Pro Tip

Maintain Correct Form: For the Run and Jack Jump, start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart. As you start to run in place, ensure your knees are lifting up to hip height and your arms are swinging back and forth. When you transition into the Jack Jump, jump your feet out wide as you raise your arms overhead, then jump your feet back together as you lower your arms. A common mistake is not maintaining proper form which can lead to ineffective workouts and potential injuries. Take it Slow: When you're just starting out, it's essential to take it slow. Don't rush the movements. Instead, focus on getting the form right. Once
