Jumping Jacks Contest

[Pam]

No wussy ones, both legs both arms all at the same time. Post most you can do in a row. Sports bras encouraged.

Post best run Mondays.

I'm in!

back in the day we used to do j-jacks, lots and lots of them.

contests usually included marks on either side so the leg split was consistent.

once you get used to them, you can do then by the hundreds. kinda like jumping rope.

if you are not conditioned to them, you can hurt yourself.

abductors, adductors, calves.

shin splints.

be careful girls, have fun, but don't get hurt.

..forgot about posting this...made me put my sneakers on and go do it! Thx...I think.

[fish]

do wish my knees would let me in on this.

so, what is the jpm standard ?

any rule on width ?

have fun, ladies.

[Pam]

Naw, we're just jumping.

Comrotable jack..further out than shoulders, hands all the way up to the top.

[fish]

farther out than shoulders is pretty far.

shoulder width ?

hands light clap on thighs, light clap over head ?

i blush at stuff like this, but if you gals can aim to minimize your "upper torso movement" you will automatically reduce the impact of the exercise everywhere else.

respectfully suggest keep your feet low to the ground, move them quickly. other than that you have to get farther up in the air, increasing impact.

i wish i could still do this stuff.

LOL..Fish even as a kid I wasn't a jumper...my feet are always low to the ground!

[Pam]

Reminds me of the first time I jumped on our trampoline. I thought I was clearing it by a foot at least, kids said my feet barely off the mat. I'm with sue my feet are never far from the ground....unless I'm falling.
