    Unless you have asthma or something, I don't believe that's normal, no. Normal is maybe if you would have said your legs hurt. You should speak to a doctor or some other medical professional about this

    I can see how your chest would hurt if you had bad form--when you say jump squat, I assume you mean this one:

    I've never had chest pain with it, but I don't do 100 of them at once with my routine. Am I correct in assuming you went 0-100 on this?

    But I'm not giving you medical advice here. If you think it needs medical attention, go to the doctor.

    By the way, if you are new to an exercise, don't try to crank them out! Do them to failure (the point where you can no longer maintain proper form) or do a small number of reps per set. Don't go "I'll do 100 of these" and then halfass 50-75 because you'll be in pain the next day and it won't be as effective.

    You did 100 jump squats! Of course you are going to feel it. Did you use your arms? Did you try relieving the pain with ibuprofen?

    If you had bad form, it's possible. You could also be having reflux like symptoms or abdominal pain if your core was engaged throughout. Don't mess with chest pain, though.

    Those look like You Are Your Own Gym's star jumpers. Eeeeviiil. And I agree with the advice about if you are new to an exercise, don't push it or you'll face injury.

    Not being a jerk but do your boobs hurt or is it your heart???
    I don't have any girls hanging off my chest so I don't know but I'd think jumping up 100 times repeatedly would make them sore
    If it's your heart, I'd make sure you're ok....monitor it closely

    The sternum? Chondrites. Sternum and ribs? Costochondritis. Inflammation of ribs/sternum.

    Try aspirin.

    When I googled the exercise, a few different variations came up. That's what they call "jump squat" in class.

    And yeah, I don't think I've done more than 12-15 at once! OP, I think you should go on youtube and look for Jessica Smith or Fitness Blender videos so you can get a more balanced exercise routine. Or if you really like this move for some reason, sprinkle it through your day.

    And to the dude who thinks titty DOMS is a thing, it isn't.

    A woman that isn't an A/B cup wouldn't really do a move like this without adequate support

    You're probably just sore. I wouldn't even see your doctor quiet frankly- but if it makes you feel better you can.
