Instructions
Start in a standard plank position with your hands stacked directly under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from your shoulders to your heels.
Engage your core and keep your back flat throughout the exercise.
Bring your right knee towards your right elbow while trying to keep your hips as stable as possible.
Return your right leg to the starting position.
Repeat the movement with your left knee to your left elbow.
Continue alternating legs, moving quickly but with control to maintain good form.
This exercise can be performed for a set number of repetitions or for time. Aim for short bursts of high intensity like 20-30 seconds, followed by rest or a lower intensity exercise. Keep in mind that as you increase your speed with the Spider Mountain Climber, it becomes more cardiovascularly demanding while also challenging your coordination and core stability.
