One of My Favorite Bodyweight Cardio Moves

Video from the genius that is BJ Gaddour

I thought the video was pretty awesome – I’ve never seen 28 different versions!

Mountain Climbers are a great “bodyweight cardio” exercise.  I like to throw them in between intervals of other things, like this:

Kettlebell Swings
Mountain Climbers
Kettlebell Swings
Mountain Climbers

Dumbbell Lunges
Mountain Climbers
Dumbbell Lunges
Mountain Climbers

0:30 work / 0:30 rest interval – 8:00 total

They’re basically a really intense plank, so make sure you’ve already progressed from plank to pushup plank to single leg pushup plank with awesome form, a good ab brace, and no rotation, first.

Have fun!
