Some thoughts and discussions from me.
3 Beach Workouts (you can do anywhere!) You Can Do Without Any Equipment
Hiya, friends!
Things have been pretty serious around here lately, with New Year’s intentions, life lessons learned, and getting out of a funk. So how about starting off the week with three, super-quick, super-fun, super-efficient beach workouts?
And just because I’m calling them beach workouts, you’re not limited to the beach in terms of where you do the workouts. Also, it’s pretty brutal seeing these sunny, warm, pictures when here in Colorado it’s single digit temps and snowy. Alas, you can do them anywhere! You absolutely positively do not need a gym or expensive, fancy equipment to get in a good workout. Two of these workouts require no equipment at all, and one just requires a tree and a picnic bench.
While Shane, Niko, and I vacationed in Florida over Christmas, I really didn’t have any plan as far as workouts go. However, when we woke up the first day, and Shane suggested heading down to the beach to workout, we kind of set a routine for the week. Beach workout>beach lounging>drinks and dinner. I think if I had my ideal life with an ideal day, that’d be it right there.
Yep. No qualms about that! 
disclaimer: please consult your physician before beginning any new exercise plan. These workouts are fairly advanced, please consult your physician before trying.
On the first morning, we focused on a mix of strength and cardio. It started out with strength, and then the last 3 or 4 exercises were more strength-based cardio.
Of course, every group circuit ends with a high 5
Woot!
And then on day #2, we focused solely on metabolic conditioning. We actually walked down to the jetty, which is about a mile down the beach. We walked to the jetty, and then on the way back, we did this workout:
On a 1-mile walk, complete the following burpee ladder every .10 mile
10 burpees, 1 tuck jump
9 burpees, 2 tuck jumps
8 burpees, 3 tuck jumps
7 burpees, 4 tuck jumps
6 burpees, 5 tuck jumps
5 burpees, 6 tuck jumps
4 burpees, 7 tuck jumps
3 burpees, 8 tuck jumps
2 burpees, 9 tuck jumps
1 burpees, 10 tuck jumps
On day 3, we went back to adding in strength. I really wanted to work on chin ups while I was there, so we walked down the beach until we found a grouping of trees, and got our pull up on.
Basically, one of us would do as many pull ups as we could, while the other rested, and then switched. Then we moved on to a quick metabolic circuit of v-ups on a picnic bench and picnic bench jumps.
Good times 
And on day 4, we were beat, and it was raining, so a rest day it was
Enjoy!
Do you tend to workout while on vacation?
If yes, do you use a hotel gym or another gym? Or use your surroundings?
Way to get in some awesome workouts on your vacation! That second one looks like a real doozy… oh burpees! 😉

Ha! That one was all Shane’s idea…I was a little less than enthusiastic about doing it, until we got going 🙂

i usually go for a run or walk on vacation. i don’t make it a priority unless it’s a week-long vaca. but usually i’m pretty active when i’m away so it ends up being okay!

Unless you have someone there to spot and assist you, what worked for me was bands, bands, bands! This also reminded me that I have a post in the works for pull ups progressions 🙂
I have been working on pull-ups for the last few years and am determined to finally get them this year!

Going on a beach vacation next week and this will really come in handy. Thanks for posting! 🙂
Looks like some awesome workouts – the burpee one looks killer! As for working out on vacations, I usually just stick to walking/exploring by foot.

I absolutely love these! The burpee one looks super fun 😉 I’ll try these the next time I hit up a beach!

No i don’t tend to workout on vacation and I really want to change that. We spent christmas with my sister and I did manage to run twice but she’s 5000ft higher than me and I was winded!!! I have done yoga before on vacation but I want to make it a regular occurrence.
Thanks for the inspiration!!
Love these! I have had the first one pinned but the other two look awesome too!

You guys are badass!
I pretty much always work out on vacation (it’s so ingrained into my almost daily life anyway and makes me feel good). Then again, we pretty much always take “active” vacations.
