Way to go jumpers! With your help, National Geographic Kids has broken the Guinness World Record for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period! Between 3 p.m. on October 11 and 3 p.m. on October 12, 300,265 jumpers all over the world took part in the event--far surpassing the existing record of 20,425! Watch a special video from Michelle Obama.
To kick off the event, we joined First Lady and "Jumper in Chief" Michelle Obama and 464 Washington-area kids in one minute of continuous jumping jacks on the White House lawn. Check us out!
This is National Geographic Kids' 5th Guinness World Record. Hooray for us! Stay tuned for our next Guinness World Records attempt!

A big thank you to everyone around the world who jumped for one minute during our global attempt to break the Guinness World Record for most people doing jumping jacks!
A special thank you to First Lady Michelle Obama, her staff, Al Roker, Michelle Kwan, Cornell McClellan, Ann Curry, and the TODAY show for giving the jump their time and attention!
If you jumped, please make sure your group sends in the required documentation by Oct. 26 to: National Geographic KIDS / Jumping Jacks

Guinness will take our final tally and make the determination on whether we broke the record or not. This could take several months.
In the meantime, become a member of NG Kids My Shot and upload photos of jumping jacks and tag them lets jump and you can receive the Jumping Jack badge.
Keep jumping on your own! It's a great way to exercise your whole body. If you do jumping jacks for one minute each day and then add a few minutes each day, you'll be able run faster, jump higher, and hike farther.
