An HC Intern's Attempt to Stay Fit While Lounging on the Beach Part-2 - Women Campus
Day 2: Walking/Running on the Beach
It might sound clichéd, but going for a walk or run on the beach is a great way to get your daily dose of cardio. I chose to do this after a couple hours of laying out so I didn't feel like I was sacrificing any of my relaxation time.
- Good For: Cardio, Burning Calories
- Try This: Most beaches have an incline towards the shoreline. Give your legs an extra challenge by running up and down the slope.
- How it Felt: I'm not going to lie, getting out of my lounge chair to go take a power walk wasn't easy, but I am so glad I did! Running/walking along the shoreline helped me appreciate the natural beauty that surrounded me in a completely different way and it gave my lethargic muscles a welcomed burst of energy. When I returned to my chair, I was invigorated and felt like I had earned the lounging and snacking that followed- and it only took up a mere 30 minutes of my time!
Snack Attack of Dill Yogurt Dip: Before vacationing in Florida, I had no idea that Greek yogurt can also be a key ingredient for delicious dips. Pair these with sliced cucumbers and you've got yourself one tasty, nutritious snack.
