Urban Rebound Nerd

So my friend and I recently bought gym memberships on Groupon to a great little facility right near home that has a a ton of different classes to choose from, all included in the basic membership.  I've never been much of a gym rat, but it's been fun trying out spin, kickboxing and zumba classes. Embarrassingly enough, my absolute favorite class is Urban Rebound, which is pretty much jazzercize on a trampoline.

Super geeky. Super weird. But soooo fun.

It's all I can do to keep from cracking up throughout the class, we all look SO ridiculous.

But it's incredibly fun and really hard and the time goes by crazy quickly.


This is our studio and the "rebounders" all stacked after class.

I find it hilarious that nobody calls them trampolines.

 

Seriously, people, they're just mini-trampolines.

Spectacular East River view from the studio.  Always traffic on the FDR!

This wacky routine was originally developed as a work out for recovering from injury, since it is low-impact and easy on the joints. Hmmm wonder what the knee-surgery peeps in my life are getting for Christmas....
