30 Min Trampoline | Rebounder Slimming Waist Cardio Workout | No Repeats is a rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. It is a cardio workout but the moves used in this workout are all moves that engage your core more. Rebounding in itself engages your core, so this workout is kicking the core engagement up with lots of kicks, knee raises and twists. It was a lot of fun and I got a great cardio workout. According to my FitBit I burned nearly 300 calories (294). Michelle and crew are using Jumpsport rebounders. During the workout one of her background exercisers rebounder “malfunctioned”–a bungee apparently popped off and Michelle had to go fix it. Just FYI, I use a Bellicon and nothing like that has ever happened to me. I’ve been using my Bellicon since 2020 without any mishaps. On the subject of other things that have never happened to me, several times in the course of this workout Michelle indirectly referred to people having bladder issues while rebounding. I used to do AngieFitnessTV‘s rebounder workouts a lot and she would refer to people apparently losing control of their bladders while rebounding. WTC? This has never happened to me before.
This workout has one exercise where one of your feet will be on the floor. Since it is the only exercises that (for me) shoes are needed and I do not like wearing shoes when doing pure cardio rebounder workouts, I put a thick yoga mat on the floor on either side of my rebounder to protect my feet. The majority of this workout is done interval style. Each exercise is done for 40 seconds with no rest/recoveries. There is a timer in the upper left hand corner of the screen counting down your intervals. Because the stretch at the end is so short, you will probably want to add on a longer stretch. Naomi Joy has a wonderful 9 minute rebounder stretch and AngieFitnessTV has a 6 minute rebounder stretch and a 7:30 minute rebounder stretch. Since it’s a Sunday, and on Sundays I usually do yoga or long stretch sessions, I just did an extended flexibility routine by Jessica Smith from one of her new DVD workouts from her Strong + Centered Series (review for her Stretch + Relax DVD will post in a few weeks).
