Slider Mountain Climbers

Slider Mountain Climbers are another great core exercise, especially when done for time (e.g. 2 min.+). They are basically a dynamic plank and target core stability.

To do them, place a slider under each foot and get into a plank position on your hands. From here pull you right knee to right elbow and then return to the starting position. Then pull your left knee to your left elbow and then return to the starting position. Repeat this over and over as fast as you can for 2 minutes sliding the sliders in and out from your elbows. Focus on keeping your back flat and core tight. Do not allow your hips to rise or sag. Do this continuously for 2 minutes and your core and shoulders will be on fire.

Give it a try!
