With the weight I was carrying around (see right), and dealing with illness and fatigue,  certain exercises left my feet aching and my knees and hips in pain Other type and me demotivated.  many exercises I found too challenging and a chore, so It was a challenge to stay motivated to exercise between bouts of treatment (which i was told was helpful and which was backed up by cancer research.). 

Getting the right kind of exercise for your body is really important but so is having fun. I  found the benefits of rebounding more than just physical.  Working to make exercise part of your daily routine and lifestyle  meant  it needs to be enjoyable.  This was an added bonus I did not expect and it fueled my desire to share the journey with others.    The bellicon equipment isn’t cheap, but honestly I looked at less expensive options, but given it was my health and was life at stake, anything less seemed unwise, and risked ending up in the shed .  Now I delight in sharing my bounce back with others.
