How To Perform Mountain Climbers

ByMike Collins

Step away from the treadmill and get fit with mountain climbers! This multidimensional exercise works your core like a charm, targeting every muscle group in your abdomen – obliques, rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis and erector spinae. Mountain Climbers also help you increase coordination and balance while providing impressive cardio benefits: they'll skyrocket you to heart-racing heights quickly. If that's not enough fitness for ya', add variations such as single-leg or plyometric (jumping) moves to amp up intensity even further – toning muscles all over whilst challenging yourself each step of the way!

Exercise Tutorial

  1. Imagine your torso is an arrow, tightly strung in a bow: keeping it taut and steady will ensure your shots are accurate. Put another way, you want to imagine that your ribs are the riser of a bow, and each knee lift is like an arrow being released from the string.
  2. To keep your upper body strong, think of it as a fortress wall that is constantly under siege. Hold steady, and create the perfect anchor for each knee lift.
  3. Keep your spine straight, like an arrow slicing through the air. Your hips should be the bowstring: oscillating one knee up at a time without distorting the unyielding line of the spine.
  4. Picture yourself as a mountain climber, scaling a peak one steady step at a time. Allow each knee lift to be your next foothold, gradually taking you nearer and nearer to the summit. To keep from slipping off course, focus on keeping the back straight and abs braced throughout the entire motion.
