Removing elements from an array

Take an array and remove every second element from the array. Always keep the first element and start removing with the next element.
Example:
Given the array --> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The result will be --> [1, 3, 5]

function removeEl(arr) {
    const newArr = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i = i + 2) {
        newArr.push(arr[i]);
    }
    return newArr;
}

console.log(removeEl([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]));
