How to do it

Jumping jacks without the jump. One foot steps out at a time while your arms go up, so you get the cardio without pounding your knees.

  1. Stand with your feet together and your arms by your sides.
  2. Step your right foot out to the side as you raise both arms overhead.
  3. Bring the foot back in as your arms come down.
  4. Repeat on the left side and keep alternating.

Tips and safety

  • Keep a slight bend in your knees.
  • Raise your arms only as high as your shoulders allow.
  • Speed up a little when it feels easy.

Move within a comfortable range and stop if you feel pain. If you have an injury or health condition, check with a qualified professional first.
