When my younger daughter came back to live in the house in which she grew up with her two girls, I turned most of the house over to her and began spending most of my day in my room.

 

I found sitting at my desk and listening to podcasts for new learning, several hours at a time, gave me back aches!!! Also, my balance was deteriorating as I walked, especially up and down stairs.

 

Therefore, I knew I needed to exercise more and brought the rebounder from where Sam used to use it downstairs, to my room along with the exercise ball. I decided to sit on the ball instead of a chair with the computer on my lap. Sitting on the ball needed to be higher to reach my desktop. 

 

Then, I realized the exercise ball on the rebounder could be the right height to work at my desktop with the computer. I tried it out and found I no longer got back aches - even watching a couple hours of a movie or podcast. 

 

Now, I can spend all day off and on typing and watching U-Tube without back aches!!!

 

Also I can rotate, jumping on the rebounder and getting my steps. I also took off the hand-grip bar on the rebounder and installed the overhead exercise hand-pulleys. 

 

It all works great!!!
