How To Do A Mountain Climber

Hi, I'm Ben Greenfield from Pear Sports. A great way to get live biofeedback during your workout. Now, one of the things that you'll find yourself doing during a Pear workout in many situations is you'll be in a push up position performing an exercise. Now, when you're in a push up position, you want to keep your body nice and level and your core is tight. One of the exercises that you'll run into is called a mountain climber. And this is a great exercise for getting both a cardiovascular and a core toning workout at the same time. I want to show you how to do a mountain climber and also how to maintain a correct push up position for a push up based exercise.

So for the mountain climber generally I like to have my hands turned out a little bit. It gives you a little bit more freedom of rotation in your shoulder. Now from this position for the mountain climber, you're simply going to drive your right knee up to your left elbow and then your left knee up to your right elbow. You can do these slowly while maintaining nice tight contraction in your abs or you can do them quickly as though you're running. Now, you'll notice that when I'm in a push up position, I'm not allowing my lower back to sag and I'm.

Also not allowing my shoulders to sag. Those are the two most important parts.

During a pushup position that tend to kind of break or sag.

So make sure you keep your shoulders tight and your core tight. If you find yourself sagging here or sagging here, simply stop.

You can get down on your knees and rest, give yourself a break and.

Then keep going with good form. So that's how to do the mountain climber and also how to maintain a good push up position during your para sports workout. I hope that helps.
