Jumping Jacks

If you only have a few minutes to get your heart pumping, Haley recommends jumping jacks to get your oxygen and blood flowing. Try one of these variations to reap the cardiac-tastic benefits.

Traditional Jumping Jack

Start with legs together and knees soft with arms down at your sides. Push off both feet at the same time to open legs up wide into a small squat with your arms above your head. Always make sure you land toe to heel to help protect your feet, knees, and everything on up. Repeat for 30 to 60 seconds.

Single Jack

Alternate traditional jumping jacks with ones where you hop on one leg (like you're playing hop scotch). Keep the same arm movements as a regular jumping jack. Repeat for 30 to 60 seconds.

Jack Turn

Alternate traditional jumping jacks with a jump that turns your body 90 degrees, alternating to the right and then left side. Repeat for 30 to 45 seconds.

Jack & Tuck

Alternate traditional jumping jacks with a tuck jump, bringing your knees to your chest. Repeat for 20 to 30 seconds.
