GymRa: 30 min Trampoline Cardio

30 Min Trampoline Cardio is a GymRa rebounder workout led by trainer Devon Watring. This is a cardio workout but there is a lot of kicking and knee raises so you get some lower body and core work thrown in with the bouncing. As you can see from the break down below, there is a lot of repetition in this workout but it is not boring. The time actually seemed to fly by. That’s probably because Devon kept things moving at a quick pace throughout.

This workout is set outdoors on a cliff with what looks like an ocean or sea behind Devon and some kind of villa hidden in trees on another cliff further back. Very beautiful background. The music is nondescript and I would have liked it a bit louder. There is timer in the upper left hand corner of the screen counting down total workout time. Devon starts the warm up on the ground then moves to the rebounder. The entire warm up can be done on the rebounder and I do not understand why it wasn’t. In fact, during the rebounding part of the warm up Devon talks about how much better rebounding is for you joints and yet she starts out jumping on the ground! Once you get on the rebounder the warm up consists of jacking the legs and basic bounces. Because this carries over into the actual workout, I am not certain when the warm up ends and when the workout begins but I started the breakdown when she finally did something different (but then she quickly went back to the jacks!).

The intensity really builds with this workout. It doesn’t seem too intense, but by the end all of the the kicks and knee raises were really spiking my heart rate. According to my FitBIt I burned just over 300 calories. Since there is no stretch, I found another rebounder stretch from AngieFitnessTV–this one is even better than her other that I frequently use.

GymRa uploaded this workout yesterday. This made me look at my “Rebounder” YouTube folder and I have saved a lot of rebounder workouts that I had forgotten about, including quite a few by GymRa. So I think I may try some different rebounder workouts in the coming weeks.

30 Min Trampoline Cardio is 32:21 minutes; 5:30 minute warm up and 1 minute cool down, no stretch. Devon starts the warm up on the floor then moves to the rebounder. If you have a large rebounder then the entire warm up can be done on the rebounder. She also leaves the rebounder and does the final part of the cool down on the floor. Again, if you have a large rebounder then that can be done on the rebounder as well.
