Exercise of the day: Mountain climbers

I used to hate doing these during our high school sports drills. But mountain climbers as the legendary Pete Shaifer called them, are a highly effective, simple and no-cost exercise that can be done with just a little bit of room. These are some of the top attributes of a Wiser Health-endorsed exercise.

Get into a push-up position, nice and straight like a plank. Bring one knee up to your chest, kick it back and simultaneously bring the opposite knee up to your chest. Repeat quickly like you're climbing, rest, repeat. This is a great one to add to your own circuit of exercises.
