Beach Workout

Written by HL on June 24, 2008 – 3:28 pm -

In the summer it’s when i’m in better shape, and i’ts not because i program my training to be at my best in the summer, no, that’s not the case, because i stay lean all year, i keep the fat burning all year long, but in the summer i feel better, i look better, and the reason is that i don’t workout at the gym, i workout at the beach, but without working out.

Confused ? Don’t be, i’ll explain. I don’t workout at the beach, i don’t have a program to follow when i’m at the beach, but i get an excellent workout. How ? Well it’s very simple, i spend the day swimming, diving, running in the water, sprinting in the dunes, walking around in the sand. I can tell you, that after a few days going to the beach, i have a bit more muscle, more definition, a better physical shape and a nice tan :)

I’t s so much better to be doing this than being stuck in a gym, you’re at the beach living Life, enjoying Life, nothing like the ocean, the sun, the sand, the wind, you know nature has that energy and it makes you feel so good. I’m lucky to live near the beach, and the one i usually go to, has miles and miles of sand, dunes, green all around, it has the ocean and a lagoon, it’s a beautiful place, and while having fun with my friends, i’m also having a complete workout, i’m burning fat, i’m gaining some muscle, i’m living, i feel happy, and that’s very important.

Another fundamental thing is the way i eat during those days, i basically eat a light breakfast, fruit and milk, and i don’t eat the entire day, i only have a big dinner at night very rich in veggies and protein, usually fish. During the day i only drink water, lots and lots of water, that’s very very important.

You have to try it, and you’ll see your body and physical conditioning improving fast, and you don’t even know you’re working out. If you can’t access the beach, i’m sure you can go somewhere where nature rules, or at least to a nice park near you. If it’s possible don’t live these beautiful summer days stuck at home or at the gym, live Life, enjoy the summer, enjoy nature, and get fit fast without stress.

Your Health will also thank you for that. Enjoy be happy.

    This is a great post. I grew up on a beach and spent entire summers running around with my friends. We wouldn’t eat anything all day long…sometimes 10+ hours without food and every last one of us were in amazing condition.

    It is a great way to live life, enjoy the outdoors, and look spectacular!

    Thanks Rusty, i think we’re lucky to live near the beach, it’s really good when it’s possible to enjoy Life and get in top shape at the same time. Nature can be the best gym of all, and that makes it possible for anyone to workout. Summer is really the best part of the year.
