Jumping Jacks: The gym-class classic: Stand with feet together, then jump, separating legs. Land with feet hip-width apart as you raise arms overhead. Jump feet back together and lower arms; repeat.
Jumping Rope: Do a basic boxer’s shuffle or two-footed jump. Stay on the balls of your feet, jump close to the floor, keeping elbows by your sides.
Squat Jumps: With feet hip-width apart, bend your knees, lowering hips to squat; jump into the air by pushing off and straightening your legs, lifting arms upward. Land softly and repeat.
Split Jumps: Stand in split stance – one foot ahead of you, one foot behind. Bend both knees and jump, switching legs to land; pump arms in opposition to legs as you continue to alternate legs with each jump.
High Jog in Place:
Lifting knees high up in front of you as you jog in place, swing arms naturally in opposition. Land softly, ball of foot to
heel.
