TRX Mountain Climber

How to do it

  1. Adjust the TRX straps to ankle height and step both feet into the foot cradles.
  2. Assume a high plank on your hands with the straps supporting your feet.
  3. Brace your core and drive one knee forward toward your chest while the other leg stays extended in the strap.
  4. Return that foot to the plank position and immediately drive the other knee forward in a running rhythm.
  5. Exhale as each knee drives in, inhale as the leg extends back to plank.
  6. Avoid letting the hips sag as the unstable straps challenge core control through each alternating drive.
