Can I get enough cardio exercise by doing jumping jacks?
Visit the official Cardio Twister Website
If so, how many/ how long would I have to do it to get the equivalent of running a mile? Thanks for the help. I’m trying to be able to do all of my exercise in my room. (push ups, sit ups, and i need a cardio so i can cut the fat).
Depends on how much you weigh, I put a chart (guessing at 150 lbs) for Jumping jacks and Jumping rope, rope is far better if you have the ceiling height in your room as it is really close to running a mile. Use this website for any activity, even sleeping and see what you burn.

If your working out in your room, why not a jump rope? Boxers use this for a great cardio workout.
