Video by Earth & Owl on YouTube · Open on YouTube

Nikki bounces through four Elton John hits on a mini trampoline in an every-minute format: from the 30-second mark you choose to step up the intensity or stay low. Beginner-friendly and good singalong music. Needs a rebounder.

Step by step 4

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. Yellow Brick Road: bounces, jogs and knee lifts; 30 seconds into each minute, step it up or stay low. 1:01
  2. Don't Go Breaking My Heart: side kicks and wide squat bounces with arm moves, with the same low or high choice. 4:17
  3. Bennie and the Jets: bounces with sweeping, open arm moves, again with the choice to step it up mid-minute. 8:48
  4. Crocodile Rock: a fast song, so hold one steady pace throughout rather than switching intensity. 13:58

The steps are a summary in our words, checked against the video — the coach shows every move.

Form cues from the coach

  • At the 30-second mark of each minute, step up the intensity or stay low
  • Crocodile Rock is fast, so hold one steady pace for the whole song
