Mountain Climbers

Technique

How to perform Mountain Climbers

1. Start in a high plank with hands beneath the shoulders, arms straight and the trunk controlled.
2. Bring one knee forward underneath the torso while the other leg stays extended behind you.
3. Keep the hands planted and quickly switch the legs, sending the forward leg back as the opposite knee comes forward.
4. Continue alternating without letting the hips rise sharply or the lower back sag.
5. Maintain a pace that preserves the position for the planned interval, then stop and reset.
