Intense Trampoline Cardio HIIT with Core is a fun rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. This workout had a different setting than where Michelle usually does her workouts. This one was done in what looked like some sort of warehouse. At the beginning of the workout, words appear at the bottom of the screen that identify it as River House Brewery. This is primarily interval cardio and it gets intense. There are 2 exercises where your feet will be on the floor so you either need to wear shoes or have a soft mat on the floor beside your rebounder. I used a soft mat since I prefer to wear yoga socks when cardio rebounding. At the end Michele gives you 6:30 minutes of intense core work. My core was burning by the end. According to my Apple Watch I burned 313 calories and spent 3:30 minutes in zone 5 of my heart rate.
This workout is done interval style. The cardio the intervals are 45 second of work followed by 15 seconds of rest. For the core work the intervals are 40 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. There is a timer in the upper left hand side of the screen, counting down your intervals and recoveries. There is also a bar at the bottom of the screen that counts down the entire workout time as a percentage. There is a joyful cool down bounce at the end of the workout that is not done to any intervals.
Intense Trampoline Cardio HIIT with Core is 37:19 minutes; 50 second intro, 3:20 minute warm up, 6:30 minutes of core and 3 minute stretch.
