Body By Simone: Trampoline Cardio

Okay, I love this workout dvd. I was looking to add some significant cardio to my workout routine and boy did I get it! This is truly a full body workout with no missed elements. There were several points where I asked myself if it was ever going to end, but I truly got my money’s worth.I would consider this an advanced workout in terms of exertion. The choreography is simple enough to follow, but there is SO much bouncing and what not. As a longtime fitness instructor I am no whimp, but I have to pace myself and give myself a mini pep talk to get through the entire workout.Overall, great workout, nicely produced, and Simone is super lovable!Side note: I have the same trampoline they use in the video. I would not recommend doing this workout on a cheap trampoline as it will severely jack you up. If you can, do invest in a JumpSport or another high quality trampoline. They are pricey but worth it.

Love this workout. I appreciate any workout that has all the elements, warm up, breakdown of the work, arm work, abdominal and cool down. This is a tough workout. I managed to do 90% of the trampoline work. If you’re an experience mover like a dancer or cheerleader, this is for you. It’s fast pace and great music. The choreography is fast but easy to get it once you do this dvd a few times. Also, I have a Bellicon with strong bungee cords so I have to work harder and can’t go as fast as the moves require. Oh well. With all the being said, I recommend this workout to intermediate to advance rebounders.

I like the upbeat tempo and this could be a good workout if Simone put any effort into teaching the moves. She barely even calls out the moves. Really terrible. Don't waste your money.

Remember the olden days of VHS tapes? Remember when you had to fast forward to the section that you wanted to watch? Well, welcome back to the olden days of inconvenience. For some inexplicable reason, this 2017 DVD has no menu. If you would like to focus on a particular cardio section, good luck! You'll have to fast forward and waste time trying to locate the section that you want. I find this extremely frustrating and annoying. I don't have time on work mornings to do this whole DVD, so I would like to be able to select the sections that I want to do. Unfortunately, this DVD does not have chapters.I would probably return it because of the lack of chapters, however, there are so few decent mini-trampoline videos (there are a couple of good ones on YouTube), that I'll keep it anyway. The workout on this is fun and will raise your heart rate. However, the cueing is poor to nonexistent and, as someone else pointed out, exercisers wearing white against a white background is questionable. Still, if you can put up with these issues, it's a decent exercise video.

I liked this workout a lot. It had me dripping sweat, and I frequently do high intensity workouts. Some experience with a trampoline and/or dance fitness is helpful, but not necessary. Total beginners could do the dvd once on the floor first, to get the hang of it. It’s a total body workout, with sections for arms, legs, and abs. Simone is fun and positive. I’m glad I now have a trampoline video because I don’t think I was making the best use of my rebounder.

I’ve been doing trampoline workouts for 15years. Disappointed in this workout as Simone does not give good instructions so it’s hard to follow the workout. towards the end of the workout she starts to instruction it’s more of a dance workout. My favorite is JB Berns it’s a 40mins workout with great instruction easy to follow along with a great workout.

This is a VERY fun way to get your heart pumping and lose some weight. I love it. I need to take little breaks and sometimes don't jump quite as high but you can do that and not feel like you've given up at all. It is super fun so you can go at your own pace. My daughter loves to jump on it when I'm finished so it's a win win if you have kids!

This was my first BBS workout DVD. It's difficult to find a trampoline/rebounder workout that is fun, effective and easy to follow. This one hits the mark except that Simone's cues are minimal at best. She and her team are delightful but it's challenging to stay on routine....not always sure what's next! Especially as the moves are quickly paced, as expected. I also wish that the sections (warm-up, cardio, etc.) were in chapters; this way I could go to a specific one when I'm not doing the entire program. They use wrist weights at one point but small dumbbells worked just fine for me. Overall, a quality production. It is an energizing workout with a wonderful instructor. I hope Simone makes more trampoline DVDs but with additional, clear directions.
