1. Begin standing up straight with your legs spread more than hip width apart, and your arms above your head and spread to the sides. Your body will make an X shape.

2. Begin jumping, and pull your arms and legs in toward your body so that your arms are above your head and your legs land straight underneath you.

3. On the next jump return your body to the start position, with arms and legs creating an X shape again. Remember not to let your arms fall all the way down to your side. Focus on form and keeping tension in your arms, legs and core while you do these jumping jacks.

4. Complete 10-15 repetitions before taking a break, or set a timer and complete as many as you can in a set period. Repeat as your ability allows.

Primary muscles: Glutes, Quadriceps and Hip Flexors
Secondary muscles: Shoulders and Core
