Rebounder HIIT + Core Workout | Mini Trampoline 20 MIN Cardio

Rebounder HIIT + Core Workout | Mini Trampoline 20 Min Cardio is a fun and intense cardio interval workout from Michelle Briehler. This workout is done differently from any of her other rebounder workouts that I have done so far. The workout is all music, no talking. There are no graphics and no exercise previews. There are beeps to alert you when the intervals begin and end. I’ll be honest, though this was an excellent workout and I really enjoyed it, I also really missed the graphics I am accustomed to in other trainers’ workouts–timers for the intervals and recoveries, previews of the next move, a timer or graph counting down the workout time. Now, Michelle never has those things in any of her workouts that I’ve done but she does normally talk and cue. Some cuing would have been nice sometimes, but overall still I really liked this workout a lot. Especially the cardio portion. The cardio is done interval style; each exercise is done for 30 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. The core work is also done interval style but the intervals are longer: 50 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. I really like the 30/10 intervals for the cardio. And none of the exercises were complex or difficult to do. Michelle usually started an exercise a few seconds for before the timer signaled you to begin the interval so you at least had an idea of what was coming. The core work was tough! Those 50 second intervals seemed an eternity sometimes–which is why a timer would have been welcome!

This workout does not contain a warm up; however, the first few intervals are low key enough that they work well as a warm up. I used this as my morning workout so I needed something to round out my hour anyway so I started with a short cardio rebounder workout from San Fran Fitness. It worked well as a warm up and brought my workout time up to 53 minutes. Michelle gives you a thorough stretch at the end of this workout. In 40 minutes I burned 261 calories and spent a total of 9 minutes in my peak heart rate zone.
