Going on a beach vacation this summer? This is the perfect time to not only give yourself some rest, but change up your workouts and introduce your body to something to something new and different. It is good to get your vacation day started with a quick 20- minute workout to break a sweat and feel energized the rest of the day. However, vacation is also a good time to rest and sleep in, so just try to squeeze in one or two workouts while you are away. You'll get the perfect mix of rest and movement! Also, although this workout is a great one, playing some beach volleyball or other games on the beach are great ways to get in some movement while on vacation.
Take this workout right to the beach and get it done in the sand! Working out in the sand is a great way to add resistance to your workout without equipment, and build cardiovascular endurance at the same time as building muscle. You are also more likely to burn more calories than doing just a steady state cardio workout. So, give this one a try!
- Set up a 20 yard spot with 2 towels
- Perform 10 reps of each exercise, 3 rounds, resting 30 seconds between each round
- Lateral Lunges
- Step the right leg out into a lateral lunge with the left leg straight
- Drag the left leg back to standing using sand as resistance
- Repeat on the other side
- 180 degree jump squats
- Squat and touch the ground
- Jump 180 degrees clockwise and touch the ground again
- Down Dog Push Up
- Start in the downward dog position
- Walk out to a full plank position, perform a push-up and walk back to the downward dog position
- Shuttle Sprints (5 times down and back)
Get out on the beach first thing in the morning before it gets too crowded and hot and give this workout a try! It's a quick one and will get your day started on an active and sweaty note!
