edited October 7 in Fitness and Exercise
Today's challenge is: Jumping Jacks

Let's see if we can do: 200

You have until midnight to get them done.
The important thing is that you try to do them.
Make sure you stretch and have fun doing them.
Report back when you are done and let us know how you did.

My challenges are open to anyone and you can log these as calisthenics.

    Ughhhh I hate you... well I hate jumping jacks but ok, I'll do it. Going to try and do this challenge every day. I really do hate jumping jacks though so I'm going to have to split them up!

    Done but man that was hard! Split them into sets of 25, took a little break between each one to recover. Knew that if I didn't get them done now I wouldn't as I'm out later. Killer challenge today! Thanks for doing these btw :)

    It took me 3 minutes and 27 seconds. But I could only log 3 minutes. By the way, I did stop in between for 10 seconds after each 50 Jumping Jacks, but I did stop the clock also each time.

    I think I'm in. I have to check with my physical therapist to see if that is an allowed move. Not the movement part so much as the jumping part.
