“Mountain Climber” is a training for the trunk and hip joints. You can train the trunk, which is important for maintaining posture, and the hip joint muscle, which is the iliopsoas muscle that attracts the legs. This exercise is recommended for those who tend to lose their posture when running.
1. Place your hands and open your legs back and forth.
Your hands should be about the width of your shoulders. Make sure your hind legs are in a straight line from your head.
2. Swap your legs back and forth quickly.
Be careful not to move your body up or down significantly. Focus on your abdominal muscles and be careful not to have your back rounded.
Start with 10 times x 3 sets, and increase the number to 15 or 20 as you get used to it. It can be used in combination with other events by separating it by time such as 20 seconds or 30 seconds.
