How to do a Seal Jack
- Stand with feet together and arms extended straight out in front at shoulder height.
- Jump the feet out wide while opening the arms straight out to your sides.
- Jump the feet back together as you sweep the arms forward to clap in front.
- Keep the arms at chest height the whole time, not overhead.
- Land softly and keep a steady rhythm.
Keep in mind
- Clap the hands together in front of the chest, at chest height.
- Open the arms wide and feel the chest stretch on every rep.
- Keep the feet jumping in the same rhythm as the arms.
- Land soft on the balls of the feet.
Common mistakes
- Arms swinging above the head — this variation stays at chest height.
- The claps and the feet drifting out of sync — slow down until they match.
- Landing flat and loud — stay springy.
Breathing
Breathe in a steady rhythm, roughly one breath every two or three jumps.
Take care
The wide arm swing opens the front of the shoulder — shorten the range if you feel a pinch there.
