Ninja Jumping Jacks
Arms out, legs out, arms in, legs in, all on the same beat. Harder than it looks. Here is what it builds and what to watch for at home.
01Home Exercise
Arms and legs on the same beat.
A jumping jack asks the arms and legs to arrive at the same time, which is a coordination problem before it is a fitness one, and plenty of children need weeks of practice before it clicks. The ninja version adds a quiet, controlled landing on top of it. Watch for arms and legs finishing together rather than one lagging behind, soft knees on every landing, and a steady rhythm instead of a scramble.
