Intense Trampoline HIIT Workout >> 10 Min AB finisher is an intense rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler that kicked my butt! If you are going all out like you are supposed to in a HIIT workout, it will kick your butt, too. You need shoes for this workout because you do a hitch kick (#2 below) and one foot is on the floor. The HIIT portion of the workout is made up of 5 exercises. You repeat this 5 exercise circuit 4 times. IMHO, the middle 3 are the hardest (the hitch kicks and squat jacks/jumps). Exercises 1 & 5 were easier to me and served as a kind of intense recovery. Because I was sucking wind after exercises 2, 3 & 4! Michelle also varies some of the exercises slightly when you repeat them. She always changed the squat jacks/jumps a little and by the 4th circuit the background exercisers were all basically doing their own thing for that exercise. The workout ends with ten tough minutes of core work. It seemed especially tough because I was already gassed from the cardio HIIT we had just finished. I tracked the HIIT portion of the workout on my Apple watch. I started it at the very beginning of the workout then when we started the core work I changed it to core work on my Apple watch. So for the warm up and HIIT portion alone I burned 282 calories and spent 16:38 minutes in my peak heart rate zone. Intense! My heart rate dropped pretty quickly though because I only burned 66 calories for the core work and the stretch.
This is an interval workout. For the cardio HIIT portion, each exercise is done for 40 seconds followed by a 20 second recovery. For the ab finisher, each exercise is done for 30 seconds followed by a 10 second recovery. There is a timer in the upper left side of the screen counting down the intervals and recoveries. There is a progress bar at the bottom left side of the screen counting down the workout time as a percentage.
