"You even have me jumping, not very high, but 10 times in a row!  I didn't think I'd ever jump again but after reading how impressive the benefit is I thought I'd better at least try it and found I can do it!  I hadn't had 2 feet off the floor in many years due to back pain.  Amazing." ~ Judy B. age 67.
