Mountain Climbers - A Great Exercise to Increase Your Core Strength and Endurance

Mountain Climber: Mountain Climbers are a great conditioning exercise designed to increase your core strength and endurance.

This exercise is easy to do at home or at the park or anywhere you exercise! Try incorporating a few sets of anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes into your workout routine.

A staple of the Army physical fitness program for years, it may bring back memories to some veterans as "Conditioning Drill 3, Excercise 3."

The proper way to perform the mountain climber:

1. Assume the start position for a standard push-up (keeping your back straight and your arms fully extended).

2. Bring your left leg forward (knee under chest) and leave your right leg extended straight back.

3. Start the exercise by bringing your right leg forward (knee under chest) while simultaneously thrusting your left leg straight back.

4. Continue alternating back and forth and try to spring both of your legs off of the ground as you alternate positions.

5. Complete as many sets as you can and increase the time of each set as you gain endurance.

ENJOY THE BURN!
