jumping-jack

Spread-eagle cardio move

A jumping-jack is an exercise performed by standing with feet together and arms at sides, then jumping to spread the legs while raising the arms overhead, and returning to the starting position in a continuous rhythm: We did fifty jumping-jacks to warm up.

Also a toy figure with jointed limbs that jump when a string is pulled.
