Workout Wednesday: Mountain Climbers

This exercise targets the shoulders, hips, butt and the core.  To do on your own, place your hands on a stability ball, roughly 18 to 24 inches apart, and extend your legs behind you in a pushup position, with your body forming a straight line from your head to your heals. Begin by drawing your right knee up toward your chest without letting the rest of your body shift.  Return your right foot back to the floor and repeat with the same movement with the left leg, alternating until you've done 10 to 12 reps with each leg. The goal is to challenge your body to maintain stability while changing its base of support.

Let me know how it goes!
