Redcord Mountain Climber for Runners - No Hands

This video demonstration provides a simple variation of the mountain climber drill using the Redcord suspension system with a bit of run spin. I like this drill and routinely prescribe it for the following reasons.
​
  1. Demands trunk control and stiffness
     2. Fosters activation of the deep neck flexors
     3. Challenges the performer to extend the hip from a flexed position
     4. Forces the performer to push off through the first ray
     5. Reinforces synchronization of the opposite arm and leg
     6. Exposes the calf muscle complex to an eccentric load 

Give it a try and let us know what you think. Any and all feedback welcome!
