50 MIN Trampoline CARDIO Workout | JUMPSPORT Rebounder | Plus Glutes & Abs

Today is my cardio day so I decided to do Michelle Briehler‘s 50 Min Trampoline Cardio Workout | Plus Glutes & Abs, which is primarily a cardio workout but Michelle packs a lot of other things into this workout, too. It also contains 7 minutes of dedicated mat-based glute work and 11 minutes of core work. However, the cardio in this workout also does double duty. Any intense rebounding workout automatically works your core and lower body; that’s just the nature of rebounding. But Michelle includes lots of moves to hit your legs and core even harder. There are no complicated moves or combos in this workout. It is all pretty straight forward and easy to do, but it does get intense. Michelle sets all of the cardio segments to songs. She puts together 2-4 moves and you repeat them throughout the song. When the song is over, throw them away and move onto the next song/combination of moves. This even gives you a moment between songs to get a drink of water and/or wipe the sweat away. Michelle even sets the lower body work to songs; one leg is set to one song and the other leg is set to another song. The core work however is just 11 minutes of grueling core work done interval style. What really surprised me at the end was when Michelle leads us through a long and thorough stretch. I generally have to tack on additional stretching to Michelle’s workouts, but not this one. Another bonus–this workout is done entirely on the rebounder. No shoes needed. This was a great rebounder workout. Very enjoyable and very effective.
