BOUNCE & BANDS Trampoline Cardio and Strength | at Home Rebounder Workout | Cardio • Arms • Booty

Bounce & Bands Trampoline Cardio and Strength is a cardio + strength workout from Michelle Briehler and it was a burner! Never underestimate resistance bands! Every muscle group Michelle hit with the bands were burning by the end of the circuit. Since this is a rebounder workout, most of the exercises are done either on the rebounder or using the rebounder as a prop, but a few of the exercises are done on the floor or a fitness mat. Of course, how challenging an exercise is, is dependent on the strength of your resistance tubes/bands. I used what I think is a medium band. It came in a collection of 4 bands with strengths ranging from light to extra heavy and the one I used comes right after light–so medium? And I used my medium cloth booty band/resistance loop. All of the upper body band exercises felt easy at first–like I should have used a heavier band but very quickly they became challenging then they began to burn! This isn’t quite a total body strength workout but it is close. The lower body and the arms got the most work but Michelle hits your shoulders and chest and I even felt it in my upper back during a few of the exercises. This was an excellent cardio + strength workout. Each circuit is set to a song, so alternating between cardio and strength circuits really made the time fly. Since this workout was filmed live, the intro is kind of long as Michelle adjusts the camera but you can, of course, already be starting to warm up by bouncing on the rebounder. The length of the warm up listed below is when Michelle officially begins the workout.
