For more of a challenge, you can switch to a traditional mountain climber on the floor after one minute. Otherwise, continue with the elevated mountain climber for one more minute.
- To come into a high plank position, start on your hands and knees with your shoulders over your wrists, hips over your knees, and core pulled in tight. Extend your legs back behind you, keeping your feet hip-width apart. Make sure to keep your body in one flat line, not dipping your hips or hunching your shoulders.
- Drive your right knee forward toward your chest, holding your core tight and keeping your upper body as still as you can. Try not to shift your shoulders back or tilt your hips up.
- Step your right foot back as you simultaneously drive your left knee forward. Again, stay at your own pace: you can speed up to a running pace or go more slowly, putting one foot down at a time.
- Continue for one minute, maintaining proper form.
