Trampoline HIIT Intervals Beginner

Trampoline HIIT Intervals Beginner is not a beginner workout. I am not sure Michelle Briehler knows what a beginner is! This workout was tough! And intense. At the beginning, she says that the cardio is done to a slower tempo and I guess that is the beginner aspect, but she also shares that as the workout progresses, the tempo increases as well. I did notice that the cardio at the beginning was slow but by the time you finish the 22 minute interval circuit, the tempo had definitely sped up. At the end of the cardio + strength interval circuit, Michelle does concede that this is not a beginner level workout. So keep that in mind! This is a total body strength workout. Using compound strength moves, Michelle manages to work every muscle in your body at some point. Plus lots of cardio and core work. This workout is separated into 3 parts. The first part is a 22 minutes cardio + strength interval circuit; the second section is 6 minutes of a cardio rebounding and the final section is 7 minutes of core work + lower body barre work. The intervals in the first part are 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of recovery/transition. The last two sections do not use timed intervals. Since this workout is only 43:30 minutes and has such a short stretch, I finished with Naomi Joy‘s excellent 9 minute extended rebounder stretch. Overall, I got a great and intense cardio + strength rebounder workout. I burned 392 calories.

Trampoline HIIT Intervals Beginner is 43:34 minutes; one minute intro, 3 minute warm up and 1:50 minute stretch. Equipment: rebounder and dumbbells. Michelle is using 8-12 pound dumbbells.
