How to Pass Off a Day at the Beach as a Workout

Because playing in the surf should count as exercise, right?

After a busy year, it’s hard to find the motivation to work out. Diets go out the window as Christmas parties are in full swing, and now that the sun is finally shining, gym sessions seem less and less appealing. So how do we stay active and still enjoy summer? Take it to the beach.

Sure, you could start sprinting up sand dunes and do serious laps of Bronte pool, but we all deserve a break sometimes and accidental exercise – like diving under the breakers, doggy paddling in the deep-end, running barefoot across white-hot sand, playing a casual game of beach volleyball, and carrying your kids back to the car – still counts in our eyes.

Why not work sporty swimwear into your beach wardrobe to help you look the part?
