I hope it's okay that I do this, but I'm going to challenge all team members to do as many jumping jacks as possible (whether it is 10 or 100) and then rest for 5-10 minutes and then do them again. Do this three times. It is not necessary to report back to me how many you've completed. The numbers don't matter to me.

I suck at jumping jacks and thought this is a good high enery impact exercise and will burn more fat than walking 30 minutes. I want to increase the number of jumping jacks that I am able to do. I just need to push myself harder. I am constantly thinking the following:

--I'm sweating
--My arms are going to fall off
--My kids are watching me...and laughing
--My boobs are bouncing too much
--My big picture window where everyone can watch me
--I just ate...I hope I don't get sick
--Maybe I'll just walk instead
--I'm tired
--I need to do laundry and/or dishes
--I've only done 15 jumping jacks????
--I think I'm going to die

I need to concentrate on reaching 50 jumping jacks....if I make it to 40, well at least it is still more than I used to do....then I need to do it two more times. Ugh! Here go again with the excuses. I just need to tell myself the following:

JUST DO IT!!!!

I had less than charming words that I really want to say, but I'll settle for Just Do It! I hope there are others that want to join my mini challenge. Good luck!
