Increased Endurance: Regular jumping jacks can help improve your endurance and stamina, making it easier to perform other physical activities.
Bone Health: Jumping jacks are a weight-bearing exercise that can help improve bone density and reduce your risk of osteoporosis.

They Strengthen Hip Muscles: According to an article from Nike.com: One of the top benefits of doing jumping jacks? Performing this move regularly can help strengthen the hip muscles by working the hips in two directions: Abduction, when the legs move away from the body, and adduction when the legs return to the starting position, squared under the hips. These abductor and adductor muscles make up the outer hips and inner thighs and are integral to pelvic stability and lower back support. They are also some of the primary muscles we use for most functional movements, such as walking, running, getting out of a chair, and picking things up off the floor.
