Jumping Jacks exercise

Jumping jacks are a classic full-body aerobic exercise that boosts heart rate, burns calories, and improves cardiovascular endurance. This high-energy movement targets the legs, glutes, shoulders, and core, making it ideal for warm-ups, circuit training, or quick at-home cardio sessions. It’s simple, effective, and requires no equipment.
