Cardio moves: Jumping Jacks

Exercise: Jumping Jacks
Equipment: No equipment
Movement Type: Cardio
Body Focus: Total Body

Start in a standing position legs together and hands by your side, and jump into a wide leg position raising the hands up simultaneously. Make sure you land with a cushioned knee position and the knee stays in line with your toes. The move becomes a dynamic cardio exercise in which you can control the intensity of the size of the jumps. Your landing leg position is very important for protecting the knee joint. If you find this movement too hard initially you can regress to a half-jack strider. If you want to progress you can do so with fast jumping jacks.
