I was watching the Biggest Loser the other night (we are two weeks behind your programs) anyways, Jillian said that for every minute of jumping jacks you lose 10 calories. Hummmm, sounded easy, so the other day I thought I will do five minute jumping jacks through out the day. Wasn't so easy....I couldn't even do a minute. My calves started hurting, my feet....so that is my goal, to be able to do five minutes of jumping jacks...just think five minutes = 50 calories.
With that being said, this week I have been keeping up with my ab workout with Denise Austin, Richard Simmons Power Cords and walking. Last night I walked 3 3/4 miles, we would have walked longer but we had to be at the church to measure people for the Stake Christmas play. Oh well.... One problm I am having is, it is soooooooooooooo hot here in Samoa. We are going into our summer. So I have to do my exercising first thing in the moring because in the middle of the day....too hot.
Tomorrow I am going paddling (rowing). So where can I go to find out how many calories I burn with rowing for an hour? Or walking for an hour? Anyone know?

Those sound like some great activities!!! I'll have to try the jumping jacks thing too! I've heard of similar results with jumping rope.
The site I use all the time for calories burned is
