How to Exercise on the Beach without Anyone Knowing You're Working Out.

It's that time of year again! When Cookouts, days at the beach, and crazy schedules fill our summer months it's so surprise that healthy eating and exercise often get put on the back burner. Here are some way to make sure your day at the beach includes some exercise as well!


Some easy ways to be active at the beach:
Walking
Surfing/ body surfing 
Swimming
Walking in the water knee/waist deep
Get up off your chair/ blanket often and walk down to the water
Dig a whole/ build a sand castle 
Play catch/frisbee
Volleyball/Paddleball
Picking up seashells and sea-glass 
Flying a kite
Sea kayaking

Some not-so-easy, but fun ways to keep moving:
Windsurfing
Water skiing
Paddle boarding

Don't forget the sunscreen, and always stay hydrated! Check out of my favorite kind of sun protection (hypoallergenic, anti-aging, all natural, never tested on animals) here!
