The 1 Move That Burns Calories and Brings on the Abs

If you're a fan of exercises that work your body without machines, weights, or equipment, try doing mountain climbers! This exercise works the lower body and the core and is a great form of cardio. Learn how to do the complete move below.

• Start in a traditional plank — shoulders over hands and weight on just your toes.

• With your core engaged, bring your right knee forward under your chest, with the toes just off the ground. 

• Return to your basic plank. Switch legs, bringing the left knee forward.

• Keep switching legs and begin to pick up the pace until it feels a little like running in place in a plank position.

• Continue "running" in your plank for one minute.
  

Fit tip: for a stint of cardio during weight workouts, use this exercise as an active break in between exercises or reps.
