15 minute Rebounder HIIT Menopause Workout is a very simple and straightforward HIIT workout from Michelle Briehler that is done on a rebounder. No complicated moves. In fact, there are only 3 moves that you will repeat multiple times. The point is to put all of your effort into each interval, working as hard as you possibly can because you will get an equally long rest afterward (High Intensity interval Training). Give all out effort for 30 seconds then you get 30 seconds of rest. There is a timer in the upper right hand corner of the screen counting down the intervals and recoveries. There is a progress bar just above that counting down the workout time as a percentage.
I did enjoy this workout but I didn’t find it super intense. According to my Apple Watch I burned a total of 139 calories and never spiked into Zone 5. I was giving the intervals all out effort, too. I think it was because this was the first workout of my morning and I didn’t even warm up beforehand–just jumped right into it. And Michelle does recommend warming up first. So maybe it takes time for your heart to really start pumping. The graph does show my heart rate in Zone 4 during the intervals in the last half of the workout. Another short cardio workout from Michelle that is perfect to add on to the end of another workout (or to the beginning like I did). I followed this with another cardio rebounder workout to round out my morning.
