How to do Jumping Jacks
Setup
Stand upright with feet together and arms relaxed at your sides. Keep your core engaged and maintain a tall posture throughout the movement.
How to do it
- Jump both feet out wide while simultaneously raising arms overhead in one fluid motion
- Land softly on the balls of your feet with knees slightly bent
- Jump feet back together while lowering arms to your sides
- Maintain a steady, rhythmic pace and breathe continuously throughout
- Keep your core tight and avoid excessive forward lean
Watch out for
- Landing heavily on flat feet instead of absorbing impact with bent knees
- Holding breath or breathing irregularly during repetitions
- Allowing shoulders to hunch forward or losing upright posture
