55 MIN Trampoline Intervals Cardio & Strength | Rebounder + Dumbbells | HIIT Training | NO REPEAT 💦

55 Min Trampoline Intervals Cardio & Strength | Rebounder + Dumbbells | HIIT Training | No Repeats is a cardio + strength workout from Michelle Briehler and it moves non-stop. It is done interval style so you are getting rests but it seems non-stop because Michelle doesn’t rest. She almost immediately starts the next move. But I am sure that is because she doesn’t do preview videos like most of the other trainers I follow. However, there is a timer and lots of beeps to alert you to when the interval actually begins so I used the time that Michelle had already started the exercise as preview time–as in, she was previewing it for the home exerciser and when the interval actually began, that’s when I began the exercise. All of the cardio is done on the rebounder and some of the strength exercises also use the rebounder but many of them are just done on the floor with dumbbells. This is a no-repeats workout which really keeps things interesting, and Michelle manages to work your entire body. When I previewed this workout, I thought it would be much harder than it was. Some of Michelle’s background exercisers were really struggling in the course of this workout. By the end (during the Joyful Jump) most of them were not even jumping on the rebounder! They did the moves while standing on the rebounder (no bounce). In fact, one of the background exercisers (to the right of Michelle) modified almost everything. So if this workout is too advanced for you, just follow her. She didn’t bounce much at all. This seems so odd to me because it is hard for me to be on my rebounder without wanting to bounce constantly!

Most of this workout is done interval style; the cardio + strength portion (the majority of the workout) is 40 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of rest, the core segment is 30 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. There is a timer in the upper right hand corner of the screen counting down your intervals and recoveries. I really enjoyed this workout a lot more than I expected to. As I already mentioned, I was expecting to be wasted by the end but I was not. I will add the caveat that I did not challenge myself with my weight selection. I used heavy enough weights to feel the exercise but nothing to burn myself out. That is because for the past 5 days I have been doing very intense and challenging strength workouts from Caroline Girvan‘s Iron Series. So I was not in any need of strength training. For the majority of the exercises I used the same weight as Michelle or heavier. I came to this workout as more of a metabolic cardio rebounder workout and it served that purpose perfectly for me. I burned 450 calories and got lots of fun cardio. As usual, the stretch at the end of this workout is very short. That is one of the reasons I scheduled this workout for a Saturday. It is already an hour long so I needed some extra time to add on a more thorough and better stretch (Naomi Joy‘s 9 Minute Rebounder Stretch).

55 Min Trampoline Intervals Cardio & Strength | Rebounder + Dumbbells | HIIT Training | No Repeats is 58:24 minutes; one minute intro, 3 minute warm up and 2:20 minute stretch. Equipment: rebounder, dumbbells and a fitness mat for the times you have one knee on the floor or are laying on the floor on your back. Michelle is using 5-15 pound dumbbells plus her 1 pound lace up weights. I used 5-20 pound dumbbells and my 2 pound hand weights. If I used the same weight as Michelle then only the dumbbell weight is listed but if we used a different weight then both of our weights are listed. If I write an exercise is done “on the floor”, all that means is that the rebounder is not involved in the exercise in anyway.
