One move
Jumping Jacks
How to read ahead. Do to go one move at a time.
Open the feet wide while the arms rise overhead, then return to stand. Land soft. A step out and in counts as the full move when jumping feels unfriendly.
Option. Couch-friendly: step one foot out, raise the arms, then step back in. No jump. Soft knees. Add a small jump only when the landing stays quiet.

-
1
Stand tall with feet together and arms by the sides. Soft knees. Brace the core lightly.
-
2
Step or jump the feet out to about shoulder-width while the arms rise overhead. Keep the ribs down — do not lean back.
-
3
Step or jump the feet back together as the arms return to the sides. Land on the mid-foot with quiet knees.
-
4
Keep a steady rhythm you can breathe with. Soft landings beat speed.
-
5
If the floor is hard or the knees feel busy, keep the step version for the whole set.
-
6
Stop or regress if landings get loud, the lower back arches, or the shoulders shrug into the ears.
