1000 Jumping Jacks A Week!

[Heather.Marie89 1]

Ok so I work out for the most part 5 days a week and sometimes twice a day!

I've gone from 225 to 142 and have had a baby in between that!

I've heard that doing 10 reps of 100 jumping (1000 total) jacks in a week will make you lose 1 pound a week ( of course with a good diet and such) I just wanted to see if any of you all have tried or heard of this! I guess it's worth a shot I did my first rep tonight!!

Thanks!

Id highly doubt it. It might at first if youre very sedentary, but it wouldnt burn enough calories to get rid of a pound in and of itself without diet, and your nody would adapt very quickly. Thats not a lot of exercise in total. I run 10kms or more a couple of times a week, do a couple of spin classes and one or two Body Pumps as well and these days thats just for maintenance. I find it takes an hour of hard cardio at least five days a week to mke maintenance eay for me.

Well I've done mine and the scale has moved .8 lbs which isn't much but it's something for 2 days of doing it lol! It's something new for my body so it could just be reacting to it.

Yep body pump, spin, Nike fit.. I do them all

You do 10 reps of 100 each day? So 1000 a day... not a week? Or am I reading it wrong?

Congrats on the .8!

I am going to try this.

1000 a DAY might do something.

I had to try it, I did 100, it took about two minutes. Nuff said.

Ya it doesn't take long (which made me question it) - it was just a little article I had seen on doing 1000 a week doesn't matter how it's broken up. But who knows!!
