Fitku: Beach running
As I get ready to embark on a beach vacation next week, I can't help but get excited that I'll be able to run on the beach. Running barefoot, feeling the sand between my toes, working my calves into things of beauty... I'm looking forward to it!It is easier on the joints to run on sand -- less impact -- and the resistance the sand offers helps you burn more calories and get a better workout overall.
How could I resist writing a Fitku about this awesome exercise?
Running on the beach
calves burn, sand churns, and heart pumps
I yearn for the shore
Do you enjoy running or walking on the beach?

Hey Debra,
Sounds like fun! I love running on the beach as well, especially at sunrise.
I'd love to shoot you over one of my iPod guided running workouts if you'd like to enjoy a more exhilarating and motivating run.
Let me know.
Yuri
