1. Jumping Jacks
Stand up straight and jump while opening your legs to the side and open your arms upwards. Keep your arms and legs slightly bent to make the movement more natural.

Stand up straight and lift your knees up while jumping and switch sides. Keep your posture as straight as you can and avoid hunching your back. Try to raise your knee up as high as you can to make it more challenging. Be sure to breathe throughout the workout.
4. Skaters
Hop to one side with one leg above the ground, and jump to the other side, then repeat this movement. Keep your posture as straight as you can and avoid hunching your back. Jump as wide as you can to make it more challenging. You could also keep it low (like in a squat position) to make it more challenging. Be sure to breathe throughout the workout.
5. Jog in Place
Stand up straight and get into a running movement but without moving front or back. Keep your posture as straight as you can and avoid hunching your back. You can make this more challenging by traveling to the front and back, or to left and right, or jump higher. Be sure to breathe throughout the workout.
6. Jump Squats
Get into a squat position and jump up, and when you land, get back into a squat position. Keep your posture as straight as you can and avoid hunching your back. Jump as high as you can to make it more challenging, make sure you are landing softly and not slamming your feet on the ground. Be sure to breathe throughout the workout.
7. Skipping Rope
Jump on the spot while swinging a skipping rope however you feel comfortable. You could try different kinds of skipping to see what works best for you. Keep your posture as straight as you can and avoid hunching your back. Skip faster or jump higher to make it more challenging. Be sure to breathe throughout the workout.
8. Split Jacks
Stand up straight and jump your feet apart with your arms extended to the side, and when you jump back in, cross one foot in front of another, with your arms crossed in front of you. Keep your posture as straight as you can and avoid hunching your back. Go as fast as you can to make it more challenging. Be sure to breathe throughout the workout.
