Do 50 jumping jacks
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
Remember jumping jacks from high school gym class? The great thing about them is they get your heart pumping and blood flowing. They also increase the oxygen in your blood and make you more alert. Sometime today, do 50 jumping jacks to get your heart rate up. _Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine._

This was much harder than it sounded. I ended up doing it in 2 groups of 25. Made me way more aware of how out of shape I actually am. Thank heavens for Kashi cereals and bars that fill me up till lunch time so I don’t snack at work!
At the office I work for we do jumping jacks every hour on the hour for 1 min it feels so great and gets our blood pumping.
this was soo much fun!!! i can feel it in my shoulders and calves! i think I’m going to start doing them everyday!!!!
It is a great way to start the day.
i feel great im gong to start doing 50 jumping jack everyday!
Wow! I couldn’t believe how good that felt when i was through! I will definitely continue to do a set of jumping jacks each day.
whoa boy! I forgot how strenuous jumping jacks can be. My heart is definitely pumping. I should try these at work to wake myself up :)
I did it and I can feel my heart pumping! I am more awake and bouncey! So proud of myself!
Okay so did the 50 and now I know I need to do this every day I can! that was harder than I thought it would be. Shins were yelling at me and got a mild case of jello legs for a couple of minutes. Will have to work on that!!!
What’s the difference between a jumping jack and a snow angel, really? Just lie on the ground and do that instead. It’s a lot safer.
I will definatly be doing this daily thanks for the push.
WOW! I am a new mom and just cleared to resume my regular activity (which did not include exercise). I decided that exercised needed to become part of my “regular activity”. I did 70 JJ’s and wow did my calves burn! I am going to make it a point to do 70 JJ’s everyday and more and more everyday. I am actually excited about this!
OK, 50 jumping jacks, 30 oush ups, and breakfast every morning -
I think Todd should do 50 push ups now.
JUMPING JACKS! Yes, I will add this to my work out. thanks for great idea.
that was so hard but no wonder i was such a skinny kid
this is something really easy you can do to exercise. Try doing this everyday!
Try the go-lean foods. In fact all of it is good for you. You need to excersise. Try weights, walking (fast) go with the balls. yoga etc. You may start off slow but you will get to where you want to be. It is not all of what you eat, it is your portion sizes.
it is good for your legs can anyone help me find a weight loss program my dr recommended this site to me but I can’t find the section
It was alot of fun. I really enjoyed myself, but I think my dog thinks I am crazy!
