Cross Body Mountain Climbers
Core
1. Start in a high plank position with your hands in line with your shoulders and feet closer than hip width apart behind you.
2. While keeping your hips square and core engaged, bring one knee into your chest. This knee will be aiming for the opposite elbow.
3. Bring the leg back behind you and repeat on the other side.
- We can do cross body mountain climbers controlled and slow, or at a more running speed (quicker speed is shown in the video)
- Keep your butt down by maintaining that high plank position with a strong core.
- By crossing our bodies, we will be increasing our oblique activation. You should feel your sides stabilizing and tightening as you pull your knee in.
