Naomi Joy Fitness: Rebounding Fitness Workout // LOWER BODY BOUNCE AND TONE

Rebounding Fitness Workout // Lower Body Bounce and Tone is another awesome rebounder workout from Naomi Joy. And her dog niece Luna is back! She is stretched out and passed out during the most of the workout, but still so cute! As the title indicates, this is lower body workout but first Naomi warms you up with about 15 minutes of cardio. Then you move to body weight lower body strength work using a few props (pilates ball and the rebounder). Most of the lower body exercises are mat based but she also has you doing Bulgarian split squats. The lower body work burned! I was whimpering several times and had to take brief breaks to thaw my legs out. Naomi burned out a few times, too! In her other workouts during bridges Naomi sometimes has you squeeze a yoga block between your thighs and wow does that recruit so many more muscles! This time she has you squeeze a pilates ball if you have one (I do, but if you don’t, just use the yoga block or even a pillow). Just like the yoga block, it recruits so many more muscles that just doing the bridge by itself. But what I like about the pilates ball is it is soft rather than hard like that yoga block. This was a great workout that worked my lower body nicely. According to my FitBit I burned 241 calories.

**I recently returned to this workout and noticed that Naomi changed the workout title; it is now  Lower Body Bounce & “Sculpt” rather than “Tone.”**

For the cardio, each exercise is done for 30 seconds with no rest/recoveries. There is a timer in the lower left hand corner of the screen counting down the 30 second intervals. There is another timer in the upper left hand corner of the screen counting down total workout time. This workout is done voice over and set to great music. When there is approximately 10 seconds left of an exercise, a video appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen previewing the next exercise. For the lower body strength, the interval and recovery times vary and are indicated in the break down. Naomi previews the exercises during the recoveries.
