Trampoline Workout with Weights is another excellent and fun rebounder workout from Naomi Joy. This one uses dumbbells to increase the cardio intensity and to also give your upper body some work. You do not do any complicated leg movements in this workout (of course you are doing some type of bouncing movement throughout), but your arms are doing lots of work! Naomi uses 3 pound dumbbells for all of the exercises in this workout. I know from doing Naomi’s other light dumbbell rebounder workouts that she can really burn your arms and shoulders out, so I made sure I also had 2 pound dumbbells nearby. And I used them a few times! I stuck with 3 pound dumbbells the majority of the workout, but I few times I had to grab the 2 pounders on the second run through an exercise. Which leads me to the workout structure. The workout is made up of 5 circuits. Each circuit contains 3 exercises. After you do all 3 exercises you repeat the circuit before moving on to the next circuit. The exercises are done interval style; each exercise is done for 45 seconds followed by 15 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 minus the stretch. This is primarily a cardio workout, but your upper body does get some nice conditioning. I really enjoyed this workout! Tons of fun! In 40 minutes I burned 281 calories. I remained in my cardio heart rate zone throughout (except for the warm up and stretch). The stretch was very nice, thorough and felt great.
Set up tip: when I do a rebounder workout, I always have my square step set up at full height (24 inches) beside my rebounder. I set a towel and my water bottle on it. If I am doing a rebounder workout that also uses one piece of small equipment, I will set that on the step as well. But if I am doing a workout that requires more equipment, I will either set a chair beside my rebounder or use my full step at 14 inches so I can lay out more equipment. This saves having to get on and off your rebounder to grab things. For this workout I had my square step set up for water and towel, and a chair beside it with my 3 pound and my 2 pound dumbbells.
Trampoline Workout with Weights is 39:50 minutes; 3 minute warm up and 4:30 minute stretch. Equipment: a rebounder and light dumbbells. Naomi is using 3 pound dumbbells. I also used 3 pound dumbbells but I had 2 pound dumbbells nearby as well.
