    Go into the Exercise Tab.....select Add exercise .....then cardiovascular...search jump....select Jumping Jacks & put in the time it took you to do them

    Calorie burn estimates are dependent upon, height, weight, age, gener, exertion level & more .....MFP can't know your exertion level......so this is just a guess.

    Maybe 10? It would take about a minute and 20 seconds to do them.

    I thought u was suppose to do 20 a minute. Mfp shows it being 11 calories a minute.

    Those are pretty slow jumping jacks.... I'd think it would be about double that. 40-50 jacks per minute (depending on how fast/exertion). If you think of/do one jumping jack as a 1 second tick, then it would be 60 in a minute. In which cast 1 1/2 minutes to 2 minutes would be appropriate for 100 jacks. Either way, it really doesn't burn that many calories.
