Naomi Joy Fitness: Rebounding Abdominal Core Workout / Trampoline Workout Class Video/ 10 Min Core Finisher

Rebounding Abdominal Core Workout / 10 Min Core Finisher is add on workout created by Naomi Joy. Naomi has a lot of awesome rebounder workouts of all different lengths. In her intro, she shares that she created this workout to add on to the end of one of her rebounder workouts to get some additional core work. Rebounding itself can be a core workout, depending on the move, but this is a nice way to get in some extra core work at the end of one of her intense rebounding workouts. All of the exercises are done on or using the rebounder. This morning I did one of Naomi’s intense tabata rebounder workouts and used this as a finisher. It worked my core nicely. This is an intermediate level core workout but if you need something easier, for almost every exercise Naomi shows an easier modification. The most challenging (and fatiguing) move for me was the V sit bounce (#10 below). It looks like so much fun while Naomi is doing it, but the burn! Especially after just finishing the V sit circle (the preceding move)! The V sit bounce works your entire core–front to back. An excellent rebounder strength move.

The exercises are done interval style; each exercise is done for 50 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest/recovery. During the recovery Naomi previews the next exercise. There is a timer in the upper right hand corner of the screen, counting down the intervals and recoveries. There is another timer in the upper left hand corner of the screen counting down total workout time.

Rebounding Abdominal Core Workout / 10 Min Core Finisher is 12:03 minutes; the first 50 seconds is Naomi giving form pointers; no warm up or stretch. During the workout a small video sometimes appears in the upper left hand corner of the screen showing easier modifications.
