How to do it

Maintain a brisk, continuous tempo so each rep flows into the next.

  1. 1

    Stand upright with your legs together and arms at your sides.

  2. 2

    Bend your knees slightly, and jump into the air.

  3. 3

    As you jump, spread your legs to be about shoulder-width apart. Simultaneously raise your arms out and over your head.

  4. 4

    Jump back to the starting position, lowering your arms to your sides.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your core engaged and land softly on the balls of your feet to reduce impact on your joints.
