jumping jack
Arms-and-legs calisthenics
A jumping jack is a calisthenic exercise performed by jumping from a standing position with arms at the sides to a position with legs spread and arms raised overhead, then back again in rhythm.
The movement resembles a child's toy of the same name—a jointed figure that spreads its limbs when a string is pulled.
We did fifty jumping jacks to warm up.
