How many can you do before becoming exhausted?

The calorie burn is intense, I dare you to try it!

I did 4 minutes worth, which was just over 250.

    That's a good challenge. I'll have to take it up one of these days. Running stairs and Jumping rope are two other exercises that you can do for a few minutes and it will kick your *kitten* and give you a good burn.

    When I go running I actually wear a bra a cup size too small for me (the lady at La Senza says it gives me 4 boobs...but I don't care), and a sports bra., I find it holds them in place.

    We do a lot of 'jacks in the Kickboxing class I do but have never counted. (The instructor is a former amature boxer and builds around that training I guess). I'm taking a few weeks off from this class due to doctors orders, but will count when I can start doing jacks again.

    Not tryin to change the subject, but on a different note, how about lunges? This same instructor had us do like 250-300 back and forth across the room in a class a couple weeks ago. My legs were torched for days!

    I will start a thread for that as well. I really want to compete. Sometimes I feel like the number doesn't matter if I can't share it with someone else that knows how hard it is.

    Is that 250 jumping jacks or did you burn 250 calories?

    I just did 270. It took me about five minutes and I burned 50 calories. I stopped because my calves started to get tight and I don't want to be sore tomorrow, but I definitely thought I'd burn more than that! It will actually be about 44 when I subtract my BMR. Guess that's what happens when you do 30 Day Shred Level 1 so many times.

    Yeah, I ran it through the database too, so I figured I must have misread the OP. :)
