Description
Low Jacks are a cardio-boosting plyometric exercise designed to activate the lower body muscles while getting your heart rate up. The movement is a modified version of jumping jacks, performed in a low squat stance to emphasize muscle engagement in the glutes, thighs, and calves.
Common Mistake:
- Uneven or unsymmetrical jumping
- Drooping posture or slouching
- Not maintaining a correct squat form
Instructions
How to do Low Jacks Exercise:
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees bent.
- Jump and spread your feet wider than your shoulders while staying low.
- At the same time, raise your bent arms up and outward above your head.
- Jump back to the starting stance and repeat.
Tips:
- Pull the pelvis back and avoid overarching the spine.
- Keep a moderate, steady pace for control.
- Focus on soft landings and controlled breathing.
