Perfect Mountain Climber Technique
Mountain climbers are a dynamic, full-body exercise that combines core strengthening, cardiovascular conditioning, and functional movement patterns. They target your core, shoulders, and legs while improving coordination and agility. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures optimal form and maximum effectiveness.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position: Begin in a high plank position with hands directly under shoulders, body in straight line
- First Movement: Bring right knee toward chest while maintaining plank position with upper body
- Switch Legs: Quickly switch legs, extending right leg back while bringing left knee to chest
- Continuous Motion: Continue alternating legs in a controlled, running-like motion
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Allowing hips to rise too high (pike position)
- Sagging hips or losing plank position
- Moving too fast without control
- Letting shoulders drift forward or back
- Not bringing knees close enough to chest
