Mountain Climb
Muscles worked: Abdominals, Calves, Hamstrings, Quadriceps, Shoulders, Trapezius
Equipment needed: None
Difficulty: 2/10 – Very Easy
How to
1. Get in the standard press up position with your hands on the floor about your shoulders width apart.
2. Bring one leg up as far as it will come and touch the floor with your toes.
3. At the same time as returning the leg you have just brought up to your chest, bring the other leg up as far as it will come and touch the floor with your toes. It’s all one swift movement.
4. Alternate between each leg and you will feel the tension building around your shoudlers, core and legs.
Make it Harder
Try a double leg mountain climb – instead of bringing one leg up at a time, keep them together throughout the exercise.
