Mixing things up

It was so nice out I thought I'd mix things up, give the trampoline a break, and go outside for awhile.

Did all 8 of the Jiang Rong Bagua palm changes (both directions),
a little of the Xingyi 5 element fists,
the beginning of the Guang Ping Tai Chi set,
and some standing stance practice that included:
Universal Post, Horse stance,
Half Horse Stance, and Chin to Toe
(though that's just the name not what I can actually do).

Day One: Workout One

20 minutes of bouncing for a total of
225 calories burnt.

Started with the health bounce for a couple minutes to warm up,
Then started getting some lift off the trampoline,
Sparring stance switches,
Shuffle punches,
Kangaroo punches,
Torso Twists (what I like to call "hitting the moguls" because all the twist is below the waist),
Some stuff using 3 lb dumbbells,
back to the strength bounce,
and then it broke down to playing around with dance type movements
and having fun,
did a little big of seated bouncing to work the gut,
then finished up with some health bouncing to cool down.

One thing I'd like to remember to do when I bounce is take off my glasses,
and see if bouncing without them can improve my vision at all.

Probably alot for my first workout, but not like I'm entirely new to rebounding.
I've been bouncing on the cheapie Walmart bouncer for about a month and a half now.
I'm hoping the Cellerciser will hold up alot better than that one did.
