Ladies and the Tramp

**Wow, you guys REALLY want your Bondi Bands! There’s still time to enter my giveaway, so get the deets here.

Last week over blueberry pancakes, a group of us were talking about getting out of the running rut and finding new ways to exercise while having fun. Sarah mentioned a trampoline place that does exercise classes and more. The last time I was on a trampoline was probably 20 years ago, but I was intrigued — and I wasn’t alone!

So tonight, I met Sarah, Meghann, Kelly, Mary Beth and Rosie at Rebounderz for fun and cool shoes:

Before getting there, I was STARVING … my lunchtime Hugh Jass didn’t quite hold me over, so I made an emergency snack pit stop:

And it was a good thing I stopped, because the trampoline cardio class was hard. Like Jillian Michaels-P90x-run 3 miles hard. It took me a few minutes to work up the courage to do all the cool moves the instructor called for, but I finally found myself bouncing off the walls (ha!) and on my butt.

He had us do laps, jumps, sit-ups, mountain climbers and on and on and on. I was one big sweaty mess when we were done, but it was a blast. I think the girls and I will be going back soon!

Meghann was the only one brave enough to take her camera onto the trampolines, so you’ll have to head to her blog to see pictures.

And when I got home, I had two great things waiting for me. Dinner, prepared by Lucas:

Out-freaking-standing. He made a warm pasta salad with sweet peppers, carrots, celery and a mustard vinaigrette. And then, the star of the meal, pinto beans smashed with fresh lime, garlic and deliciousness. I would never have thought to put lime in the beans but it was money. Luckily, there are leftovers for tomorrow.

And look what else came:

Dave’s Killer Bread — I won it from the Care to Eat girls a while back and have been DYING to try it! Now I just hope Lucas wins his trip to Portland so he can learn about beer and stock my bread supply.

The trampoline class was so much fun, I think we’re going to try rock climbing next week.

What is your favorite “fun” exercise to do?
