Yep, last week I did 1500 jumping jacks in one week! Thank you Tazpooh for the awesome challenge!

I'm sure many of you have done some extraordinary physical challenges, so why is this significant for me? This time last year I was in such bad shape physically, that I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs or around the block without using an inhaler. Ok, I'm in better shape, so why do so many? Because I COULD!! Get ready MFP, here comes that G word: God gave me the strength to do it!! If I can do the 30 day shred and 1500 jumping jacks at 52 years old, you can do it too! So let's get moving and keep moving!

    Great Job!!! I like the reminder that we should be grateful for what our bodies can do when we are willing to get off our butts and do it! Keep up the great work!

    WOW! That is awesome. I am curious though about your sports bra. Do you wear two or one extra tight one..

    I am being serious too btw.. JJ suck and as soon as I read your title I immediately thought there is no way I could do 1500, my boobies would be soo sore!!

    Thanks, I used to have the same problem with jumping jacks! If you tighten your core while you're doing them it helps with the gotta go problem :smile:
