Trampoline CARDIO | Waist & Thigh Slimming Ankle Weight Sculpt | Rebounder Workout

Trampoline Cardio | Waist & Thigh Slimming Ankle Weight Sculpt | Rebounder Workout is another tough rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. This is a cardio + strength circuit workout and the focus is on your lower body. You also get some core work. Michelle says she is giving you some upper body toning work at the end, but I don’t agree. I liked all the of arm movements but it didn’t feel like my arms were getting any real work. I like how this workout is structured. Michelle alternates cardio circuits with strength circuits and you are wearing ankle weights the majority of the workout–including the cardio segments. Ankle weights really increase the intensity of the cardio and give your lower body some additional work. The last two circuits are all cardio and they are done without ankle weights. The ankle weights definitely make everything much more challenging. They were definitely challenging Michelle’s background exercisers. They either could not keep up with her, or they could not do the exercises at the same level as she does them. This workout is filmed live. Thankfully there are no filming glitches like there were in her other live workout that I did recently. Because it was done live, you get some long breaks. Each circuit is set to a song and between each song you get some type of rest/recovery. Some are long and some are short. I still got an excellent workout. If you minus the intro and the 2 minutes of Michelle talking to her live viewers at the end, this workout is only 45 minutes. I burned 350 calories in that time. Not bad for a circuit workout. She gives a short but solid lower body stretch at the end. Because this workout is only 45 minutes I added on Naomi Joy‘s 9 Minute Rebounder Stretch for some deeper lower body stretching.

Trampoline Cardio | Waist & Thigh Slimming Ankle Weight Sculpt | Rebounder Workout is 48:19 minutes; 1:20 minute intro, 3:30 minute warm up and 2:45 minute stretch. Since this was filmed live, the last 2 minutes is Michelle talking to her viewers. Equipment: rebounder and ankle weights. I am not sure of the weight of Michelle’s ankle weights. She said 2 pounds once then 3 pounds another time. I used 2 pound ankle weights. The warm up is a bouncing routine on the rebounder. After the warm up you put on your ankles weights for some barre-style lower body work.
