    This was much harder than it sounded. I ended up doing it in 2 groups of 25. Made me way more aware of how out of shape I actually am. Thank heavens for Kashi cereals and bars that fill me up till lunch time so I don’t snack at work!

    whoa boy! I forgot how strenuous jumping jacks can be. My heart is definitely pumping. I should try these at work to wake myself up :)

    Okay so did the 50 and now I know I need to do this every day I can! that was harder than I thought it would be. Shins were yelling at me and got a mild case of jello legs for a couple of minutes. Will have to work on that!!!

    What’s the difference between a jumping jack and a snow angel, really? Just lie on the ground and do that instead. It’s a lot safer.

    WOW! I am a new mom and just cleared to resume my regular activity (which did not include exercise). I decided that exercised needed to become part of my “regular activity”. I did 70 JJ’s and wow did my calves burn! I am going to make it a point to do 70 JJ’s everyday and more and more everyday. I am actually excited about this!

    Try the go-lean foods. In fact all of it is good for you. You need to excersise. Try weights, walking (fast) go with the balls. yoga etc. You may start off slow but you will get to where you want to be. It is not all of what you eat, it is your portion sizes.
