How to Mountain Climber

Starting Position

1. Please lie down with your hands on the ground.

2. Your hands should be positioned directly below your shoulders.

3. Engage your core to prevent your hips from dropping down.

Proper Form

1. Spread your arms shoulder-width apart and lie face down, lightly engaging your core to create a straight line with your body.

2. While keeping one foot off the ground, pull your knee towards your chest.

3. As you return the lifted foot to its original position, lift the opposite foot and pull its knee towards your chest, repeating the process.

Breathing Technique

Inhale while lifting your legs alternately, and exhale while lowering your legs.

Precautions

This exercise is done quickly to achieve the effects of aerobic exercise rather than slowly feeling the stimulation. Try to perform it at a slightly faster tempo than other exercises.
