HEY YOU GUYS! A good thing to do is jumproping. I'm 148 pounds, and i do 1000 jumps (which takes me 15 minutes) and i burn aprox. 169 calories. The 1000 jumps aren't as hard as they seem. So eventually, I'm going to work up to 2000 jumps. I listen to music while i jump. And if you do this, make sure you're outside and have lotls of space (maybe at 6:00 in the morning on your front sidewalk/proch.) It makes it hard when you have a ceiling above you. it makes you think you're going to hit something. Now i'm only 148, and i know a lot of you are over that. For 175 lbs in 15 mins. you burn aprox. 200 cals. For 200 lbs in 15 mins. you burn aprox. 228 cals. not that's just 15 minutes! Try it and post on the board if you did.

How long have you been jumping? I'm gonna start doing that to! Sounds like a good idea...

I do the same thing except I do it in my room while listening to music. It is really fun and easy to do, but it can get boring if you do it for more than 30 minutes and also it can get you out of breath to. So have a glass of water with you to keep ypu hydrated.
