Don’t let the simplicity of this movement fool you: high knees can be a high-intensity cardiovascular exercise. Performing high knees gets your blood pumping while activating your core and strengthening your legs. Learning how to do high knees will fire up the entire leg, strengthen hip flexors, improve coordination and flexibility in the lower body and increase momentum in your stride. Bauerfeind’s Sports Ankle Support provides support and compression for better performance during workouts.

The bird dog is a bodyweight exercise that strengthens the core — more specifically, the abdominal muscles, lower back, butt, and thighs. Since it requires no equipment other than a mat, it can easily be integrated into almost any core strength training routine.

The Spider Mountain Climbers is basically a slower version of a mountain climber. It works all the same muscles but is less of a cardio workout. If you want to get better at mountain climbers, this is a good move to start with, since it trains the same position and motion but at a more manageable pace.

“Burpee with push-up” is a full-body exercise, strengthening the muscles in your legs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, arms, chest and shoulders. Bauerfeind’s Sports Wrist Strap provides support and compression for better performance during workouts.
