#5 Medicine Ball Mountain Climbers
Mountain climbers improve the muscles in the abdomen, chest, shoulders and the back. Addition of the medicine ball adds resistance while also offering an enhanced stability challenge.
Instructions:
Step 1: Place your hands on the medicine ball and get into a plank position. The arms and the legs should be fully extended in the initial position.
Step 2: Tighten the core and pull the left knee towards the chest.
Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position.
Perform the same motion using your right knee to complete one rep. Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
Important tip: Do not bend your elbows and always keep them close to the body while performing this exercise.
