Seal Jacks

1. Stand with your feet together and arms in front of you, parallel with the ground with your palms touching.
2. Jump your feet apart while simultaneously opening your arms out to the sides, making a "T" with your body.
3. Jump back to the starting position, bringing your feet together and your arms in front of you making a "T" again with your body.
4. Continue the jumping jack motion, alternating between the open and closed positions.

1. Keep your back straight, shoulders down, and engage your core muscles to maintain good posture throughout the exercise.
2. Land softly with each jump to minimize impact on your joints. Bend your knees slightly upon landing.
3. Control the movement of your arms and legs, ensuring they open and close in a controlled manner without excessive force.
4. Perform Seal Jacks at a steady pace to maintain a consistent cardiovascular effort.

Easier

• If jumping is challenging or you have joint concerns, modify by doing "step jacks" where you step one foot out at a time instead of jumping.
• Perform Seal Jacks at a slower pace if you're a beginner or if you want to focus on control.

Harder

• Perform with light ankle and/or wrist weights.
