How to Properly Execute Jumping Jacks for Maximum Results

Jumping jacks are a great cardiovascular exercise that can be done almost anywhere without any equipment. Here's how to do them:

Stand up straight with your feet together and your arms at your sides.

Jump up and simultaneously spread your legs apart shoulder-width apart while raising your arms above your head.

Jump back to the starting position by bringing your feet together and lowering your arms to your sides.

Repeat steps 2-3 for the desired number of repetitions or time.

Tips:

Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise.

Try to land softly on the balls of your feet to minimize impact on your joints.

If you have any knee or joint problems, it's best to consult with a doctor before performing jumping jacks.

Increase the intensity of the exercise by adding a plyometric jump, which involves jumping as high as you can and then immediately going into the next repetition.

Start with a few sets of 10-20 repetitions and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the exercise.
