30 Min Advanced Trampoline HIIT Workout | Intense Cardio | Rebounder is a cardio workout from Michelle Briehler done on the rebounder. Though it is labeled advanced, most of the moves are not actually advanced. A few of them are but Michelle gives alternatives if they are too advanced for you. The workout does get intense though, so the intensity level might be what is advanced for some people, rather than the moves themselves. This workout is made up of one 8 exercise circuit that is repeated 3 times. However, each time the circuit is repeated Michelle makes changes to some of the exercises. The one negative for me is that you need shoes for at least one of the exercises–or at least I do. It is a box jump onto the rebounder. I do not like to wear shoes for cardio rebounder workouts (I don’t mind wearing shoes for cardio + strength workouts but if all we are doing is cardio–I hate wearing shoes), so I did the alternative move Michelle offered–squat jumps on the rebounder. The other exercise is a roll back move where you come off the rebounder and jump on the floor. For that move I put a thick mat on the floor beside the rebounder to protect my feet (my heels are full of metal, which is why I need shoes or some form of protection for impact).
This was a fun and intense rebounder workout. The exercises are done interval style: 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of recovery. When there is 10 seconds left of the interval, a timer appears in the right hand side of the screen counting down those last 10 seconds. Michelle gives you a longer recovery before you repeat the circuit. After you repeat the circuit 3 times, Michelle gives you a slower cool down bounce routine. According to my Fitbit, I burned 281 calories.
