Jumping Jacks

This one is an oldie but a goodie.  Jumping Jacks are a great exercise to do if you have limited space and need to get your heart rate up. 

Jumping jacks can be used as a warm up or as active rest in between sets of another exercise.

2. Bend your knees slightly, and jump into the air
3. As your jump, spread your legs to be about shoulder-width apart. 
4. Stretch your arms out and over your head 
5. Jump back to starting position 
6. Repeat for three to four sets of 20 seconds-1minute
