Mountain Climbers
Exercise Summary
Work your core and get a great cardio workout at the same time with mountain climbers.
Mountain climbers are great because you can do them at any point in a workout and they can be done anywhere.
To perform mountain climbers:
-
Get into a pushup position
-
Make sure that your hands are shoulder width apart and directly under your shoulders (not overhead)
-
Your head, upper back, and butt should be in a straight line.
-
Tighten up your core
-
Drive one knee up towards your nose trying to get your knee to 90 degrees
-
Ideally try to keep the toes of the leg you are driving up, off of the floor. To make the exercise less intense, touch your toes on the floor
-
Quickly put that foot back to the starting position, while simultaneously driving the other knee towards your nose
-
Perform as many reps as possible in a given amount of time or for the required number of reps
