Trampoline Cardio Core HIIT Workout | Waist Slimming | Arm Sculpting | Rebounder Cardio is an intense rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. The first part is HIIT (high intensity interval training) but every move isn’t high intensity. Every 3rd exercise is a core exercise. Some of those core exercise can be HIIT level depending on how fast you do them (mountain climbers, bicycles) but the other core exercises, you would sacrifice form to do them fast. Nevertheless, it still gets intense! Though you do get some core work, this is a cardio workout. You can only use light hand weights for the weighted portion of the workout and the weights are more to increase intensity then to really “sculpt” your arms. Again, the pace of the moves makes using heavier dumbbells difficult and even dangerous. This workout was a lot of fun. According to my Apple Watch I burned 382 calories and I spent 6 minutes in my peak heart rate zone. This workout has you on the floor sometimes (you are still using the rebounder) so I had to wear shoes.
The first part of the workout is done interval style: 40 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. There is a timer in them lower left hand corner of the screen counting down the intervals and recoveries. There is a bar at the bottom of the screen counting down the workout time as a percentage. After the interval portion of the workout, you do weighted cardio with light hand weights. The workout finishes with more cardio rebounding with no intervals.
