I keep seeing workouts on YouTube with “Japanese method” in the title but this is the first workout using this method that I have decided to try. And of course it is a rebounder workout! Apparently this method alternates easy walking with more intense walking. In this workout this plays out as 3 minutes of easy moves with 3 minutes of more intense moves. The workout is one circuit of 6 moves. Each move is done for one minute. The circuit is repeated 7 times.
I needed something easier this morning. I gave blood yesterday and I always lose steam quickly in the days after giving blood. This was perfect. Even the more intense intervals weren’t that intense but with my endurance down, I felt them. According to my Apple Watch I burned 375 calories. Not a bad cardio workout for a day when I needed something less intense. I will say repeating the 6 exercise circuit started getting monotonous by the end of the workout but it still served its purpose.
Rebounder Walk Workout | 3×3 Japanese Walking Method is 45:51 minutes; no designated warm up and no stretch. There is a timer in the upper right hand corner of the screen counting down the workout time.
