Dr. Darryl Gioffre recommended a rebounder as a great form of exercise, so I thought I'd try it. Now, it has replaced the elliptical and recumbent bike that were my preferred gym machines. I love that it's right here, and I can jump on any time. I plan to take it on extended trips since it has become an integral part of my morning. The news and the trampoline go well together before breakfast!
