Yes, I feel completely stable on it. The one I have is 13 inches off the ground and in happy I went with the 44 inch mat. Gives you more area to work. I'd say you just need maybe 6 inches of clearance. It's not like a trampoline where you bounce really high.
Bellicon has some beginner and advanced workouts on you tube. Check it out. It might give you a better look at the clearance you need and what work you can do on it.
I just got done with flexibility from UY. LOVED it. Light flow first then a 30 minute complete body Stretch at the end. Felt complete relaxed and stretched afterwards. I'm a happy camper today!!! Need to shower and get dressed.

Good morning!
I must have had extra energy this morning because I did Ch-B-Sh, core#2, and scarecrow 100 rep challenge. I think I will regret it later when I have to shovel heavy wet snow! At least the storm will not be as bad a originally predicted. But DH to DD to a volleyball tournament in CT for the weekend so I have snow duty.
Colleen, that rebounder sounds great. I would love one for tuck jumps alone.
Betty, what a great idea to have the bike where someone can ride it while watching tv. I have been watching too much tv lately, and that means too much sitting. I've been trying to move more during my work day, and once a day I climb down 10 flights of stairs and back up again. Its a little tricky without sneakers but at least it's something.
Carolyn, so glad you enjoyed the live yoga class. That is one thing I miss about my previous job and gym, going to live classes. And with yoga the instructor can point out subtle things that you can't get from a dvd.
Missy, hope you're feeling better!
Jean, how exciting to work with a decorator and get everything just the way you want it. I'm jealous!
I hope Cathe lets us know soon what her next project is.
Have a great day!

Hi Mary! Great to hear from you!
Yes, hopefully the storm will be a dud. I'm ready for spring! The groundhog did promise!
Was it Jai in the scarecrow challenge? She looks smokin'!
Good for you for doing the stairs! 10 flights going up?!. I might take pause at that!!! Wouldn't want to sweat on my work clothes!
Yes, we talked of having a spin bike a year ago because we watch a lot of recorded tv and dvd movies. Felt so slothlike just sitting for hours upon hours. And it's super that everyone can use it! Last night we lubricated it, so I did 4 miles (hardly any resistance).
Oh, Colleen, the rebounder sounds incredible, especially with the moves you describe! Those are all the ones I hate and feel on my knees!
And omg, do I want UY! Flexibility sounds heavenly!
Oh, Carolyn, your cramps! How awful! Put a heating pad on your belly or back area! It feels so good!
LL Bean is actually where my s-i-l bought the snowshoes too. Glad you found the perfect ones!
Hi Jean, Missy, Marie!
Big L was so lame! Such manufactured drama!

Almost 3:30- can't wait to see my boys We are hanging with our nieces tonight. They are staying at hotel with their dad who is in town from Boston. I wish I could take B in the pool but he is still too young so we will just dip our toes in
Imax original this morning. I have only done that one one other time. Some of the blasts killed me---huffing and puffing. Core 1 as well.
I have UY on board for tomorrow morning. Looking forward to that
Carolyn- I'm with you on the "sweating like a man" thing. OMG I'm the worst. Usually have pit marks- TMI maybe How was your foot during your walk?
Mary- Nice workout! You should have some nice soreness tomorrow!
Betty- WTG on the bursts. DOMS coming tomorrow
Colleen- Your rebounder sounds great! Glad you're loving it Thanks for the review on UY. That one sounds great!
Missy- Hair did and pedi! Good for you- you deserve it with all your hard work you do.

Gorgeous tresses, Missy!!! Gorgeous color too! And your pedi color matches your top very well!
OMG, Jean, you got UY! I'm so envious! I just want it for $50 knowing it was that price at least twice! Funny how I don't blink twice with Cathe's pre-orders but I am holding out big-time with UY!
Let us know about meditation.
I bet the Ellen segment on auto correct was hysterical!
Have you gals heard of oil pulling?? I just read about it today on OD. It is fascinating! Search user CeciFifi--she's got a few posts about it. Mind-bending too! Is it all hooey??
Carolyn, I can totally relate on the bleeding. You really need to look into the Mirena IUD.

Morning, Carolyn! Sure did see that UY review! More fodder to the fire, or whatever the expression. See the post before? A Ride and UY rotation! almost perfect!
Watch UY never be dropped as low as $50 again!
Glad you're over the worst part of your cycle!
You ready for this?! Just spit out my 20 mins of oil pulling! I happened to have bought coconut oil a few days ago! Not doing this lightly since this is Ayurvedic (do you believe all you read on the Internet??) and I also happen to be reading a book on superfoods, with coconut being one of them.
Raining here.
Did 4.5 on bike last night.

Morning pumping break at work Thought I'd quick check-in.
LOVE UY. I did Crosstrain this morning and then Hardcore which is about 15 minutes of abs exercises and I even did the 10 minutes of meditation. It felt so good. My mind tended to wander during the meditation but I'll contune to work on that. DH and I used to meditate daily for a few good months and it always felt so nice. Must get back into it. So my plan is to do UY every Sunday. I started with day 1 today and will just follow the program from there, weekly though, not daily. LOVED it! I felt so good afterwards- mind and body. My only change will be doing Hardcore, if scheduled, first to get it out of the way. It wasn't as hard as Core 1 and 2 but still not fun to do after a full on yoga workout.
At work til 3:30 so I'm hoping to check-in later.
Jean- So happy you got UY. We can compare notes now. I'm sure you'll love it!
Carolyn- Thanks for thinking of me. I mention all you girls to my hubby as well. He calls you guys my Cathe friends. Congrats to DH's cousin's wife. That is so exciting! I can't wait to be pregnant again. I just loved it We will surely wait a bit though lol! Glad you're feeling more like yourself today!
Betty- Never heard of it but now you have me intrigued. I will check it out.
Missy- LOVE the hair and the toes

Morning!!
I did 10 minutes in the rebounder and 11 miles (30 minutes) on the spin bike today. I don't know it it was bb on Friday, rebounder or yoga yesterday but my inner thighs are on fire today.
They say you are suppose work up with long sessions on the rebounder only do 5 minutes at a time so your body can adjust. So that why I did 10 minutes today.
Carolyn, glad you are feeling better.
Marie, never thought I do the UY rotation like that weekly. I'm just picks and choosing right now.
Betty, I need to read the discussion on UY on OD board. I also read to read up on the oil thing your mentioned.
Missy, glad you took a test day yesterday. My DH is the same way with me. He gets mad if I don't let myself rest ever week. Which I always do its good for the body to recover.
I took a shower but still sitting around I my robe. Need to get dressed.... Bbl

Quick post - I'm at an all-day volleyball tournament with one DD today. Was supposed to start at 8 but they pushed it to 10 because of the weather, which turned out to be rain but is now coming down pretty heavily. Supposed to go until 6 but I hope they end it early.
I had enough time to do Cardio Leg Blast, haven't done that one in a while. It is tough to sit for long after that one, my legs are stiffening up.
Jean, good to hear about how you liked meditation. I have not done the UY meditation but keep thinking I should (there's never enough time), but you have motivated me!
Carolyn, forgot you have winter break next week, great idea to get away.
Have not heard or read about this oil thing, based on your postings I cannot begin to imagine what it is!
Gotta run, enjoy the rest of the weekend!
