9. Air jump rope
The air jump rope requires a person to “swing” an imaginary jump rope in the air. The exercise provides an alternative to jogging in place and is suitable as part of a warm-up routine.
To perform, stand with the feet together and jump up and down while swinging the arms in a circular direction.
10. Jumping jacks
Jumping jacks are a beginner cardiovascular exercise that a person can perform almost anywhere.
To perform:
- Begin with the feet hip-width apart and arms down.
- Raise the arms out to the sides, straight in the air while jumping out with the feet apart.
- Jump back into the starting position and land softly on the balls of the feet, bringing the arms back into the body.
A person can increase the exercise intensity by jumping higher or faster. They can also reduce intensity by performing slower or smaller jumping jacks.
