Whether you want to move your workouts outdoors or you don't feel like heading to the gym while on vacation, we've come up with a quick full-body workout that satisfies both. Ahead are six exercises that you can do anywhere, but which are better on sand. For safety, bring a yoga mat or towel with you to prevent injuries and always look for a flat, stable surface where sand won't sink.
The warmup:
- Jumping jacks (25 reps)
- High knees (25 reps)
- 5 minutes light jog on hard, wet sand
The workout:
- Side shuffle with high-knee hold (1 minute)
- Bear crawl (1 minute)
- Walking lunges (20 reps)
- Squat jump (15 reps)
- Pilates roll-down (15 reps)
- Side plank leg lift (15 reps each side)
Rest for one minute before running through the circuit again. Complete for a total of three times.
Now, let's break down the moves.
