A combination of running in place and jumping jacks, this exercise boosts cardiovascular fitness and coordination. It targets both the upper and lower body, providing a balanced workout. The running motion enhances leg strength while the arm movements during the jack jump engage the shoulder and core muscles.

How to do it

  1. Begin by running in place, lifting your knees to waist height.
  2. Maintain an upright posture and engage your core muscles for stability.
  3. Transition into a jump jack by extending your legs and raising your arms overhead.
  4. Land softly and resume running in place, repeating the cycle.
