]]> Are you trying to remain committed to your workout schedule this summer while still making time to go to the beach? Fortunately, there is a way to do both. Here are some activities that you can do at the beach that will be sure to provide you with a thorough workout without your even realizing it.

Standup Paddle Boarding

In addition to testing your balance, standup paddle boarding (supping) is also a fun way to explore the sea and perhaps visit new sites that were inaccessible from land. As you venture out into the waters, you’ll condition your arms, shoulders, and core muscles while breathing in the salty air.

Frisbee

Whether you’re at the beach with your friends or your kids, playing frisbee can be a fun, low-intensity workout. Not only will the frisbee activate your forearm muscles and wrists, but you’ll also get a cardiovascular workout due to running to catch the frisbee during each throw.

Yoga

This ancient exercise technique not only improves your physical fitness but helps you to meditate and destress as well. In addition to providing a wholesome yet relaxing workout, yoga can also be a highly social activity, with companies such as Beach Yoga SoCal providing you with the opportunity to join group sessions where you can meet other like-minded people.

]]> Sometimes you just want to get outside! If you’re nowhere near a gym or you really enjoy being out in nature and want to use your workout time to enjoy the nature in your area, you may want to start using that nature to your athletic advantage! Here are a few ideas to get you started on a workout using your natural surroundings.

Forests

If you live near a forest—or in fact, even if you have a good, sturdy tree near you with branches low to the ground, you can experience the benefits of tree climbing! Some experts say tree-climbing is a full-body workout and it can build muscle much like rock climbing. Additionally, you can use a sturdy, low-handing branch as a pullup bar if you don’t have one in your home.

Beaches

If you live near a beach, or in fact any sandy area, you can up your running game by running along the sand. The lighter resistance that sand provides means you have to push harder to go just as far, making it a stellar way to train and build muscle and endurance.

Mountains

Mountains provide a wealth of activities that are awesome for your body. You can get into hiking, rock climbing, mountain climbing, and more! If you live near a mountain, find out what kind of hiking trails are available first and foremost—then you may feel like learning more, such as if there are any opportunities to climb, rappel, or camp.

]]> Picture this: you wake up at 6:00 a.m., just like you’ve done every day for the last three months. You put on your running outfit, a flexible jumpsuit that’s good for the outdoors, especially in the early cold morning. You do your stretches. Finally, you head outside and jog to the beach, where you proceed to jog for a solid 30 minutes. Doesn’t that feel like bliss? If that didn’t convince you, maybe this will.

Beauty in the Grind

There’s something to be said about enjoying your exercise. Not many people enjoy running, but perhaps if they could run somewhere as relaxing as the beach, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. What’s not love to about feel the wind rustle through your hair, hearing the seagulls cry, smelling the salty ocean? That’s bound to make you want to you return day in and day out.

Helps You Get Into a Routine

When you have a set place that you love to go, it’s easier to make a routine out of it. So if you happen to live anywhere close to the beach, why not take advantage of this fact? Jog there every morning and you’ll find that it can truly enrich your life.

]]> If you like to add an extra challenge to your workouts, one great way to do that is to use the ocean as your gym! Specifically, the very shallow part of the ocean where you’re still on the sand. These can add some resistance to your workouts. This is also a great option if you just love being in the sea or on the beach and you want to combine beach time with fitness time!

Pushups and Abs in the Waves

Supposedly, part of navy seal training includes doing full workouts right in the shallow waves of the ocean, to add an element of urgency, breath control, and resistance to their workouts. You can also try this out yourself to get those same benefits–just be sure to listen to your body and to stop if it gets too intense.

Running

Running in the sand is a great way to add an extra challenge to your running routine. Running on the wet sand provides a beautiful view and cooling ocean spray. On the other hand, running further up the beach will be a much more intense, muscle-building exercise because there’s far less resistance from the ground so you’ll have to work harder to move forward.

]]> Going to the ocean, whether via beach or port, is always a special experience. The water is beautiful and may provide adventure or peace depending on the day. There are also lots of fun activities to do that will help you stay in shape as a bonus! Here are three fun activities to take with you or play on your next beach trip.

Frisbee

Frisbee is a great beach activity. It involves running, throwing, and hand-eye coordination—so it’s secretly great for some physical activity too. Throwing the frisbee around in shallow water adds an element of resistance to your running and may require some swimming as well. Even playing out on the beach is a lovely way to enjoy the ocean breeze, sun, and sand.

Beach Volleyball

Many beaches have volleyball. If you bring some friends and a volleyball, you’ll be able to have a great time out on the beach which also will get you winded and give you some cardio and arm strengthening. Don’t forget the sunscreen?

Ping Pong

A classic beach activity involves standing right in the lapping waves and hitting a ping pong ball back and forth with paddles. Again, this is a great way to work on hand-eye coordination and your leg muscles through moving over sand and water.

]]> Do you love the beach? Well, as if we didn’t need more reason to spend the day at the beach, here are five holistic health benefits of taking a beach vacation.

