Half Jacks

Target Region: Cardio

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Start by standing tall with your feet together and your hands on your hips or in front of you for stability.

​

  • Begin by bending your knees then jumping into the air.

​

  • While jumping spread your legs to about shoulder-width apart before returning to the ground.

​

  • Staying in this position, bend your knees again and then jump into the air while returning to the starting position with your feet together again.

​

  • Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

TIPS

  • Keep a slight bend in your knees to help absorb some of the impact on your knees.

  • Perform this exercise on a soft and secure landing area. (Eg. on grass)

VARIATIONS

  • You can perform this exercise using your arms for increase in difficulty. When jumping from the starting position you can move your arms from by your side upwards together above your head simultaneously.
