The is no denying the beauty of our state! With this incredible stretch of sand – the visual alone is enough to make you feel incredible! But did you know that taking your workout to the beach will not only give you better results, but will make you feel amazing both physically and mentally? And with the beautiful spring weather…it’s the perfect time to head on over!

With Vitamin D deficiencies being linked to depression and anxiety, the time spent in the sun absorbing the rays, which is the best source for vitamin D, your mood and stress levels will be greatly improved! Did you know that our bodies make our own vitamin D from the sun by combining the rays with cholesterol? Crazy, right? Great way to help to lower those levels too!

With the instability and unpredictability of the sand, the intensity of your workout is tremendously increased! It’s actually brilliant because the extra resistance from the soft surface makes it easier on your joints, yet harder on your muscles! Your stabilizer muscles, like your core are in constant engagement – yum to that! This all adds up to burning almost two times more calories than walking or jogging on a hard surface!

So next time you want to switch up your work out, TAKE IT TO THE BEACH!

I invite you to join my spring Academy! One week of an all-inclusive program to teach you a lifestyle that will arm you with the knowledge to change your life forever! For more information, find me on Facebook @in-home fitness with Linzi Martinez.

With love and devotion to YOU,
