Jumping Jax's

sincereme

So I have challenged my hubby to do jumping jaxs with me this week. I told him that during every commercial break we will get up and do jumping jaxs. He is down with it. Will keep you updated!!

Wish me luck!:laugh:

I do the same thing...but I alternate. Each commercial I do something different...crunches, push-ups, lunges, squats, bicep curls...ect.

right now I do housework on commercial breaks lol maybe Ill alternate between housework and exercise

Great idea!! Quite often I sit on my exercise mat on the floor and just spend my tv time stretching. I'm not a huge fan of sitting on my a** in front of the tv anyhow, :noway: and this way I can be in the same room as my bf, basically doing the same thing, just MY WAY!! :bigsmile:

I will be alternating as well but I just want to get use to the idea and get him use to the idea:laugh: As soon as we have this under control then I will add crnches, push up, lunges, squats, etc....lol

GREAT IDEAS! But I never watch TV. I think I need my dial up internet so I can do exercsies while my page loads! hehe

I'd do this, but I don't have a TV :laugh:

My family wouldn't survive. I have a 5 year old that loves watching animal planet. I only get to watch 2 shows a week though. NCIS and House MD and since it's over for now...I don't have anything to watch.

At first he was like " uhhh I don't know about that...blah blah.." :laugh: So I gave him my sad puppy eyes and said " You say you support me in my weightloss journey but when I ask for help you don't want to help me out. You know I need all the support I can get." Immediately he said " Ok starting monday I will join you....:laugh:

My only thought is do we track this as excersize or just do as a fun? I love the idea but because my heart rate is not high for longer then 60 seconds.

I wonder if there's a way to find out how many calories you burn while doing Jumping Jacks. I like to do them as a part of my work-out (they seem to work everything), but when I go to log my exercises for the day they're not in there. :grumble:

Ok so I calculated this on another site I use and this is what I got:


Calories Burned

I rarely watch TV. Well now the switch happened and I haven't bought my converter box so I can't watch TV even if I wanted to. lol

I usually watch my shows on hulu... except for BL cuz it takes hulu a freakin week to upload the episode and I can't ever wait that long (especially when everyone talks about it!). So I'll be out buying my coverter right before next season starts :laugh:
