30 Min HIIT Mini Trampoline Cardio Sculpt is an intense rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. When the workout begins Michelle makes it sound like maybe it will not be super intense, but the cardio intensity really builds. Especially when she adds dumbbells. And that’s the key really, the weight of your dumbbell. During the first part Michelle and crew just used one pound weights. I used 2 pounders. Then when you get to the HIIT part, Michelle uses 5 pound dumbbells. It looked like most of her background exercisers were using something lighter but I also used 5 pound dumbbells and that is the part that really spiked my heart rate and kicked my butt. But that is the point of a HIIT workout–to spike your heart rate so it worked! This is a great cardio workout. And you get some arm toning, too.
During the HIIT portion of this workout there is timer on the left side of the screen counting down your intervals and recoveries (30 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest). There is a bar at the bottom of the screen counting down the workout time as a percentage.
