Jumping Jack

How to do it

Stand with feet together and arms resting at your sides, knees soft and ready to move.
Jump the feet out wide while simultaneously raising the arms overhead in one fluid motion.
Jump the feet back together while lowering the arms back to the sides, landing softly through the calves.
Drive each jump through the quadriceps and glutes to keep the tempo light and springy.
Match a steady, repeatable cadence between the arm swing and the leg jump.
Keep landings soft and controlled, and avoid locking the knees on each touchdown, a common fault that increases impact through the legs.
