My clients aren’t exactly requesting to do mountain climbers — they are super tough! But they also torch calories and work your entire body. Mountain climbers, named after the challenging workout of climbing a mountain, improve both leg and core strength and raise your heart rate. For these reasons, the move is often a part of many workout routines, but proper form is essential to getting the most out of the move and to keeping yourself safe.
How to perform a mountain climber correctly Follow these step-by-step instructions to ensure you’re performing mountain climbers properly: Begin in plank position, keeping your back straight, your hips low and your core engaged.Bring your right knee under your chest toward your right elbow.Return your right leg back to plank position; bring your left leg under your chest toward your left elbow.Repeat while alternating your legs, keeping a steady pace.
