]]> Doing the same exercises for your abs can get boring and it can stop you from feeling the effects, so it’s time to change it up. These four effective abs exercises will bring the intensity and you will definitely be feeling the results tomorrow.

The Woodchop

You can do this exercise with a dumbbell, medicine ball, kettlebell, or weight platter. Stand straight and step your left leg slightly back, and hold the weight with both hands above your head on the right side. Twist your torso and bring the weight down all the way across the body to the left side in a “chopping” motion, exhale on the way down. Return to the start and do 15 reps on each side.

Stability Ball Saw

This exercise might not seem like it does a lot but once you get started and do the correct technique you will feel it working. Start in a plank position with your forearms on a stability ball, keeping your core tight and your body straight. Move your forearms forward and backward in a sawing motion for 30 seconds.

Glider Mountain Climbers

Start in a plank position with both feet on gliders. Make sure to engage your core and then bring your right knee forward between your hands, using the glider. Bring it back to the start position and then bring in the left knee. Keep alternating for 30-40 seconds.

Kneeling Abs Rollout

You can do this exercise with an ab wheel or a small medicine ball. Kneel on a mat and place the wheel or medicine ball on the floor in front of your body and place both hands on top. Keeping your hips high, roll out as far as you can, keeping your core tight. Bring the ball/wheel back to the start position and do 10 reps.

]]> Mountain climbers are a fabulous exercise, they require no equipment so can be done anywhere, and are great for any level of fitness. They get your heart rate up and work on a variety of muscles, not just your abs and core. They can be done fast, slow, and diagonally, but you need to make sure you are doing the basic mountain climber correctly and then you can level it up with these variations.

The Original Mountain Climber

Start in a tabletop position with the arms straight and the hands underneath the shoulder and the legs straight in line with your spine and the weight resting on the balls of your feet. Keeping a flat back and engaging the core lift the left leg up and bring the knee towards the chest, return the foot and repeat with the right leg. Alternate quickly between the legs for about 30 seconds, keeping the body as still as you can.

Cross Body Mountain Climbers

Start in the same position as the basic mountain climbers and instead of bringing the knee towards the chest, bring the knee towards the opposite elbow and alternate between each leg.

Slow Mountain Climbers

If you don’t want to increase your heart rate, but you do want a killer core exercise then slowing down the mountain climber is the exercise for you. Same starting position as before, and all you have to do is slowly drive the knee towards the chest at a very slow pace. You will shake a little more but you are building strength and feeling the tension all over your body.

]]> Mountain climbers are one of the most effective full-body exercises on the market. They can do wonders for your strength and endurance—as long as you do them right. To reap the benefits from this popular exercise, avoid making these common mistakes that are ruining your form.

Lower Back Movements

You shouldn’t make any excessive lower back movements while doing mountain climbers. Your spine should stay in a neutral position while you move your limbs. Try to flatten your back while still in the plank position to make this exercise more effective and avoid potential injuries.

Leaning Your Head

Mountain climbers can put a lot of pressure on your neck muscles if you don’t align your head the right way. Leaning your head forward is best avoided because it can put a lot of strain on your neck, in addition to leading to poor posture and breathing difficulties.

Shoulder Position

Mountain climbers are one of the very best shoulder exercises on the market, but they won’t do you any good if you wing your shoulder blades while doing them. To avoid this issue, let your shoulder blades rest flat along your spine and try to maintain this position as you perform this exercise.

]]> Mountain climbing is one of the best full-body exercises for targeting multiple muscle groups and torching calories. Here are a few common mistakes to avoid when performing this exercise in order to improve your form and get the most out of your workout.

Mountain Climbers

If you’re experiencing neck pain after doing mountain climbers, chances are that you’re not keeping your head and neck in line with your spine. Try to avoid looking up or looking at your legs in order to avoid neck strain.

Rounding or Arching Your Back

Mountain climbers are performed from a high-plank position and that’s why your back should always be straight. Arching or rounding your back while doing this exercise can lead to injuries and it probably means you’re not using your core muscles.

Bouncing

If there’s excessive lower body movement and you’re lifting your body up and down while doing mountain climbers, you’re not performing the exercise correctly. This is a common beginner mistake that can easily be avoided by maintaining proper form and engaging your core muscles.

Hips Are Too Low

In order to perfect your form, try not to lift your hips too high or too low while doing mountain climbers. If your hips are too low then you’re more likely to arch your back, which can cause back pain.

]]> Mountain climbers are one of those exercises that can do wonders for both your strength and endurance, but it takes time to master this move. If you’re still struggling to do it right, you’re probably making one of these common mistakes.

Back Movements

The posture of your back will determine if you’re doing mountain climbers right or wrong. Excessive lower back movements are pretty common, and you should do everything in your power to avoid rotating, extending, or arching your lower back as you do this exercise.

Head Position

Your back won’t be the only one giving you trouble when doing mountain climbers. It’s extremely important to have proper alignment from your heels to the back of your head. You can do this by avoiding leaning your head forward to avoid straining your neck and can impairing your breathing.

Shoulder Position

The way you position your shoulders is also crucial to doing mountain climbers correctly. As you get tired of the exercise, your shoulder blades might wing, but you can avoid this mistake by making sure that your shoulder blades rest flat along your spine. By doing so, you’ll avoid potential instability and weakness in your shoulders.