Reduces Stress

Studies have continued to show that spending time in natural environments is good for our physical and mental health. It increases happy hormones, reduces stress, and helps us feel more grounded.

Swimming

Swimming is a great way to work out muscles all over the body. It requires the core abdominal and pectoral muscles just as much as the arms and legs.

Sunshine

Sunshine is a crucial source of Vitamin D, which is essential for healthy bones, skin, and eyes. There are very few alternative sources of Vitamin D, so spending time at the beach on a sunny day is a great way to combine health with fun.

Cold Water

The cold water of the sea is actually great for your physical and mental health. It reboots your body’s systems, improves blood circulation, helps the muscles get what they need, and improves the immune system.

Sounds of the Sea

The sounds of the sea as the waves crash onto the beach have been shown to have a calming influence. The soothing rhythms of the waves help your body and mind to be in sync with one another.

]]> It’s not that time of the year yet, but it’s getting closer. Soon, the days will get shorter and colder, and you will be inclined to stay inside longer. However, spending time outside, especially in the nature, is great for your physical and mental well-being. Here are our favorite fall activities that will keep you active and out of the house.

Road Trip

We’re sure you have some amazing nature within driving distance, so pack your family in the car and go on an adventure. Make sure to pack some food and drinks so you can hike and explore the surroundings all day long.

Start Running

It’s easier to run when it’s cold, so now that the summer is gone you can finally start practicing for a race or simply run for fun. If you want to combine getting fit with you doing something good, you can sign up for a charity race and use it as motivation to go running every day.

Visit the Beach

Most people don’t go to the beach once the summer is over, which means you will have it for yourself. Early fall days can’t even be warm and allow swimming, but even if you don’t get to swim, you can still have a great time.

]]> Before you go to the beach, it’s always a good idea to pack some snacks for when you get hungry. You don’t want to be stuck having to buy overpriced, unhealthy food at the beach. These snacks will keep well in the heat and they’re super satisfying.

Frozen Grapes

Frozen grapes will stay cold for a long time and when they defrost, they taste amazing. They won’t be warm or mushy because you froze them ahead of time.

Homemade Trail Mix

Trail mix made with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit will keep you satisfied from all the protein, carbs, and fats. Avoid adding chocolate because it will melt and make the mix super messy.

Hey loves! 👋🏼❤I’m having a really busy week on the road for work, but here’s a quick recipe you can add to your weekly meal prep or take with you when you’re traveling! I wish I had made some for myself for this trip 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ ..homemade trail mix is so yummy and it’s fun to make- choose whatever ingredients you like best but make sure whatever nuts and seeds you pick up are in their raw form and don’t have a bunch of additives like sugar 🙅‍♀️ in this batch there’s raisins, unsweetened coconut chips, raw sliced almonds, dried apples, raw cashews, raw walnuts 🙌🏼 another great recipe for travel is my Protein-packed granola – you can find the full recipe for that on allisapron.com (link in bio!) .. also make sure to check out my Instagram stories this week if you are interested in more tips on eating healthy while traveling! 👍🏼🤗

Popcorn

Air-pop your own popcorn and add your favorite spices for a nice, salty beach treat. Add some nuts for some extra crunch.

Apples & Oranges

Apples and oranges won’t get mushy like other fruits while at the bottom of your bag. They’re also a great way to stay hydrated on a hot day at the beach.

Hummus & Whole Grain Crackers

For a great carb and protein mix, bring some hummus and whole-grain crackers. Try and keep the hummus away from the sand, as the last thing you want is some sandy hummus.

]]> While on the beach, all you want to do is feel the sun on your skin, but you can get an amazing workout while doing this. Exercising on the sand is fun and it challenges your body. Whether you choose to do full-body workouts or want to play some sports, the beach is a great place to get a workout in. Put on some sunscreen, grab a water bottle, and head to the beach to do these fun workouts.

Mini Bootcamp

Workouts are always more exciting when you have a friend sweating along with you. For this workout, you and a friend will alternate moves with one person running in the water and once it’s deep enough to swim, swimming 20 strokes in and 20 strokes back and running out of the water. While they’re doing this, the other person does bodyweight exercises like burpees, planks with shoulder taps, or air squats. Then you’ll switch off. Sounds fun, right?

Play Volleyball

If you’re looking to burn a lot of calories and to improve your speed, agility, and hand-eye coordination, play beach volleyball. You’ll have so much fun diving for the ball and you’re muscles will ache afterwards. It’s a great way to meet new people while getting exercise in.

Go For a Run

Running on the sand with bare feet is much harder than it looks. Your shoes provide cushion, so the muscles that aren’t usually used while running will be activated during a beach run. Make sure you don’t push yourself to hard, as you probably won’t be able to run as long on the beach as you run on the treadmill or outside.

Go Kayaking

If you’ve kayaked before you know just how much of a total body workout it is. Not only will your arms be sore, but your upper body and core will be doing a lot of work. It’s a great way to get some cardio in.

