Jessica’s Beach Workouts for Vacation

4:15 It’s a good time to talk about beach workouts because it’s winter, here in the northeast and people are thinking about getting away to more tropical climates. Jessica designed some beach workouts so that you can get your exercise in while you’re on vacation.
4:59 So why workout on the beach?
You get fabulous views, mood boosting effects from the sun and an extra challenge for your muscles by working out in the sand. You can use your own bodyweight and get some great resistance just by being in the sand.
Here’s a very simple workout that anyone can do. You do these moves for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds rest and repeat the series three times. This is perfect for anyone even if you can only do the series one time, excellent, keep at it and build your way up.

Downward Dog Push-ups

5:46 The first move is “Downward Dog Push-ups”. Do as many as you can in 30 seconds by lifting your hips up and bringing the crown of your head to the floor. This is an exercise that’s great for your shoulders and your core.

Surfer Get-Ups

6:19 The next exercise is called “Surfer Get-Ups” Jessica created the name, Very appropriate for the beach! Start on the ground in a low plank with your hands under your shoulders and your belly on the ground. Keep your abs engaged, then push up from the ground and jump into a squatting (surfer) position with your right foot forward. Then return to the original position and repeat with the other foot.

Lateral Planks

7:39 The next move is a “lateral plank” Start in a plank position with your hands under your shoulders, engage your abs and take two steps to the right (while in the plank position) and perform a push-up. Then repeat the process by moving back to the left and performing another push-up.
The workout is similar to a high intensity interval training (HIIT) workout in that you want to do as many as you can and give it all you’ve got for 30 seconds.

Long Jumps

8:33 The final movement is a “long jump” very similar to a broad jump. Start by bending your knees and jumping as far as you can forward into the sand. Turn around and jump back. Repeat these jumps for 30 seconds. (you may find it helpful to set out two towels or make marks in the sand to jump toward.)
9:15 So the entire circuit takes approximately 4 minutes and then you’re repeating the circuit three times so the entire workout takes around 12 minutes. It’s a full body workout you can do on the beach or anywhere without needing additional equipment!

Helps To Make Weight Loss on Your Own More Effective

It can be a struggle to lose weight, but fortunately there are many things you can do to increase your chances of reaching your goals. Below is a list of tips for making weight loss more effective and how to lose weight in a healthier and more structured way. Increase Your Fiber Intake Counting calories is not the only thing you should pay attention to in a new diet. You will also need to increase your fiber intake. Foods that are high in fiber are usually low in calories and you will naturally decrease your calorie intake if you consume more fiber-rich foods. Fiber-rich foods are also usually more filling. These foods require more chewing, which is why you feel fuller after you eat foods like these. Fruits, barley, beans, and oats are examples of foods that are filled with fiber. Perform High-Intensity Workouts You may not need to exercise more in order to lose weight. In fact, you can get more out of your work out if you perform high-intensity interval training. This is a me
