Star Jump Exercise

For years, I have been doing my version of the star jumps. However, I just found out how to properly do a star jump and it is a beast. I'm not going to lie, they are tough, so in honor of them, I created a star jump workout dedicated to this exercise movement.


How to do star jumps

  • You want to begin with your body a low squat position with your feet close together and your hands touching the sides of your ankles or lower legs.
  • Jump up in the air and raise your arms and legs out to your sides, your body should make an "X" when airborne.
  • You land down softly as you come back into the starting position.

Check out these two workouts, one with equipment and one without. You will need dumbbells for the first workout. The weight should be heavy enough that the last few reps should feel a little difficult to do. If you can get through the repetitions with ease means that the weights are too light. Make sure you look at each video to learn how to perform each exercise.
