Target your core, quads, glutes and deltoids with the mountain climber exercise.
Step 1
• Begin with hands on medicine ball, in half plank position with knees on the mat
• Slowly raise body up to full plank position, weight evenly distributed between hands and feet
• Ensure core is engaged and back is flat to avoid unwanted pressure on the lower back
Step 2
• Bend knee up into chest
• Return foot to mat
• Repeat with alternate knee
• Ensure back stays flat throughout. A relaxed core will cause the back to dip towards the mat which can cause lower back pain/pressure
* Repeat: 1–2 minutes
* Tempo: Alternate knee 1 x per second
