Reverse Banded Mountain Climber
Exercise Overview
The reverse banded mountain climber exercise is used to strengthen the hip flexors in one leg while strengthen the hip extensors in the other leg. Bridge your body up with your hands on an elevated surface like a bench or edge of a sofa. Loop a miniband around both feet and extend both hips to neutral position (resembling a reverse plank). Raise one knee to 90 degrees hip flexion and hold for up to 2 seconds and alternate sides.
