Mountain climber: how to do it with good form

Mountain climbers train the core and raise the heart rate — good as a warm-up or in intervals.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Start in a high plank with your hands under your shoulders.

  2. 2

    Drive one knee towards your chest.

  3. 3

    Switch legs quickly, as if running in place.

  4. 4

    Keep your hips low and back flat.

Common mistakes

  • Hips rising into the air.
  • Shoulders drifting behind the hands.
  • Losing form as you speed up.
