Exercise at the beach
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
Taking your fitness routine to the beach opens up a whole world of exercise, energy and sensory inputs. If you have access to a beach on a regular basis or are planning a vacation, challenge yourself to spend a little time exploring the pleasure of running or walking at the beach. Some tips for making the most of your beach time:
• Leave your music behind when walking or running – that way, you relish the sound of waves breaking.
• Feel like a triathlete – stuff a suit in your pocket and you’re ready to swim after that run or walk.
• Finish with a shoeless stretch – you’ll love the calming feel of sand and surf beneath your bare feet.
Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine.
