How to do a jumping jack

  1. Stand tall with feet together and arms by your sides.
  2. Bend your knees slightly and jump, spreading your feet wider than shoulder-width.
  3. Simultaneously raise your arms out and up overhead.
  4. Jump again, bringing your feet back together and lowering your arms to your sides.
  5. Repeat the movement at a steady, controlled pace.

Form tips

  • Land softly on the balls of your feet to absorb impact.
  • Keep your core engaged and maintain an upright posture throughout.
  • Coordinate arm and leg movements for a smooth rhythm.
  • Breathe steadily and avoid locking your knees on landing.
