Five ways to work out at the beach
When it comes to your training, variation is a critical factor in success. If you train the same way each week, you can expect to look and feel the same.
Effective exercise is about challenging your body. So let’s shake things up – at the beach.
Training on sand and in water is a great way for you to mix things up and give your body a fresh challenge. Anyone who has trained on sand will know: it’s tough.
Much harder than training in the park or at the gym. Added bonus: lifting and driving your legs out of soft sand gets your heart rate up higher and burns the legs like nothing else.
So let’s get your butt down to the beach and hit the sand.
Here are five ways to get you closer to your beach-ready body.
Start by making two lines in the sand 20 metres apart. Begin doing walking lunges from one line to the other, keeping tall through your torso with your back knee descending to the sand. Jog slowly back and go again. Complete 3-5 sets in total. Watch how to do walking lunges on body+soul TV.

Here are five ways to get you closer to your beach-ready body.
1. A great workout to increase your fitness
Make two lines in the sand 30 metres apart. Do a quick warm up. Then sprint between each line 10 times with a 30 second rest in between. Make sure you work hard from the first rep and try to keep a consistent effort for all ten.2. A top all-body workout
Burpees on a hard surface are tough. On sand they are a killer – but don’t let that scare you. A burpee, in short, is laying your chest close to the ground as quick as possible, then rising to your feet, and a jump in the air. For this workout, do ten burpees on the sane as quick as possible. Rest for 60 seconds. Then repeat. Complete 3-6 sets in total. Watch how to do burpees on body+soul TV.3. Great for the legs and butt
Start by making two lines in the sand 20 metres apart. Begin doing walking lunges from one line to the other, keeping tall through your torso with your back knee descending to the sand. Jog slowly back and go again. Complete 3-5 sets in total. Watch how to do walking lunges on body+soul TV.
4. Challenging, but the results are worth it
Make two lines in the sand 20 metres apart. Start at one end and run to the next. Once there, do 10 push-ups, run back and do 10 sit-ups. Return back and do nine push-ups. Keep this pattern up doing a descending number of each exercise, and the run in between, until you get to one rep of each. Time how long it takes and try to beat your personal best.5. This will get the heart pumping
Leave your towel on the sand about 40 metres from the water. Run from the towel and into the water. Wade through the shallow water and when it’s deep enough swim for five strokes. Spin around and swim back out of the water. Sprint back to your towel. Rest for 30 seconds and repeat. Do 5-10 sets.Do you exercise at the beach? What do you do?
