300 MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS

Much like the squat thrust, this exercise works out almost every muscle group and is also a great cardio exercise! While in the push-up position, alternate bringing your knees toward your chest. Here’s how to do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI8u58hPam4

We’re counting in singles today, so every time a knee comes up to your chest, that counts as one. If this is your second (or more) time doing these, try to beat your previous number by 10!

If you are new to this exercise, or you have bad knees, try low-impact mountain climbers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWidX50lJSI

You can always take a break if you need to.

Post once to accept and post back once completed!

    Over the course of the day - I always break it up as I would surely die otherwise! hahaha

    Something has cropped up so might not have time today, but I will DEFINATELY do it tomorrow if can't later on!

    Never done a mini challenge before - or any for that matter - quite excited to take part.
