Cross Jacks
The jumping jack with a cross on the way in: the feet land crossed and the arms cross in front of the chest.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet wide, arms straight out to the sides at shoulder height.
Steps
- Jump the feet in, landing with one foot crossed in front of the other.
- Cross the arms in front of the chest at the same time.
- Jump back out wide and cross the other foot in front next time.
Common mistakes
Same foot always in front: alternate the cross every rep. Arms dropping below the shoulders: keep them level as they open and cross. Landing flat and heavy: stay on the balls of the feet.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
