get OUT - this thing is AWESOME!

So the best things about my new 'bug' is that it tells me my calorie burn. I know I've said it before, but I really do love this thing! 

I kinda had a rough day today. Nothing horrible, and nothing to do with my food, but I just felt a bit bummed. So I took a nap. Later in the afternoon I checked out my calorie burn and saw that I was way under. So far under, that I wasn't going to hit my daily goal.  I figured that I could just walk my stairs after the kids went to bed (as boring as that sounded) so I got the kids ready to make a quick trip to Target. And when I opened the door, I had a package waiting for me. It was my rebounder.

Yes, I had no idea that a mini-trampoline was also called a rebounder. I've heard these things are pretty good, so I ordered one. Yep. I actually did. 

Anyway, after the kids went down I opened the box (actually, the husband did and set it all up) and started a little jumping and running in place. I'll simplify: I did some light jogging in place which turned into some basic bouncing (if I'm being honest - lol) and I only did it for like 20-25 minutes. Afterwards I went and checked my status, and I burned MORE calories doing that then when I was doing my brisk walk on the treadmill. WHO KNEW?!

So I'm super excited to be able to have this as an exercise resource. I plan on being on it when I watch my shows at night. But I'll have to work up my bounce time ... it's actually tougher than it looks!
