Yes actually anything you do helps you build muscles. (almost) Jumping jacks works more for your heart than for building muscle. They are great for a pre-workout warm-up and help build some muscle in otherwise sedentary individuals. If you are looking for an exercise to build leg muscle you should try squats. They are fairly easy and do not require weights.
