20 Min Mini Trampoline Cardio Endurance Workout | Intermediate | HIIT is another fun rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. This is one of her more intermediate level workouts. Not super intense but not low key either. A short but effective cardio workout. In 23 minutes I burned 200 calories. It worked really well today for my recovery day. After I finished it I did 30 minutes of Sara Beth yoga. It is also the perfect length to combine with another rebounder workout for a longer cardio session. I LOVE the warm up song. I first I heard the song (Liability by Tape Machines/Astyn Turr) a few years ago in a Heather Robertson workout and loved it so much I found it on iTunes and downloaded it. It’s been on my Ipod ever since. So, for me at least, it was a great and motivating way for me to really get into the workout from the very beginning.
The majority of this workout is done interval style. There are 12 exercises. Each exercise is done for 30 seconds with no rests/recoveries. There is a timer in the lower left hand corner of the screen counting down the intervals. The first time through the circuit you do the exercises without dumbbells. When you repeat the circuit, you do it holding a set of light hand weights. The workout ends with more cardio rebounding but with no intervals.
