    Trampoline Aerobics.  I've renamed it Tramp Aerobics.  It makes me giggle.  Whaaaaaa?  It sounded crazy at first.  I never thought I'd be able to do it.  Wow.  What a workout!  Bounce bounce bounce.  Bounce some more.  That's the idea.  There's warm up stretching, heavy cardio (jumping from tramp to tramp, jumping while tossing a ball back and forth, etc), then cool down.  One HECK of a workout.  I have to take a lot of breaks because I get a total head rush and get dizzy after a while. When I leave, my legs feel like Jello and I have to concentrate on walking or I'll fall flat on my face.  My abs generally feel like they're on fire and my legs are pretty sore for a few days after.   
    The class is held at a huge indoor trampoline center.  I found a Groupon for $30/10 classes, which has turned out to be a good deal.  I have to wear all sorts of shapewear because the flab roll on my belly has a mind of its own on the trampolines.  Seriously.  I jump one way and the flab flies in the other direction.  <sigh>  I digress.  My ultimate hope is that I can improve my balance (the weight loss has caused me to walk on the balls of my feet, instead of heel-toe).
Here's the description of the class...
