JUMPING JACKS

A fast-paced exercise to release pent-up energy.

Exercise Instructions

Jump, spreading your legs and lifting your arms above your head, then jump back to the starting position. Maintain a steady rhythm.

How This Somatic Exercise Works

Jumping jacks help to increase your heart rate, promoting better blood circulation which aids in releasing endorphins, the body's natural stress-relievers. The rhythmic movement also helps to calm the nervous system, creating a sense of balance and relaxation.

Tips For This Exercise

Stand upright with your feet together and hands at your sides.

Focus on maintaining a steady rhythm and breathe deeply as you jump in and out.
