Mountain Climbers

Mountain climbers are a great total-body workout and build cardio endurance, core strength and agility.

Muscles targeted: arms, legs, chest, abs and hips

Start in the plank position with your shoulders directly over your head and wrists. Make sure that your back is flat and maintain a neutral spine. Flex your core (think of sucking in your belly towards your spine) and lift your right knee up to your elbow. Don’t worry if you can’t bring your elbow all the way up to your knee. Return your right knee to the starting position while at the same time moving you’re your left knee up towards your left elbow. Continue by switching legs while picking up the pace until it feels like you are running in a horizontal position.

Keep doing this for about 25 seconds for a total of 3 reps.
