Impact Move- Jumping Jacks

I've decided to start highlighting specific plyometric or strength training moves that I think really carry a punch. My first and one of my absolute favorites is Jumping Jacks. They are perfect for warm-up to really get your heart pumping.
They also make a great cardio move and are perfect to incorporate in circuit-training. (See my 25-Minute Workout). On top of that, they are a wonderful strength-training exercise. They work your shoulders, back, thighs and calves. As well as your entire core.
This move is exceptionally impactful because the combination of cardio burst with strength training helps to boost your metabolism, tone muscles and essentially help burn more fat. Also, they help to improve your overall agility. And let's not forget, they are fun!
So, incorporate jumping jacks at any time during the day, whether its when you get up, as a part of your work-out routine or on a break at work, and you'll start to really start to see an impact!
