Body Mantis.com – Exercise: Mountain Climbers

This exercise is called the Mountain Climber where you will get on your hands and knees and proceed with a motion that mimics climbing a steep hill for the Beginner version.

For the Advanced version, you can simply raise each leg as far as you can toward your head as possible moving at a fast pace. Preferably you want to go with the beat of music on this one to develop a steady pace.

For the Freak of Nature version of the Mountain Climbers, you can wear ankle weights while proceeding with the same motion. However, after each cycle, you will cross you knee underneath your body toward your opposite shoulder.

There is an even more difficult exercise that is very similar to this called “Floor Scaling” and you can find out more about Floor Scaling by clicking here.
