Hey, this sounds like fun. I wonder how many calories are burned by doing 200 jumping jacks. . .

Okay, I almost died doing that! How out of shape am I?! I had to keep taking breaks. In the middle of it all, I found out that I'm an Auntie again. Another nephew, boys outnumber us in my family big time.

You can calculate it based on time and your weight here:

It looks like for me, I'd burn:

# Minutes # Calories
1 9
5 44
10 88
20 176
30 263
40 351
50 439
60 (1 Hour) 527

Now to see how long it takes me to do 200 jumping jacks. :)

Oh my. That is SO much harder than I thought it would be! I am breathing so hard right now, and I only did 100. I will have to try to do the other ones later tonight. Geez!

Jen415. im with ya on the crunches, i cant do anything that involves jumping!

Holy, for me that burns 13 cal per minute. If only I could do 270 minutes of them, that's how much I have to do to lose 1 pound.
Hmm... I didn't time it though. I kept having to take breaks. Boy did those jugs of mine bounce. I can call them that as I'm breastfeeding :bb: :lol:
Hope saying that doesn't get me in trouble, I've heard there are some touchy subjects that get kicked off this site. I not really worried though.

I did it today. It was pretty tough, but I added it onto the end of my workout. I'm glad I did!!

Did my 200 before work this morning. I think I'm actually a little sore in my arms from yesterday's????

Good Morning
I did 30 JJ and thought I'd best do crunches before my breasts hit the floor!
happy jumping
