Exercise Description

The push up with mountain climber exercise builds upper body strength while boosting your heart rate. It works your chest, shoulders, and core in one move.

How To

1. Start in a push up position with your hands under your shoulders and body straight. 2. Lower down into a push up, keeping your core tight and elbows close to your body. 3. Push back up to the starting position with control. 4. Bring your right knee toward your chest, then quickly switch to bring your left knee in. 5. Return both feet to push up position and repeat the entire push up with mountain climber sequence.

Form Tips

• Keep your hips level during the mountain climber part - don't let them pike up or sag down. • Land softly on your toes when switching legs to protect your joints. • Keep your hands planted firmly throughout the entire push up with mountain climber movement. • Move your legs quickly but control the push up portion for best results.

Common Mistakes

• Letting your hips rise too high during the mountain climber, which reduces the core work. • Rushing through the push up with mountain climber without proper form on either movement. • Placing hands too wide or too narrow, which puts stress on your wrists and shoulders.
