HIIT Cardio Low Impact Rebounder | Intermediate Level is a no repeat interval rebounder workout from Michelle Brieher. I almost always enjoy Michelle’s rebounder workouts but this was one of her best. It was a lot of fun, great music and she had a long and thorough stretch at the end. I couldn’t believe it! Her stretches are usually so short! This wasn’t her most intense workout, so labeling it intermediate is appropriate, but it will give you an excellent cardio workout. Be warned though, squat jumps appear 3 times plus there are tuck jumps and star jumps. So probably high intermediate. After the stretch, the first 20 minutes of the workout is interval based. It is made up of 20 different moves. Each move is done for 50 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest. There is a timer in the lower left-hand corner of the screen counting down your intervals and recoveries. There are no previews like other trainers give during interval workouts, but Michelle does show and tell you during the recovery what the next move is. After the 20 intervals you do a fun combo set to a single song–that one does repeat moves, so the “no repeat” aspect is only during the intervals. After that is some cool down bouncing and the long, beautiful stretch. According to my FitBit I burned 308 calories during this workout. However, I did not come to this workout cold. Since I used it as a morning workout, I needed something to round out my hour so I did Michelle’s 15 Min Trampoline Cardio Jump (which is actually 20 minutes) before this one so I was well warm up when I came to this workout. Between the two I got a great cardio workout this morning.

Happy Tuesday!
Today I did what was probably the most fun workout I’ve ever done. It was a 60 min athletic sports bootcamp with weights (https://youtu.be/stfnZ8rkFDo) from Sydney. 14 sports, each one has one strength and one cardio/power move and you repeat those moves before going on to the next sport. The best thing about this workout is that she really tries to approximate that particular sport’s moves so you can visualize it. This makes it so much more fun and interesting than just going through standard moves. And Sydney lifted HEAVY (for ex, 25 lb for shoulder press 😳). I did not use such heavy weights for most moves because my purpose was more cardio-focused today. And she had a really uplifting message at the end about finding joy in your strong body and life.
I ended with a 5 min ab pilates routine from Move with Nicole.
