Build muscle strength
Especially in the muscles engaged in the jump – calves, hip abductors and adductors, shoulder abductors and adductors and your core muscles, abs and lower back.
Improve bone strength
Jumping Jacks are a form of bodyweight exercise, which makes them great for your bones, stimulating your bones to become stronger and denser, helping to prevent loss of bone mass. But, if you already have weak bones, jumping jacks may not be ideal for you.
