Mountain Climber: how to do it
From a push-up position, drive the knees to the chest one after the other, fast; each knee counts as one rep.
NO EQUIPMENTStep by step

01 Hands under the shoulders, drive one knee all the way under the chest.
Avoid: short knee drives, feet barely moving: half the work.

02 Switch legs fast, hips low and steady, body straight.
Avoid: hips piking up or sagging: the core quits, sagging strains the back.
In short
- Hands under the shoulders, body straight
- Drive one knee to the chest, switch
- Keep the hips low and steady
