While some of us choose to take vacation as a time to rest and recover from the stresses of daily life, there are those that like to stick to somewhat of a workout routine on vacation. Taking a beach vacation is the perfect location to get in a great body-weight workout outdoors and in the sunshine. It won't take long for you to get your heart rate up and get in a great workout while in the sand. The sand gives you an added resistance without needing any equipment. Additionally, working out in the sand will give you both a cardio and strength workout, so you are killing two birds with one stone! Below are some great workouts to take with you on vacation so you can start your day on an active note!
