The beach is a perfect fitness playground. With the different types of sand (sinky soft to firm), the resistance of working against water, the waves and the inspiration of being outdoors, the beach is has everything you could possibly need for a full body bootcamp. So while you’re are cramming in as many beach days as you can before summer ends, why not give this workout a try?

 

Warmup: 3-5 minutes brisk walking/jogging in soft sand (soft enough that your feet sink)

20 Walking Lunges in knee-deep water

20 Split Jumps in thigh/waist deep water

Repeat both

15 pushups in sand

30-45” Right Side Plank in calf deep water (ie parallel to shoreline so waves hit your back –don’t let them push you over!)

Repeat both this time left side plank

2X Sand Sprints  – start on your stomach, jump up and SPRINT as fast as you can 25 feet and army crawl back (forearms and inside of knees/thighs – hips and chest stay low to ground)shutterstock_278451398
