If it is physically very difficult for you, then just do as much as you can. It's best to find something like steps. Or, something that's just a little bit higher off the ground. Even, a curb or something if you keep your safety in mind would work. So, I'm going to use these steps here to demonstrate to you how to do mountain climbers. I want to get my hands where they look like they are in a push up stance. And, then I'm just going to bring my legs in and out switching legs. And, remember to breathe.
