In this video I explain the mountain climbers exercise for beginners. I know this exercise can be tough if you're new to bodyweight fitness, so I teach it using progression. We start off with a straight-arm plank and work our way through several progressions until your'e doing legit mountain climbers.

In my opinion, mountain climbers are one of the best calisthenics cardio exercises and I put them right up there with burpees. In fact, I show in this video how you can combine mountain climbers with burpees, high knees and other cardio calisthenics to make them more fun and effective.

If you're wondering how to do mountain climbers the right way, look no further than this video. I hope you find it helpful. And if you do, don't forget to like, share and subscribe! :)
