blog but with workouts like those I record the exercises in more than one sitting. It’s actually really hard for me to sit around and do nothing, so I just multi-task when the TV is on. I have a husband who loves to watch TV every evening.
