35 Min Trampoline Cardio Workout | Plus Strength + Core is yet another intense rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. Not as intense as her other two workouts I did this week (35 Min Trampoline Cardio with Abs & Plank Challenge and Trampoline Cardio Kickbox HIIT), but still pretty intense. This is primarily a cardio workout but it also includes 6 minutes of core and upper body work. The cardio is done to a fast tempo. Not so fast I couldn’t keep up, but I was definitely focusing hard to keep pace with Michelle. The background exercisers are sometimes doing their own thing. In fact, you can see in the picture associated with this workout the woman on the right did a star jump instead of a tuck jump. Things like that. The music was great, Michelle seemed full of energy and my heart was definitely pumping hard. According to my FitBit I burned 300 calories. What really surprised me is my heart rate stayed elevated throughout the core and upper body work. The graph on my FitBit app looks like the cardio never ended. That doesn’t usually happen. Usually when core work (or any kind of mat work) is done, the graph shows my heart rate dropping into the fat burning zone. But not during this workout! Intense!
