'Mountain climbers are an excellent total body workout. Done at high intensity, they’re a great calisthenic exercise. Done slowly with a squeeze at the top of each movement, they become a powerful core exercise. By adding incline or decline push ups, clients can increase their upper body conditioning.  MUSCLE GROUPS TARGETED: - Upper Body, Lower Body, Core  HOW TO PERFORM MOUNTAIN CLIMBER PUSH UPS: Beginners should use the platform for incline push ups and the floor as the base for mountain climbers. For advanced clients, switch the set up. The higher the platform, the greater the challenge.  Begin by adjusting the platform to the desired height. Place clients in a push up position, ensuring a proper plank in the body. To begin the movement, clients rapidly bring one knee forward toward the chest, then quickly switch the position, bringing the opposite knee forward. Work to minimize any hip hiking in clients.  Where you place the push up depends on the fitness goals. The more added to the routine, the greater the emphasis on upper body conditioning. Before clients can execute a push up, the lead leg must return to the starting position to create the proper plank position.  Since this is a total body exercise, clients tire quickly. To help prevent injuries and get the most out of the movement, ensure proper form is maintained.'
