Trampoline Cardio Workout | At Home Rebounder | Core + More

Trampoline Cardio Workout | At Home Rebounder | Core + More is a fun and intense rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. This is primarily a cardio workout but it does include some intense core work at the end. The workout starts with a short warm up then you move into some fun cardio combos. Next is 10 minutes of interval training followed by more cardio combos. The intervals do increase the intensity a bit but I did not find them as intense or challenging as some of Michelle’s other workouts. Then you move into some core work. The core work actually started to burn my core out! This has been a core intensive week for me–every single workout I’ve done this week has included core work. You’d think my core would be sore but it isn’t. Still, it was burning this morning! The workout ends with some easier, cool down bounce combos and a very short stretch.

This workout was filmed in a different location than where Michelle normally films her workouts. She was visiting her family in North Dakota. She is in a glassed in patio with lots of snow behind her. She said she was freezing through most of the workout.

Since I workout for an hour in the mornings, I used a short beginner level cardio rebounder workout to warm myself up and, since Michelle’s stretch is so short, I used Naomi’s Joy‘s wonderful 9 minute rebounder stretch to finish this workout. I burned 341 calories; that includes the 9 minute stretch I added on at the end, though I doubt that burned many calories.

Trampoline Cardio Workout | At Home Rebounder | Core + More is 38:09 minutes; 40 second intro, 2:30 minute warm up, 7 minutes of core work and 1:30 minute stretch. During the intervals and the core work you will be partially on the floor so I wore shoes for this workout. Actually, I wore my Bellicon rebounding socks then right before the intervals began, I paused the workout and put my shoes on for the remainder of the workout.
