I'm glad you found the articles useful. Running barefoot really is best.

The trampoline is easy to balance on. At the end of the jog, if I am doing something else with Wii Fit Plus, such as checking what treat my calories would buy me in the the 'My Wii Fit Plus' section, I just stand on the trampoline and there's no problem at all. Remember that little trampolines - also known as rebounders - are made with running in mind.

Little trampolines don't take up much space and all the ones I have had have had legs that unscrew for easy storage so they don't take up much room. I lean mine against the wall next to the exercise bike and when I wish to use the bike, I just lean it against the table nearby. It takes me only a moment to get it out to use for running. But, of course, it does depend upon how much space you have.
