Jumping jacks
How to do it
- Stand upright, with your feet together and your arms by your sides.
- Jump, simultaneously spreading your legs out to the sides and raising your arms overhead.
- Jump again, returning to the starting position, with your feet together and your arms by your sides.
- Repeat at a steady rhythm, landing softly on the balls of your feet.
Key to the execution: Land softly, on the balls of your feet, with your knees slightly bent.
Common mistakes
- You land heavily, flat-footed, with your knees locked.
- You don't sync your arms with your legs.
