20 Min Rebounding Circuit for Fatigue & Low Energy Days is a low intensity beginner level rebounder workout from SanFran Fitness and it was exactly what I needed today. I was on my feet all day yesterday–literally. And since I have 2 plates and 12 screws in both of my heels, it crippled me. So this morning I was doing nothing intense. I had to take pain meds to even do this workout! Luckily there are no complicated or intense exercises in this workout but it will give you some light cardio. I have a T bar on my rebounder that I rarely use but I am always glad I have it for days like this. This morning I had to use it several times. I am grateful for workouts like this. Just because I trash my heels doesn’t mean I have to sit out of a workout. Clare has created several of these gentler workouts that are perfect for my “bad feet days.” I used this workout to warm myself up before doing some yoga and this did the trick. It warmed me up very nicely. By the time we got to the dynamic warrior 2 pose (#16 below) I was able to do it with little problem. At the beginning of the workout that would have been impossible for my feet but the meds had kicked in plus this workout had my feet all warmed up.
This workout is done interval-style; each exercise is done for 30 seconds followed by 30 seconds of active recovery. During the recovery you can do whatever you want but Clare shift hops side to side (I did, too). There is a timer in the lower right hand corner of the screen, counting down your intervals. During the recovery Clare previews the next exercise.
20 Min Rebounding Circuit for Fatigue & Low Energy Days is 23:21 minutes; 1:10 minute intro, 1 minute warm up and 1 minute cool down. Clare has the stability bar on her rebounder and holds onto it near the end for balance.
