Jumping Jacks

I recently started doing these every afternoon. After reading up on this I learned why I enjoy it. It takes coordination and raises your heartbeat.

If you can, try it and tell me what you think.

Have a great weekend and beautiful Sabbath.

All my best,

Leslie

If you can stretch on a tree like you showed us, I'm sure you would do

If you think you will hurt yourself, it's not worth it.

I can only do jumping jacks with my right leg because my left leg has a mind of its own. As a matter of fact, so do I! Enjoy your weekend! :-D

Is that called "hopping?"

carolek572CommunityAmbassador in reply to greaterexp

The way that I do it, well, you can call it hopping! :-D

And I'm French to boot! LMAOROTF! :-D

MS_Indestructible profile image
MS_Indestructible in reply to carolek572

so what are the differences by being French? you know, the "to boot" part?

carolek572 profile image
carolek572CommunityAmbassador in reply to MS_Indestructible

I don't know!

MS_Indestructible profile image
MS_Indestructible in reply to carolek572

either way, great answer. The French part did get my attention though. Maybe it was a French Boot!

carolek572CommunityAmbassador in reply to MS_Indestructible

Since you were on the subject of hopping, no one knows hopping better than the French, after all, they are all a bunch of ribbit, ribbits! :-D

MS_Indestructible profile image
MS_Indestructible in reply to carolek572

Then I must be French too, LOL

Together we could do one, your right, my left.? 🤭

I’m ready , now on the count of 3 or trios as you say in Quebec . Legs first, just so we are on the same page 👍

jimeka in reply to carolek572

I’m speaking to myself 😂 🤣

carolek572 profile image
carolek572CommunityAmbassador in reply to jimeka

Oh, but I understand so well, my friend! Don't stand too close to me as I might trip you while doing these jumping jacks! And speak louder so I don't have to stand so close, okay? Don't you mean that we are both on the same leg, and not page? Are you doing these jumping jacks properly? Because I am doing them the way that you're doing them, right? Or left? :-D

jimeka profile image
jimeka in reply to carolek572

Let’s start at the very beginning. It’s a very good place to start. 🎶 now altogether now

carolek572 profile image
carolek572CommunityAmbassador in reply to jimeka

Starting with the left or the right side? :-D

lbenmaor profile image
lbenmaor in reply to carolek572

I knew we had something in common!

carolek572 profile image
carolek572CommunityAmbassador in reply to lbenmaor

Both of us would be 'hopping' in circles? :-D

I briefly dated a guy who would skip with me. We thought it was hilarious. I'm surprised we weren't put in straight jackets. But it's actually great exercise, as are jumping jacks! Great idea...if I could only do them now. I'd love to see the video of you doing them.

lbenmaor profile image
lbenmaor in reply to greaterexp

The video might scare you!

greaterexp profile image
greaterexp in reply to lbenmaor

Not nearly as much as a video of me doing them!

carolek572 profile image
carolek572CommunityAmbassador in reply to greaterexp

Are you sure that you're doing them correctly, lbenmaor and greaterexp ? :-D

lbenmaor profile image
lbenmaor in reply to carolek572

I believe I am.

greaterexp profile image
greaterexp in reply to carolek572

Believe me, I'm not doing them at all!

lbenmaor profile image
lbenmaor in reply to greaterexp

I'm sure your pretty hair will help you look like you know what you're doing.

greaterexp profile image
greaterexp in reply to lbenmaor

If I need pretty hair to do anything, I'm in big trouble.

Good for you! I am lucky to walk let alone jump!

lbenmaor profile image
lbenmaor in reply to SueAB

You're blessed that you can walk.

ha, my timing if off, and the vertigo has me bouncing off walls. I could hurt myself

lbenmaor profile image
lbenmaor in reply to MS_Indestructible

Not a good idea to try it.

Don't you have the bubble suit that jimeka provided you with? :-D

MS_Indestructible profile image
MS_Indestructible in reply to carolek572

never got one, I think. I have padded walls so I could try, when I feel safe

carolek572 profile image
carolek572CommunityAmbassador in reply to MS_Indestructible

Don’t forget to do it on a rubber floor, so you can get extra bounce in your step! :-D

MS_Indestructible profile image
MS_Indestructible in reply to carolek572

good idea!

Ibenmaor Jumping Jacks? I have never, ever been able to do these because I couldn't coordinate the movements. Arms alone, yes. Legs alone, sort of. Arms and legs together, nah, no way. In high school, my PE teacher made fun of me, mocking my lack of coordination. Now I wonder if I was just naturally a klutz or if MS nerve damage was beginning.

Great exchange there guys! U r all bat sh@t crazy aren’t you?!

I think u have to be to survive the nonsense of MS! The jumping jacks idea is ace - even if some of us only manage by hanging on to the sofa!

Getting hearts pumping does get the white blood cells moving - which is very good for us whichever way you look at it, or do it!

Thanks for cheering me up! Have a goodun everyone ✨😂❤️🌈🧜‍♀️❤️✨
