“I get to do a lot of cool things, but this is really exciting. I never thought in my entire life that I would be here today to break a Guinness World Record.”
Between 3 p.m. ET October 11, 2011 and 3 p.m. ET October 12, 2011, jumping around will be going on and all you have to do is one minute of jumping jacks!
