Mountain Climber

BeginnerBodyweight

The mountain climber is a bodyweight move that keeps you in a plank while you pump your knees forward in an alternating rhythm. Holding the plank taxes your core and shoulders, and cycling the legs raises the intensity and adds a cardio element to the exercise.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set up in a high plank with hands just wider than your shoulders and body in a straight line.

  2. 2

    Draw one knee forward under your chest, planting the ball of that foot lightly.

  3. 3

    Explosively switch, driving that leg back as you pull the opposite knee in.

  4. 4

    Let your hips rise slightly as each knee comes forward.

  5. 5

    Keep alternating at a steady, controlled pace for your reps or time.
