Here is one number I know: it takes walking or running 40 miles to burn 3500 calories (1 pound of fat).
So, that's about 100 calories a mile. It takes about 8 minutes to jog a mile, and I'm going to assume that jumping jacks are about as hard as running.
So that's 12 calories a minute, or one calorie every 5 seconds.
I just timed 4 jumping jacks and it took 5 seconds.
So, my answer is 4

It all depends on whether you are eating cookies while you do the jumping jacks or not!!
