Mountain climber on the TRX ropes

To assume the starting position, place yourself in a push-up stance. Your hands should be positioned under your shoulders and nearly fully extended. Your entire body forms a straight line. Your feet are suspended in the TRX straps and should be at the same level as the rest of your body. The upper part of your body is upright, while the lower back has a slight inward curve. In this initial position, ensure that your head is in a natural extension of your spine. Next, engage your core muscles to commence the Mountain Climbers using the TRX straps.

Movement execution

In this variation of the exercise, you begin by pulling one leg forward toward your arm or to the center of your chest. The other leg remains almost fully extended to the rear. Execute this movement as far as possible without altering your overall body position or curving your back. Subsequently, return the leg to the extended starting position and proceed immediately with the other side. Always ensure that your upper body remains still, and your arms continue to stabilize your upper body level.
