Okay for crunches you lie on your back with you knees bent and you go up and down that is 1 crunch. A lunge you have to stand with you feet hip width apart and take a big step forward and go down then come back up and repeat with the other leg. For a jumping jack you stand straight and jump your legs out to the side and lift you arms until you hands touch and jump back into place that is 1 jumping jack. Hope this helps. Talk to you later.
