Get Sexy in the Sand 30 Minute Workout!!! Access the best cardio and strength exercises using sand to boost your Burn and tone.
Sand is a simple way to burn more calories per step. Studies show that yo’ll activate extra muscle just by treading on the loose stuff at the beach rather than solid ground. Grains of sand constantly shift. Also, the soft surface absorbs more energy, so instead of experiencing a helpful rebound effect as you would on pavement, you sink deeper and your muscles have to engage longer to push off and your forced to work harder to push off.
Get Sexy in the Sand 30 Minute Workout…. will reduce the stress on your joints. Research found that the impact on joints is about four times lower on sand than on firmer surfaces, which can mean much less post workout inflammation and joint damage. This remains true even as you increase your exercise intensity.
