This exercise targets: calves, hamstrings, quadriceps, glutes, shoulders, hips, back muscles and abdominals
For this exercise, you will need: no equipment
Stand up straight with your feet together and let your arms hang down by your sides.
Jump just off of the ground and spread your legs, while quickly raising your arms high up over your head until your hands almost touch.
Bring your feet back together while quickly lowering your arms back down to your sides to finish the first jumping jack repetition.
Tips:
This workout encourages a cardiovascular workout and involves almost every muscle in the body.
Jumping jacks require total body movement, including the legs and arms.
If you start to experience any pain in your shoulders, either slow down the pace of the jumping jacks or do not raise your arms quite as high.
Advanced: Wear wrist and ankle weights.
Weights will make it harder to perform jumping jacks at the same speed, so make sure that you still use proper form.
Don’t hold your breath.
Beginners: perform 1 set for 1 minute
Intermediate level: perform 2 sets for 1 minute; 2 minute pause between sets
Advanced level: perform 3 sets for 1 minute; 2 minute pause between sets
