35 Min Wellness Rebounding/Bounce & Stretch on a Mini Trampoline

35 Min Wellness Rebounding/Bounce & Stretch is a rebounder workout that Clare of San Fran Fitness created to help raise money to help stop a festival in China where dogs and cats are slaughtered for their meat. Here is the website for the rescuers that this fundraiser directly supports. It’s very disturbing but I cannot help but point out–all of the meat we eat had a face, a personality and could feel love. Our “livestock” is just as intelligent as cats and dogs. To the people in China, cats and dogs are no different than cows, pigs and chickens to Americans and people in many other countries. Something to think about.

But that’s not what this post or this blog is about. It is about the workout–which is excellent! It starts with a nice warm up then you go into 20 minutes of cardio rebounding. It is not advanced or super intense rebounding but it will get your heart rate elevated. I can no longer give FitBit stats because mine broke and I decided that after 10 years of tracking everything on my FitBit, I’m done. No more tracking. Though there are no complex moves, there are some combos that will make your brain work a little. One the cardio is over, Clare takes you into a some yoga inspired dynamic stretching and it ends with static stretching. This was a fabulous workout and I loved it.

35 Min Wellness Rebounding/Bounce & Stretch is 38:06 minutes (the last minute is Clare talking); 2 minute intro, 5:30 minute warm up, 20 minutes cardio rebounding and 9:30 minute yoga stretch. Equipment: rebounder and a fitness mat.
