35 MIN Trampoline Cardio with Lower Body Blast | Light Weights | Rebounder Workout

This was a tough workout! 35 Min Trampoline Cardio Workout with Lower Body Blast | Light Weights | Rebounder workout is a cardio rebounder workout using light hand and ankle weights to increase the intensity. And man, did it get intense–for me at least. And not just me. Once you put on the ankle weights, Michelle’s background exercisers could not do most of the workout at her level and/or speed either. They seemed to be struggling several times in the course of the workout. When we get to #43 below (returning to jumping on the rebounder after doing mat based lower body exercises with ankle weights on) my legs felt so weak and fatigued I couldn’t get my knees up very high at first for jogging in place!

Michelle and crew are using something called Lace Up Wearable Weights. They weigh one pound each and they wrap around your wrists and/or ankles. But you do not need Lace Ups to do this workout. I used 2 pound hand weights when they held the Lace Ups in their hands and I used 2 pound ankle weights when they had them wrapped around their ankles. In the future, I will probably drop to one pound ankle weights because that is when the workout really started to kick my a$$–once you put on the ankle weights. This was an intense rebounder workout. Michelle puts together little combos that are set to a single song. Once the song is over you move to another combo or something different (lower body work, core work). Most of the combos are not complex or difficult but one of them required a lot of focus for me to follow every time we returned to it (#12 below). My husband started trying to talk to me during that combo and I had to pause the workout. I simply could not answer him and do that particular combo! But as long as he wasn’t talking to me and I could focus, I was able to do the combo. I burned 271 calories and spent a total of 10 minutes in my peak heart rate zone. Not bad for a 32 minute workout in which 2 full songs are lower body mat work and core work. You get a very short stretch. Then Michelle and her crew do some dancing on the floor not the rebounder. I did some extra stretching (figure 4 glute stretch and happy baby) then turned it off. I’m only there for the rebounding.
