Trampoline Workout | At Home Low Impact Cardio and More | Rebounder is another tough rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. This one is cardio + strength, with the strength work focusing on the lower body. But you are working your lower body even during the cardio because you are wearing ankle weights. This workout was tougher than I expected it to be. There are 2 ways you can make this workout easier. First is to use lighter ankle weights or no ankle weights. I used 2 pound ankle weights. The other way is to do the easier versions of some of the cardio exercises. Michelle does not show any modifications for the strength work but for some of the cardio exercises, she gives you easier options. I went with the more advanced options and I was working hard! You also get some core work. Michelle spends a whole song on your calves and mine are still feeling the burn!
Trampoline Workout | At Home Low Impact Cardio and More | Rebounder is 51:34 minutes; 2:15 minute intro, 4:30 minute warm up and 4:15 minute stretch. The workout is actually 49:30 minutes; the last 2 minutes is Michelle talking and showing you her dog. Equipment: rebounder, ankle weights, one medium dumbbell and fitness mat. Michelle is using 3 pound ankle weights and one 10 pound dumbbell. I used 2 pound ankle weights and a 10 pound dumbbell. At the end of the warm up, put on your ankle weights. You wear them the entire workout until the very end (#76 below) when the cool down starts.
