This is *by far* the most intense mountain climber exercise you’ll ever do
You haven't seen a mountain climber exercise like this before. Here's how to turn up the heat with an intense pyramid routine from trainer Kirsty Godso.
Kirsty Godso, a Nike master trainer, recently shared a pyramid workout that’s so intense even watching it will make you go bug-eyed. Instead of doing a normal mountain climber, you’re literally mid-air half the time as you do a non-stop mix of climbs and jumps. “Try this heart raiser if you want to throw some sauce into your next workout,” she writes. And sauce is right: This move is spicy.
Here’s how to do the pyramid exercise, according to Godso.
The moves:
1x switch climber1x tuck jump2x switch climber each leg2x tuck jumps
How it’s done:
Pyramid up as high as you can in 60 seconds. Rest for 30 seconds, then climb back down from the top, trying to beat your score.
