Turn the Beach Into Your Outdoor Gym With These 5 Effective Workout Ideas

Whether in Spanish or English, the beach is a great way to add intensity to a standard plyometric routine. Shoes off and in the soft sand will produce the most noticeable gains, but start with your trainers on hard pack and work your way up. Something as simple as a jump squat requires a lot more muscle recruitment to lift the feet out of the sand. Add in high knees, tuck jumps, skaters, jumping jacks, and our perennial favorite, burpees, and the standard exercises become elevated with the addition of the sand's resistance. Begin with 10 to 15 reps of each and aim for three to five sets.
