EXERCISE TIP OF THE DAY - MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS Mountain climbers are calisthenic exercises that challenge your balance, agility, proprioception and coordination. They benefit muscular and cardiovascular fitness by increasing strength, flexibility and blood circulation. Mountain climbers require you to engage your upper arms muscles, as well as your core and your legs. Practice the proper alignment of mountain climbers to get the most out of your workout. Proper alignment of the mountain climber is essential in order to properly work out the muscles involved during this exercise. In the plank position, make sure your hands are directly underneath your shoulders, shoulder-width apart. The feet are hip-width apart and your toes are curled under. Your legs and arms are straight. Your tailbone is tucked under and your abdominals are strongly contracted, keeping your back from hyperextending. Your chin is slightly tucked in, and there is a straight line from the crown of your head to your heels. Thanks again to Dani Stevens for helping demonstrate for us.
