Hey Everybody,
I found out that for every two jumping jacks you burn on calorie. So as a challenge i thought i could do at least 1000 a day therefor burning 500 hundred calories and with the right food intake burn 1 pound in 7 days. Its because if one pound is 3500 calories and you burn one calorie with every two jumping jacks then if you do 1000 for seven days you burn 3500 calorie or one pound starting next week on Monday. who is with me!!!!

    Wow!! That is awesome!! I find at my current weight, jumping is hard. I didn't know that until I tried one day. I was so embarrassed. I will at least consider it...lol :blushing:

    I had a 12 1/2 lb. baby years ago- I can't do 1000 jumping jacks without a diaper LOL! I am starting "200 squats" program though- google it. You might not burn mega calories but your legs and butts will look great!

    Lol I'm with Glenner. Before I do 30DS I always empty my bladder completely! Good luck to all who participate! Sounds like a great idea!

    I don't know if that 1calorie per 2 jumping jacks is exactly valid. A HRM would be more effective.

    I think I'll give it a go :) I think 1000 a day might require a new bra though :laugh:

    I'm in.............Not sure I could do the 1000 a day, but I'm am curious to see what I can do and compare that number to what my HRM says I've burned.

    Count me in! Is there a check in day or something and when does it end, etc? Or is it just try and report when able? Sounds FUN!
