Mountain Climbers — abs compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Mountain Climbers

Compound · Weight × reps · Time

Maintain a long trunk and quiet hips as speed increases. Avoid bouncing high, letting the lower back sag, or moving faster than your foot placement allows. Slow alternating steps or hands on a bench reduce the demand; faster running changes the conditioning challenge, but pace should be limited by position and traction rather than a promise about calorie burn.
