Clap Squat Jack
Boost your heart rate with Clap Squat Jacks. This low-impact cardio move tones your legs and core through controlled squats and rhythmic arm motions, delivering a safe, full-body burn.
Instructions
Setup
Stand on a mat with your feet together, maintaining an upright posture with your core engaged.
Movement
Squat Phase: Step one foot out to the side while simultaneously lowering into a controlled squat position. Keep your chest up and weight primarily in your heels.
Clap Phase: As you move into the squat, bring your arms forward and clap your hands together in front of your chest.
Return Phase: Push through your heel to return to the starting standing position as you bring your feet back together. Simultaneously, open your arms wide to complete the movement.
Repetition: Continue this fluid motion, alternating sides or continuously stepping out, maintaining a steady pace without the jump to keep the movement low-impact.
