35 Min Mood Boost Rebounder Cardio is a feel good steady state cardio workout from Michelle Briehler. It boosts your mood because it doesn’t kill you like many of Michelle’s other rebounder workouts. I did really enjoy it. There are no complicated moves and the music appears to be at a slower tempo than many of her others. I had just finished her 15 Min Trampoline Cardio prior to doing this workout and that workout is done to a much faster pace. Additionally, this workout has plenty of recovery moves; you return to basic bounce often. I still got a great cardio workout and it was enjoyable as well. According to my Apple watch I burned 318 calories.
35 Min Mood Boost Rebounder Cardio is 37:40 minutes; 50 second intro, no designated warm up, 3 minutes of core work, and a 4 minute stretch. Only the stretch at the end is done on the floor; the rest of the workout is done entirely on the rebounder so shoes are optional. There is a progress bar in the upper right hand corner of the screen counting down the workout time as a percentage.
