Refer to the image below to see how to do this exercise with the correct form.

How-to:

The key to doing this exercise properly is making sure that your hands clap above your head and that your feet are slightly pointed outwards. Do the movement as fast as you can in the time you've chosen, depending on your level.

You can add weights to this exercise by adding sand or pebbles to a pair of old socks and holding on to them or tying them to a belt; the more socks you hold, the harder it will be.

MODIFICATIONS

Jumping Jacks are a cardio-based exercise and are great for lifting your heart rate.

But they can also be hard on your knees. If you find a standard jumping jack difficult to do, follow these options instead.

#1: Rather than jumping, step side to side instead. You can do this as fast or as slow as you wish. One repetition is a step each side. Still raise your arms, but instead of raising them out to the side, simply raise them straight up.

#2: If you find raising your arms too hard, lift them halfway instead and slowly increase how high your raise them every time you do jumping jacks.

Alternative Exercise: Instead of doing a full jumping jack, replace the exercise by marching in place. You can march as fast or as slow as you like. Make sure to swing your arms as well, to get the most out of this easier option.
