As soon as my husband saw the title of this rebounder workout he said I had to do it. He loves Metallica. I am not a Metallica fan but I do like their well known songs, one of which is used in this workout (Enter Sandman).
This a fun cardio workout. The intensity builds as you move through the workout. There no warm up but the first few moves are low intensity enough to serve as the warm up. For the first 3 songs Nikki puts together a combo of 2 moves that you alternate for a minute for before moving on to the next move combo. For each song change you just jog in place. For the final song, the beat is so fast she just has you so a single move for the entire minute and she does them fast. I could not keep pace with her but I went as quickly as I could without getting sloppy. According to my Apple watch I burned 155 calories.
Each move combo is done for one minute. When there is a few seconds left of a move, a video appears to the left previewing the upcoming move. There is a timer in the upper left hand corner of the screen counting down the workout time.
20 Minute Metallica Cardio Rebounder Workout is 20:51 minutes; 50 minute intro; no dedicated warm up and no cool down or stretch.
