- Jessica Figueroa: Hello, listeners. We are back here this morning with our Just For Today podcast. And today we are going to jump in place 50 times. That's it. We are going to jump in place 50 times. This will take you about a minute. And it seems like a simple habit, but it has massive benefits. And that's what this podcast is all about. It's about doing little things that seem little on their own, but they add up to such big things. Okay. So One minute of jumping in place, about 50 jumps. You don't need a jump rope. You're just gonna stand in place and jump about 50 times. It's gonna get your heart pumping. It's gonna support your bone health. It's gonna strengthen your legs. Even just this is gonna strengthen your calves, your quads, your hamstrings, your glutes. It's gonna increase your alertness, gonna wake you up a little bit. It's gonna help regulate your blood sugar. It's gonna improve your circulation, obviously. It's gonna enhance your balance and coordination. It's gonna boost your mood because you're gonna feel good. It's like a like an adrenaline shot. It's gonna burn some calories, not much, but it is gonna burn some. But the benefit of getting into the habit of jumping in place and doing it just 50 times is one of those little things that we talk about. This little thing. And if you got in the habit and four times throughout the day, you spent one minute here, one minute there, one minute here, one minute there, four minutes a day doing this four times a day. over a long period of time massively benefits you guys. I remember one of my grandmas used to be this and I I am still this person. I randomly do lunges, I randomly do exercises. I'm not someone that is as nearly fit as I'd like to be. But my grandma was like this. We'd be sometimes in a store and she would just bust out some jumping jacks. I remember being so thinking I was just so random. But I picked up on it. Sometimes I'm just standing in place and I just elevate my feet, get a little calf workout in. We are constantly having this downtime places, but we're not doing anything with it. And we could be improving our body and how our body functions with very little extra effort. But we just need this new habit. So just for today, we're going to jump in place, pretending like you have a jumping rope, but you don't have to do the hand motions, about 50 jumps. Just count to 50. That's it. That's it. I just want you to do it for today. See how you feel. If you're feeling spicy. Maybe do it twice today, but I at least want you to get once in, okay? And try to build it in a time where you would be maybe you're waiting for the water to boil for dinner. Jump in place 50 times. That's it, guys, just for today.
