Instructions
1. Set up your suspension trainer: Secure it to an anchor point above head height. Adjust the handles to hang about a foot off the ground.
2. Position your toes: Place your toes into the suspension trainer's handles so your feet are suspended behind you.
3. Start in a high plank position: Place your hands shoulder-width apart on the ground, straighten your arms, and engage your core.
4. Perform a push-up: Lower your chest towards the ground by bending your elbows. Keep your body in a straight line. Avoid letting your pelvis sag or your buttocks pike up.
5. Press back up: Use your chest and arm muscles to return to the plank position.
6. Add a mountain climber: At the top of the push-up, bring one knee to your chest, then return to start and repeat with the other knee. Alternate legs for each rep.
7. Maintain proper form: Keep your core tight and spine straight. Continue for the desired number of reps and set. Rest as needed between sets.
8. Safety Note: This is an advanced exercise requiring substantial upper body strength, core stability, and coordination. Start with basic exercises on the ground before attempting advanced moves.
