Coaching Cues

• Begin with the feet together and arms by the sides.
• Jump the feet wide as the arms travel overhead.
• Land softly through the balls of the feet.
• Keep the knees tracking over the toes.
• Step side to side instead of jumping for a lower-impact option.

Optional Notes
A classic full-body cardio exercise that raises the heart rate quickly. Use stepping jacks when a low-impact variation is preferred.
