Tips on performing the “Mountain Climber” Exercise

    • Watch our video

    • Place your hands on a sturdy elevated surface, such as a table or countertop

    • Take steps back into a plank position with your elbows straight, your hands directly under your shoulders, and your body in a straight line from head to heels

    • Engage your core (abs and hips) and keep your hips level throughout the movement

    • Drive one knee toward your chest while keeping the other leg extended

    • Quickly switch legs, bringing the opposite knee toward your chest in a running motion

    • Continue alternating legs at a controlled pace while maintaining proper plank form (no arching back or twisting of spine)

    • Perform for 45-60″ and 2-3 sets
