Simple 3 Step Beach Work Out
Happy Labor Day everyone! I was fortunate enough to have been invited to the beach this weekend by some really great new friends of mine who live there. Thank you Sue, Diane, Carla and Dollie! We had such a good time! When we got there we had to hike down this massive flight of stairs with all of our stuff and it got me to thinking – this has great workout potential, in fact others were thinking the same on my way down I passed a few joggers running up! Nothing to original here but it is fun so try it out! If you are fortunate enough to live by the ocean – Good For You! If not this is something new you can try and a good reason to go visit and stick your toes in the sand!
1.) – climb down the stairs to the sand once you get to the sand you are going to jog lightly or speed walk to the waters edge for your warm up
2.) – Do a set of 10 modified or depending on your fitness level regular push ups
3.) – run back up the beach to the stairs and run all the way up – I recomend for beginners that you stop and check your heart rate at least half way up if you are feeling extremely winded and of course if you are stop for a moment to do some deep breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth. Continue on till you reach the top.
This is a great simple workout that works for everyone. Doing this circuit once for beginners at a slower pace and 3-5 times at a faster pace ( sprinting ) for intermediate to advanced.
