Intervals Workout | at Home Rebound | Upper Body and Cardio is a rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. It is a steady state cardio interval workout. For the most part there are no complicated moves, but there was one combo move in Block 2 that took me a few tries to catch onto. This workout is made up of several parts. The main part is two blocks. Each block begins with intervals of 50 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. During the intervals Michelle alternates one straight cardio move with one weighted cardio move using light hand weights. There are no visuals counting down your intervals like other trainers give you, however when there is 10 seconds remaining in the interval a timer appears in the lower right hand side of the screen, counting down the last 10 seconds. The second part of each block is straight cardio–no intervals. During this part, Michelle strings together the non-weighted cardio moves into a long combo. After all of the cardio (approximately 45 minutes of cardio), you get a little over 3 minutes of core work followed by some cool down bouncing. The workout ends with a short stretch. This was a fun cardio workout. Not super intense but some great rebounding cardio. I burned 459 calories. Though much of the workout is done interval fashion, it is not a HIIT workout.

Hi, I just skim-read through this post, it’s my first one to come across that uses a rebounder and my question is if most of the rebounder workouts in general could be done on a regular trampoline. If yes, maybe I could use my kids’ trampoline and try these type of exercises! Thanks

If you have the means to play the video wherever your kid’s trampoline is set up, I don’t see why not. I will note though, that the intensity of these types of workouts has to do with your ability to push down hard when jumping and to also be able to do the moves at a fairly quick pace. I only have an indoor rebounder so I cannot vouch for the tension being the same on the large outdoor trampolines.

Happy windy but (temporarily) warm Thursday to you!
This one looks doable for me so I added it to my to-do list. ☺️
Today was cardio for me as well. I did Heather’s Day 60 total body HiiT. I was hoping it’d be like Caroline’s last day of Endgame III but it wasn’t. It was thorough and pretty tough and fun in terms of variety and tempo, but it wasn’t celebrate-fun. No confetti or high 5s at the end, although she does acknowledge and reflect on the series in both the intro and close.
I tacked on one of her 10 min ab segments to close out my day.
