Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Mountain Climber Slide with Towel.
A core-intensive exercise that uses towels under the feet on a smooth floor to create a sliding mountain climber motion. Eliminating the impact of the traditional mountain climber, the sliding variation increases hip flexor range of motion and places sustained tension on the abs and shoulders.
The Mountain Climber Slide with Towel is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
