STAR JUMPS

This is a warm up exercise and you should do it before attempting more demanding exercises.

In running ,  lift your feet up 5 inches and count  a step each time your left foot hits the floor.

Starting with feet together and arms at your side, jump up and land with your legs open , arms out sideways and just above shoulder height.
