BODY COMPOSITION
A body composition is used to describe the percentages of fat, bone, water and muscle
in human bodies. Because muscular tissue takes up less space in the body than fat tissue, body
composition, as well as weight, determines leanness. Two people of the same sex and body
weight may look completely different because they have a different body composition. Body
composition is evaluated using body fat percent. A fit woman's percent body fat generally falls
between 21-24%. A fit man's body fat generally falls between 14-17%.

Exercises that can improve body composition

 Jumping Jacks
 Running Stairs
 Jump Squats
 Abdominal plank
 Burpees

JUMPING JACKS
I prefer jumping jacks because jumping jacks are highly beneficial to the overall health of
the heart, improving the stamina of the body and its overall endurance level, burn calories and
fat, and have the ability to increase metabolic rate. The purpose and intent of jumping jacks is
to perform work on the quadriceps. Jumping jacks are an excellent method to exercising and
firming up the calves, the gluteus, and even the hamstrings. Additionally, if you slightly bend
the arms while you raise them over the head, the biceps and the triceps will be engaged. When
you feel these regions becoming engaged, you should attempt to squeeze them in order to
experience the optimal health benefits of jumping jacks. This exercises specifically target certain
muscle groups in the body. In addition to increasing the strength and functioning of these muscles in the
body, jumping jacks are also considered to be highly effective for strengthening the body and optimizing
the cardiovascular health.

How to do jumping jacks:

1. Stand upright with your legs together, arms at your sides.

2. Bend your knees slightly, and jump into the air. 

3. As you jump, spread your legs to be about shoulder-width apart. Stretch your arms out and
over your head. 

4. Jump back to starting position.

5. Repeat.
