Mountain Climber
Welcome to the FitDaily mountain climber workout. Look for a place to climb for real, and you can skip these workouts in the future in favor of actual climbing. Indoor rock climbing gyms are a great way to get a fun, exciting workout, and you don't have to worry about the weather.

Alligator Walk
| 1 | 16 | You should feel a little like spider man as you push/climb across the ground or floor. Try to cover some distance in 16-20 reps. One set, then move on. |
|
|
Row
| 2 | 15 | If at all possible, do pullups or lat pulldowns instead of rows. If you can find a way to pull the stretch bands straight down, do that instead. Otherwise row with heavy resistance. Two sets of 15 with a quick break between. |
|
|
Leg Raises
| 2 | 25 | If possible, perform leg raises while hanging from a pullup bar instead of on the floor. Hang in a straight line and pull your feet so your body forms an L. Two sets with a quick break between. |

|
