Spider Mountain Climbers/Wide Mountain Climbers
Core, Cardio
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 your right foot all the way up to the outside of your right hand.
3. In the same motion, return your right foot back behind you as you bring your left foot to the outside of your left hand.
- Keep your butt down by maintaining that high plank position with a strong core.
- There is a slight jump in this movement in order to switch your feet at the same time.
- Your hip mobility may not allow you to get your foot all the way up to your hand. That is alright. Just get your foot as close to your hand as you can as long as your knee is still on the outside of your body.
- You can also slightly bend your back knee to help reduce any strain you may feel on your hip flexors.
