Stuff I Dig
Mountain Climbers (with toe tap switches) There are lots of ways to do climbers, but most people simply bring the knee into the chest (hard enough), keeping the foot off the floor and keep the movement slow and controlled. Knee, back to plank, knee, back to plank etc.  This is FINE for beginners (and very challenging), so stick to it if you’re still working on them. Tip: if the floor is too challenging, place your hands on a bench or couch. Fab tip for those still working up to climbers on the floor. If you’re more ADVANCED, try to think of mountain climbers as RUNNING on the floor. Hop each foot in and out (never return to a full plank), and tap the toe in each time (connecting with the floor). Knee, then switch. Knee then switch. As fast as you can. This is MUCH more challenging and engages your quads in the movement big time. It MAY slow you down, but that’s okay! Work up to rocking them. :) P.S - Booty down and EYES FORWARD! Lol, I know it’s tempting, but don’t look at your feet. You’ll curve your neck inwards and end up misaligning your shoulders and hands. Keep your eyes straight and shoulders directly over your hands.
