Mountain climbers – how to do it right
In a plank, drive your knees to your chest.
This is how Stickfreed, our glowing stick figure, shows you the exercise on your TV – here the start, middle and end position. In the app he turns slowly so you can see everything.
How to do it
- Hands under shoulders and body straight.
- Drive your knees toward your chest in turn.
- Hips stay low – breathe steadily.
How long?
In BLOX: 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest, three rounds.
If something niggles
Don’t fancy the floor? Shoulder niggling? Then do Forearm plank instead – BLOX swaps it automatically if you mention it at the start. Stop if it hurts; if you have complaints or pre-existing conditions, check with a doctor or physio first.
