** How to Do Mountain Climbers Properly - For Better Abs & Boosted Metabolism **
Great Core Exercise for Beginners
Mountain climbers are one of the most underutilized core exercises, and it's honestly too bad. Because not only are they great for strengthening all ab muscle groups, they're one of the best exercises to give your metabolism an extra boost after your workout.
So this is a must watch particularly for guys looking for better fat loss exercises. Because as you'll discover, there's a lot that can go wrong with this exercise. So I want to share with you how to do mountain climbers properly along with the biggest mistakes to look out for.
Mountain Climbers – Step-by-Step Technique (0:27)
- Step 1: Set yourself into a press up/plank position, with your hands just outside shoulder width apart and a straight line through your head, shoulders, hips, knees, and feet.
- Step 2: Hold your core tight, take a deep breath in and start driving your knees up towards your chest, alternating legs, as you breathe normally.
- Step 3: Each time you drive your knee up, maintain the straight line through your body and do not allow your butt to stick up or sag.
- Step 4: Each time you drive your knee up, your toe should remain around an inch from the floor. This will help avoid a jumping motion.
Sets, Reps, and Routine Recommendations (1:43)
- Step 5: Set a stopwatch for 30-45 seconds and complete the exercise until your time is up. You can do these in sets, or include them in a circuit with other cardio exercises.
** Pro Tip #1: Start by completing the exercise for 30-45 seconds, in sets or circuits.
