What is it good for?
I have a simple question that I can't find the answer to. In the middle school I go to they have a P.E. class. In P.E. class we do jumping-jacks. What do jumping-jacks help you build? Your arms, legs, stomach, or something?

If you do enough your calves start to burn, so I think they build some muscle there.
But, mainly they are used for cardio and stretching before a workout.

Jumping jacks is a simple warm-up routine. They don't necessarily "build" anything. They strengthen and stretch your leg and arm muscles for whatever workout is to come, but as for long term effects, there really isn't any.

Jumping jacks work mainly on your legs. They mainly just keep you fit. However jumping jacks dont really help build any muscles anywhere on your body. Hope my advice helps! ♥ Jenn

Jumping jacks just get you pumped up basically and they help build muscle, well sort of, in your arms, stomach/abdomen, legs/thighs, and really nothing else.
