5. Mountain climbers
Mountain climbers represent a compound cardio and strength workout to build various muscles: shoulders, chest, biceps, triceps, obliques, abs, hips, and hamstrings.
The starting position: Take a face-down position on the ground with your hands and toes on the floor, and with your arms straight and shoulder-width apart. Your back should stay flat.
The routine:
- Bend your right knee and pull it to your chest. Arms and back should be straight.
- Return your right knee back to the starting position. Almost simultaneously bend and pull your left knee to your chest.
- Create a rhythmic motion by switching knees as if you’re climbing or “running.” Don’t forget to keep the spine and arms straight.
