So today I walked/jogged for 3.5 miles it took me 34 mins..However there was some uphill and very little downhill pavement.....
I also jumped rope 500 times taking 30 secs to catch my breath after umping every 100. It took me less than 5 mins...I can jump really fast...

It came out to about 245 calories burned....

My question is am i exercising enough? Or 30 mins is too little......I have been on this journey for about 20 days now....Yesterday I went way over (calorie count) today I started a new day.....

Every little bit helps, please let me know.....

    i would say listen to your body, i know thats cliche, but its true. Running in particular tells you when its time for a break, chin splints, sore knees etc will force you to take a break. If you are doing your routine everyday, and not seeing much benefit from the scale or improvement, step it up. If your current routine is taxing your joints and producing sore muscles, turn it down.

    Sounds like a good workout. 30-40 mins is good, if is a good intensity so runnign and jump rope det is good. Resistance work or weights is always good so try to add that in too. Doesn't need to be gym , can use your own body weight.
