How to exercise at the beach

People usually go the beach in the summer, and we all know it is the season of posting and collecting pictures of our best summer body. If you struggle to achieve this the body goal that you want before the holiday or you feel like indulging in food during your stay, a great way to still look good is to exercise at the beach. Not just that it will shape your body, it will also make you healthy and keep you active even if you are on vacation.

Paddleboarding

You can do this while standing on the paddle board which will train your balance, or if you are new to the water sport, you can also sit or lay on the board.Next time you are going to the beach bring it and maybe ask your friends to join and see if they are interested in it as well. Who knows if this can work as a fun activity for your group of friends to do.

Surfing

But it is an excellent workout for those who enjoy the activity. Many beaches let you rent a surfboard if you don’t have one, and don’t forget to bring someone who knows what to do so you can do it correctly and safely.

Cardio

So you don’t want to get wet for your exercise, then there are plenty of cardio that you can do on the sand. From running, burpees, squats, jumping jack, you name it. Be aware that doing cardio on sand will be more tiring than if you are used to doing it at home. You may need to keep your shoes on for this one to avoid any wounds from rubbing your feet against the sand.

Yoga

A yoga instructor does not have to be a person that is there with you, an alternative is to use an app or watch a tutorial video.
