How to Mountain Climbing
Starting Position
1. Make sure to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the movement.
2. Avoid jerking or bouncing your body as you land, as this can lead to injury.
3. If you feel any discomfort or pain, stop the exercise and consult a medical professional.
Proper Form
1. Reach your arms up in the air and raise your body up on your toes as you do so.
2. Push off the ground with your toes, using your arms to help you propel yourself upwards.
3. Aim to get as high as you can, keeping your body in a straight line as you do so.
4. Land gently on the balls of your feet and repeat the movement.
Breathing Technique
1. As you reach your arms up in the air, take a deep breath in through your nose.
2. As you land on the balls of your feet, exhale through your mouth.
Precautions
1. Start in a standing position, with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at your sides.
2. Bend your knees slightly and lean forward at the hips, keeping your back straight and your chest up.
