5 minutes of jumping jacks!

I'm at 3.5 stairs. :D
I'm going to research that foot disease everyone teases me about having…. I think it has something to do with my spring.

We……don't have stairs. :P

@Jordan: I'm going to try that. One thing is though are stairs are super steep!
@All: Stand against a counter for support and then lift your left (or right) arm AND leg and then spin them different directions…it is super hard.

I DID IT!!! :D Yeah, that is hard, but I've always been able to do that arm thing (spin the arms around in opposite direction without a problem), so that's probably why it was a bit easier.

Here's the hint: Make sure your brain is ready first. :P

I did it too - I thought it was a little hard, but like same as you, I've never really had trouble at all with spinning my arms in the opposite direction, so this was also a bit easier. :-)

How do you do sit ups? Do you have something to hold your feet down?

I'm going to try the jumping jacks and stair thing! :D :P (but not right now!)

That stair thing is really dangerous!! Lol I'd try it but my mom would be like 'what are you doing!?!?!?!??!??!!!???!??!?!!'

I think my mom would be like that too. :)

I actually tried the 'stair thing' right before lunch - which also happened to be right before Mom got home…..:-) She probably would've said something similar to that. I almost got to the fourth step, but had to grab the railing before I fell backward :}

Yo Jojo! I'll try that when I get home. But to prove I can to it better, I'll do it with both hands behind my head! Sound good?

Lol

That's why I said it's probably a bad idea!! Lol :)

BTW Jojo, I did 7 steps! Woo hoo, woo hoo! And without losing my balance or breaking a sweat! 1st time too!

gasps for breath This is the most cruel…….unjust punishment……ever!!
Haven't tried the steps thing…I know I would kill myself. :P

(LOL…I am sooo loving this nickname. :P)

Bleh. I'm not trying anything else until I get over this terrible cold. I feel like I got hit by a truck today!

:( I feel like I got run over by a truck!! Only he only ran over my legs, so they don't work .:P

okay and my arms too…I'm beginning to not be able to move those either.

So did you do the five min??? ;)

That's exactly how I felt yesterday. All I did was play Sudoku. (And practice viola for a little bit and do a Greek lesson, but those two combined only took less than an hour.)
And I don't think I'm going to take the jumping jack challenge today…I did it once before and got really hot and really tired.

LOL! I could barely practice violin. I had to lean against the dresser and then I was like, "I'm done practicing!"

I even took a nap.

Wow…
I only got 5 or so hours of sleep last night, but I woke up and was feeling just fine and I was like, "I should be feeling sick still, since didn't get much sleep either yesterday or just now."

I did the stair thing, and I jumped 3 steps. It's really hard! :P I almost fell back.

Yeah, be careful about that.
Jordan!!! Are you willing to pay any Doctor bills out there!?!

Hmm… I got to come up with a really good challenge here… But not until I'm fully better.
I hope that will be soon. We are playing a Mother's Concert on Thursday… so I kind of have to be better. We already took vocals out because everyone's voice went down! :D

Our stairs are carpeted, but it hurts to fall down them anyway.
I can go up stairs 3 at a time…depending on how shallow/steep they are. I started on doing 2 at a time a couple years ago, and last year I was like, "I could get up so much faster 3 at a time…" and so now I do. It only takes me 6 steps to get upstairs now, as opposed to 9.
Does anyone else jump down the last few steps? The most I've ever cleared was 11. My brother threw a live cricket at me, and I was afraid of them at the time. I was about 8, and he was 6.

It sounds like you are leaping up the stairs. The challenge is to jump form two feet onto two feet. ;)
I always go up/down the stairs two to three at a time. :)

Whoa! That's crazy!

I'll be right back; I'm going to go test out how many I can jump two-feet-to-two-feet. ;-D

Be careful!
:P

Two-feet-to-two-feet I can do 3. One foot at a time (I have to stretch a good bit) the maximum is 5. Bummer. I was hoping it would be 6, and I could get up with only three steps!

I can almost do 4. I have to work on it though. ;)

So you have to keep your feet together?!?!

I have to grab onto the railing to keep from losing my balance when I'm going up 5 at a time, because I can BARELY reach! (I am really, really bad at splits.)

I don't keep my feet together the whole time with the two-feet-to-two-feet (I'll just call it 2-2-2). My right foot leaves the ground a little bit late. Or I would probably only be able to do 2.
(BTW, I'll be back on later, but I'm going to be gone for a bit.)

BTW Jomo, how is this Parkour? Wouldn't we be running outside, and jumping over cars, and running up walls for this to be Parkour?

@Carissa: I tried it and can do it! :D

Lol IKR? :) it's not like we r in an office or outside jumping on trash cans either!! Lol :P

Hahahaha! Well… this is just the training!

Yes, Bethany, i pretty much did five minutes. :P

"Pretty much"?
Sly wording there. :P

As i said, Sammy… this is training…. Here's the real test! ;) J/K

Oh yeah…. and that's me!

Great job Eden!! I still have to do the stair thing.

Yes, I thought it was pretty sly. ;)
@Jordan: I used to be able to do stuff like that. I am sadly not-flexible anymore. :(

How come I always think about doing my jumping jacks after eat?! :P

Same here. If I were you…I'd keep doing that. It's a very inhumane punishment. I'm so sore I can hardly walk. :P

I just did the stair jump thing, and I could only do four! :( I don't want to do the jumping jacks until I've completely recovered from this cold.

Actually, you don't want to do them at all! :P

Actually, I do!

lol…guys….. :P

@Ian: Well after your cold is gone you absolutely have to try them. They are so much fun!
