Exercises for working out on the beach this holiday

The sand and the beach usually evoke thoughts of relaxation, games with children and sun. Few places in the world seem so ideal for rest and having fun with the little ones during the summer. However, the beach can also be the perfect place for working out. Here are some exercises for the beach.

What are the benefits of working out on the beach?

The beach provides natural resistance, which adds difficulty to the exercise routine, as well as considerably reducing the impact on joints.

The beach is also the ideal place to enjoy, rest and disconnect.

The water, on the other hand, offers a wide range of possibilities for full-body workouts, in addition to being nice and cold, contributing to reaffirming the muscles.

Warm-up exercises in the sea

Walking in the water is one of the simplest exercises you can perform and is perfect for doing a short warm-up

How should you do it? Take note!

Rest for two minutes and perform two more sets.

HSN supports you in hydration and nutrition for your workouts.

Think this is too little? We have more options for you in the water.

Swimming in the sea is another option available to everyone.

Another option in the water is to take advantage of some floats: balls or mats, and move with a simple kick keeping your arms and chest out of the water. This way, you’ll get some intensive leg work with low impact on your joints.

Fun on the beach! This is always the case when exercising.

5 exercises for workouts on the sand

In addition to the traditional walks along the beach shore, where the coming and going of the waves has hardened the sand, which allows you to work your quads; and on top of running or team sports such as beach football, volleyball or the traditional racket sports; we want to suggest 5 perfect exercises to practice on the beach.

Take advantage of the hours when there’s less heat and fewer people on the beach.

Squats

Do between 12 and 15 repetitions per set.

Burpees

Execution of five individual exercises, which together will allow you to do a complete exercise: squat, squat thrust, plank, push-up and vertical jumping.

Planks

What greater tranquility than working out on a sandy beach?

Try to hold for around 50-60 seconds!

Abdominals

You can choose to do lower and lumbar abdominals. Lying on our backs with our arms outstretched next to the body, we move our legs straight up and down.

Tone your lower abs!

Press-ups

If you can train with a friend or partner, it’s even more fun.

Try some traditions press-ups, but this time in front of the sea 😊.
