Stool Supported Climber

Climber A Padded Stool Supported Instructions

Starting Position

1. Setup the stool: Place the padded stool in a comfortable area with enough space around it.

2. Get into position: Start in a push-up position with your hands placed on the top of the stool. Your arms should be straight and shoulder-width apart. Your feet should be together and positioned behind you.

Body Alignment

• Keep your body straight from head to heels; avoid sagging your hips or raising your buttocks too high.

• Engage your core by tightening your abdominal muscles.

Movement

1. Begin climbing: Starting with your right foot, bring your knee towards your chest, keeping your foot off the ground.

2. Return to start: Lower your right foot back down to the starting position behind you.

3. Alternate legs: Now, lift your left knee towards your chest, following the same motion, and then return it to the starting position.

Breathing

• Inhale as you lower your foot back to the starting position.

• Exhale as you bring your knee up towards your chest.

Repetitions

• Aim for 10 to 15 repetitions on each leg, or as many as you’re comfortable with. Rest as needed.

Tips

• Keep your movements controlled to maintain balance and proper form.

• Focus on using your core muscles to stabilize your body throughout the exercise.

• If you find this exercise too challenging, you can perform it by lowering your knees to the ground for additional support.
