First lady Michelle Obama led hundreds of local children in doing one minute of jumping jacks on the South Lawn of the White House Tuesday in an effort to jump right into Guinness World Records.
Mrs. Obama’s aim: To help break the title for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period. To accomplish that, more than 20,000 people around the world will need to do jumping jacks for a minute. The event on the South Lawn signaled the beginning of the daylong challenge.
