How to do Mountain Climber
- Set up in a high-plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and arms locked out.
- Brace your core hard and squeeze your glutes to keep your hips level with your shoulders.
- Drive your right knee toward your chest, keeping the foot off the floor at the front of the motion.
- Snap the right leg back as you drive the left knee forward in a smooth, alternating rhythm.
- Keep the hips low and the shoulders stacked over the wrists the entire set.
- Continue for 20 to 40 seconds at a controlled pace, prioritizing form over raw speed.
