Wanna #GetFitLikeThat during your beach trip? Sharita Jennings of GetFitLikeThat.com has put together some moves that will work your entire body. The only equipment you’ll need is sand!
Taking your workouts to the beach will give you more than just great views. Performing moves on an unstable surface like soft sand forces you to engage your core muscles even more than usual so you’ll be that much closer to tighter abs!
On top of that, the sand makes simple things like jogging and jumping around a lot harder. This means you’ll get some extra calorie burn for every exercise you try on the beach. And finally, you can use the sand to your advantage for plyometric, or exercises that involve a lot of jumping. Normally these moves can be hard on your knees, but the sand takes some of the pressure off your joints. So go all out with this workout, since you’ve got some extra cushion for the pushin’ — so to speak.
Try out these moves on your next beach trip to work your entire body and earn a day of bumming in the sun!
1. Marching Planks
Start in an elbow plank and press hands down to rise into normal plank. From the plank position, lift right heel upward with straight leg, and repeat on left leg. Thats 1 rep!
Modification: Try them on your knees if needed.
