Mountain Climbers
Start in a high plank position with your hands under your shoulders and your body in a straight line. Drive one knee toward your chest, then quickly switch legs, bringing the other knee forward as the first leg returns. Continue alternating legs at a brisk pace while keeping your hips level and core engaged. Avoid bouncing your hips up and down.
