Earth & Owl: 10 Minute Rebounding Workout Recovery Cool Down Yoga Stretch

Earth & Owl is another YouTube channel that does rebounder workouts. They do mostly members only (you have to pay) workouts but they have quite a few free ones as well. The trainer’s name is Nikki.

I was really interested in this workout because there are so few rebounder stretches out there. I have a whole play list if short (5-10 minute) stretches that I add on to the end of workouts but very few are done on a rebounder. My go to is Naomi Joy‘s 9 minute rebounder stretch. So when I saw this one I had to try it. It is a good stretch, but Naomi’s is still my favorite. The biggest draw back to this one is there is no music. That is always a drawback for me in any workout. If I have to provide my own music or go without, I am not likely to do it.

With that said, this is a good stretch. Nikki has a yoga strap to shop modifications if you are not very flexible. I am pretty flexible so I did not need it. This is a feel good stretch and Nikki has you hold the stretches for a while. In spite of the lack of music, it is a good stretch to add on to the end of any rebounder workout. I did this after completing one of Nikki’s other cardio rebounder workouts and it was set to music.

10 Minute Rebounder Recovery Stretch is 11:09 minutes; 35 second intro. Yoga strap is optional. If an exercise is done on one side of the body it is repeated on the other side of the body.