Water Workout

Bodyweight exercises such as squats, lateral lunges, skaters, and jumping jacks can be done in the ocean. Make sure the water comes up to your waist so you get the resistance of the water.

]]> There’s no reason why you should skip your running sessions while on vacation – on the contrary, you can only benefit from changing the environment. Here are 4 tips for running on the beach.

Run on Wet Sand

It will be easier to run and you won’t sink into tightly packed sand.

Short Runs

Start with around 20 minutes and don’t push yourself too hard. It takes time to get used to running on the beach.

Skip Shoes

If you want, you can run barefoot. That way, you won’t have to deal with wet socks if water accidentally gets into your shoes.

Wear Sunscreen

Don’t forget to protect your skin during your runs. Always apply sunscreen before going for a run.

The sounds of the sea as the waves crash onto the beach have been shown to have a calming influence. The soothing rhythms of the waves help your body and mind to be in sync with one another.

]]> It’s not that time of the year yet, but it’s getting closer. Soon, the days will get shorter and colder, and you will be inclined to stay inside longer. However, spending time outside, especially in the nature, is great for your physical and mental well-being. Here are our favorite fall activities that will keep you active and out of the house.

Road Trip

We’re sure you have some amazing nature within driving distance, so pack your family in the car and go on an adventure. Make sure to pack some food and drinks so you can hike and explore the surroundings all day long.

Start Running

It’s easier to run when it’s cold, so now that the summer is gone you can finally start practicing for a race or simply run for fun. If you want to combine getting fit with you doing something good, you can sign up for a charity race and use it as motivation to go running every day.

Visit the Beach

Most people don’t go to the beach once the summer is over, which means you will have it for yourself. Early fall days can’t even be warm and allow swimming, but even if you don’t get to swim, you can still have a great time.

]]> Before you go to the beach, it’s always a good idea to pack some snacks for when you get hungry. You don’t want to be stuck having to buy overpriced, unhealthy food at the beach. These snacks will keep well in the heat and they’re super satisfying.

Frozen Grapes

Frozen grapes will stay cold for a long time and when they defrost, they taste amazing. They won’t be warm or mushy because you froze them ahead of time.

Homemade Trail Mix

Trail mix made with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit will keep you satisfied from all the protein, carbs, and fats. Avoid adding chocolate because it will melt and make the mix super messy.

Popcorn

Air-pop your own popcorn and add your favorite spices for a nice, salty beach treat. Add some nuts for some extra crunch.

Apples & Oranges

Apples and oranges won’t get mushy like other fruits while at the bottom of your bag. They’re also a great way to stay hydrated on a hot day at the beach.

Hummus & Whole Grain Crackers

For a great carb and protein mix, bring some hummus and whole-grain crackers. Try and keep the hummus away from the sand, as the last thing you want is some sandy hummus.

]]> While on the beach, all you want to do is feel the sun on your skin, but you can get an amazing workout while doing this. Exercising on the sand is fun and it challenges your body. Whether you choose to do full-body workouts or want to play some sports, the beach is a great place to get a workout in. Put on some sunscreen, grab a water bottle, and head to the beach to do these fun workouts.

Mini Bootcamp

Workouts are always more exciting when you have a friend sweating along with you. For this workout, you and a friend will alternate moves with one person running in the water and once it’s deep enough to swim, swimming 20 strokes in and 20 strokes back and running out of the water. While they’re doing this, the other person does bodyweight exercises like burpees, planks with shoulder taps, or air squats. Then you’ll switch off. Sounds fun, right?

Play Volleyball

If you’re looking to burn a lot of calories and to improve your speed, agility, and hand-eye coordination, play beach volleyball. You’ll have so much fun diving for the ball and you’re muscles will ache afterwards. It’s a great way to meet new people while getting exercise in.

Go For a Run

Running on the sand with bare feet is much harder than it looks. Your shoes provide cushion, so the muscles that aren’t usually used while running will be activated during a beach run. Make sure you don’t push yourself to hard, as you probably won’t be able to run as long on the beach as you run on the treadmill or outside.

Go Kayaking

If you’ve kayaked before you know just how much of a total body workout it is. Not only will your arms be sore, but your upper body and core will be doing a lot of work. It’s a great way to get some cardio in.

Water Workout

Bodyweight exercises such as squats, lateral lunges, skaters, and jumping jacks can be done in the ocean. Make sure the water comes up to your waist so you get the resistance of the water.

]]> There’s no reason why you should skip your running sessions while on vacation – on the contrary, you can only benefit from changing the environment. Here are 4 tips for running on the beach.

Run on Wet Sand

It will be easier to run and you won’t sink into tightly packed sand.

Short Runs

Start with around 20 minutes and don’t push yourself too hard. It takes time to get used to running on the beach.

Skip Shoes

If you want, you can run barefoot. That way, you won’t have to deal with wet socks if water accidentally gets into your shoes.

Wear Sunscreen

Don’t forget to protect your skin during your runs. Always apply sunscreen before going for a run.
