Everyone wants to stay fit, it’s hardly possible to find people who would say that they would like to avoid being fit. When our body is in shape then our health condition is also getting better, which nowadays is unfortunately still a problem for many of us. Often we don’t have much time to exercise so many of us wonder if doing 50 jumping jacks a day is good enough.

Jumping jacks are perfect exercises if you want to lose some additional body fat and also build muscles, but doing 50 jumping jacks a day will definitely let

you burn some calories which will result in losing body fat, but it might be not enough to build muscle mass. It highly depends on your current body build and the quality of your jumping jacks, later I will show you a full table where you will be able to see if your goal are real.

Are 50 jumping jacks a day not enough?

If you decided to do 50 jumping jacks a day that is a very good sign because that means that you want to do something positive for your body but doing 50 jumping jacks is not a lot for most people. It highly depends on your current body mass, so if you are overweight then a single jumping jack can be very exhausting and it will also burn way more calories than a single jumping jack of a person who is in the normal range of BMI.

50 jumping jacks can be divided into 2 sets of around 25 jumping jacks each. Most people do a single jumping jack in around 1 second so a single set of 25 jumping jacks will take about 30 seconds. After every set you should take from 30 to 90 seconds to rest before starting another set, so doing 50 jumping jacks a day will take you around 2 minutes in total which is not a lot.

We highly recommend you add more different types of exercises into your workout routine. Because the fastest way of showing your abs is losing your belly fat.

What are the results after doing 50 jumping jacks a day?

jumping jacks are going to help you build muscle mass and also lose some fat. Even doing 50 jumping jacks a day can give you a lot of great results, but the most important thing will be how many days are you going to repeat this process.

Because doing it for only a week won’t change your look drastically, but doing it for a few months will definitely change your appearance. Even an easy workout routine can get you into shape if you are consistent enough! Remember that you have to burn more calories than you intake to see any changes in your total weight. Doing it consistently for a few months can let you expose your abs or make your legs look stronger. Burning calories is the fastest way to expose your abs.

How many calories you might burn doing jumping jacks?

We prepared a calorie table of jumping jacks below that will give you the overall perspective of how many calories you will be able to burn while doi

ng jumping jacks. I divided the table by the person’s weight to give you more details.

Weight	Calories burned per minute of jumping jacks
Underweight	8 calories
Normal weight	10 calories
Overweight	13 calories

Note that weight is based on the BMI range, and also calories above are based on good quality jumping jacks. So if you do 50 jumping jacks a

day and you do them in 2 sets of 25 and they are 30 seconds long each then that means that you are burning around 10 calories per day. It’s not a lot but if you will do it consistently for one month then you will lose around 300 calories in total which is worth a single small meal.

If you would like to burn more calories while doing jumping jacks then you have a lot of potential options:

• Slowing down jumping jacks – Slowing down every single jumping jack can make it way harder for you, which ends up in burning more calories.
• Doing more sets of jumping jacks
• Adding more different exercises to your workout routine

Are jumping jacks safe?

We should avoid injuries, but there is no 100% guarantee that you are able to avoid them. Jumping jacks are one of the safest exercises due to their simplicity and the fact that your obstacle is only your body’s weight, so your body should be already used to its weight.

If you are worried about your joints then you should definitely consider working out on slightly softer flooring like for example fitness mats, to reduce the pressure that is put on your joints while doing jumping jacks. Also falling on that fitness mat is very likely to prevent you from most injuries.
