HOW TO DO MOUNTAIN CLIMBER
Mountain Climbers are a dynamic exercise designed to primarily engage the core muscles, including the abdominals, obliques, and hip flexors. Typically performed at a brisk pace, Mountain Climbers elevate cardiovascular intensity, but the speed can be adjusted to accommodate various fitness levels and goals.
HOW TO PERFORM:
Assume a standard press-up position with your weight on your hands and toes. Keep your back and legs straight, and position your hands shoulder-width apart.
Execute a swift and controlled movement by bringing your right knee up toward your chest, placing the ball of your right foot on the floor at the edge of the movement.
Lightly spring up with your legs, simultaneously switching feet. Bring your left foot up toward your chest as you push back with the right. Alternate your feet for the desired number of repetitions before returning to the starting position.
MOUNTAIN CLIMBER BENEFITS
Mountain Climbers offer an effective combination of cardio and core-strengthening benefits. This exercise contributes to the development and strengthening of both upper and lower body muscles.
As a versatile movement, Mountain Climbers target not only the abdominal muscles but also engage the spine and buttocks. The exercise works to fortify and tone the entire body, enhancing posture, balance, reducing body fat, and potentially boosting metabolism.
