Mountain Climbers

Start in a plank position, on your hands and toes. Place your hands directly under your shoulders and make sure your back is straight, with your hips in line with your shoulders. Bring one knee up to your chest, keeping your back straight.  Return to plank position and pull the other knee up to your chest.

Do three sets of 12 repetitions per leg. Rest for 30 seconds between sets. 

You can speed this exercise up for a more challenging workout.

Mountain Climbers give a great whole-body workout: your legs are moving rhythmically, your arms and shoulders are supporting your weight and your core has to stay strong to hold the position. It will get your heart rate up to improve endurance as well as strength.

Do you find that your active lifestyle causes or is hindered by sore muscles or stiff joints? Atrosan Devil’s Claw helps to relieve muscle and joint pain throughout the body, which is great for chronic, long term pain.

Alternatively, Atrogel Arnica Gel is a topical pain relief that can be applied directly to affected areas to soothe stiffness and pain – perfect for when you've overdone it!

Remember to always follow a doctor or physiotherapist’s advice when it comes to exercising with an injury or joint condition.
