45 Minute Steady State Rebounder Cardio is rebounder workout from Michelle Briehler. The title says it is steady state cardio and for the most part it was; though for me, it was a high intensity steady state. But my heart rate did remain in Zone 4 and 5 with hardly any dips–so pretty steady. But I do disagree with one part. There was a short song with a lot of squat jumps that were done interval style–so more like a HIIT song to me–not steady state. Additionally, for steady state cardio this workout was apparently kicking Michelle’s crew’s butts because they wanted breaks. However, overall it was a fun cardio workout on the rebounder. The choreography isn’t complex and is pretty easy to learn. There are a lot of fun moves and you return to them frequently so you get familiar with them. According to my Apple Watch I burned 358 calories.
