Is it possible to do too many jumping jacks, and can I do them in rest days?
I am not good at rope-jumping so in order to warm up before my medium intensity training (some push-ups, some ab activities, etc) I do jumping jacks, sometimes up to 150 of them. I count every move, one for opening legs one for closing them.
Is it possible to do too many jumping jacks? Can I do them in rest days? Do they interfere with my muscle recovery?

Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a great way to intuitively gauge your workouts. RPE works on a scale of 1 - 10 with one being almost no exertion and 10 be the max exertion you can endure. For warming up you should try to keep around 2 or 3 which (for me) equates to carrying in a load of groceries.
Measure your jumping jacks by this scale and you'll be in a good place to judge whether or not it is too much.
