Let's get Physcial!

In the 80's there were so many exercise fads. Richard Simmons - Joan Fonda. My family for some reason was on the CUTTING EDGE of each new craze. At some point my mom decided that the way to a healthy body was to do a cardio workout on a trampoline with out falling off. I'm not so sure we were ready for that .We all played on the trampoline, but I'm not sure it was ever used as an exercise "machine". It was used to launch stuff like dogs, weights and sisters across the room, but we never did any real hardcore workouts.

I read a blog recently that was written by a women who could not run on her treadmill, but managed to lose 60 pounds doing cardio on her mini trampoline.

Black Friday sales showed me I could own one for $20.00 and I needed some momentum to get me back on the exercise wagon, so I got one. So we are now at day 4 of the Great Trampoline Experiment and every freaking muscle in my body is sore. Which means it's working and I'm getting a GREAT workout! 20 minutes of non-stop low impact cardio with weights, jumping jacks and high knees.

For some reason when I get bored, my body shuts down and I start to yawn. Even in the middle of the 30 Day Shred. I knew when it was time to up a level or increase weight, because I'd start getting SLEEPY. Duh.

True Blood is going to be ON DEMAND starting the 21st and I've made a deal with myself. That I can spend as much time watching Season One as long as I'm working out at the same time.
