Reply from Taylor, Age 15 - 02/02/09 - IP#: 75.66.64.xxx Yeah, but an HOUR of jumping jacks... isn't that boring? I mean, you could do less than an hour, but if you're only doing a few at a time, you're not burning near as much, because it's getting your heart rate up and KEEPING it up that burns the most calories, so most of those 500 is probably in the latter 50 minutes of the jumping jacks. A few at a time won't burn much, just FYI. But overall sounds like you're doing well with exercises. If you like jumping jacks, you should try jump rope. I mean, you can learn all sorts of cool tricks and stuff.
