Let Your Legs Loose

Blast through sand with this lower-body beach workout. "Sand provides less stability, making the simplest movements much tougher," says Robert dos Remedios, C.S.C.S.

Avoid the compacted stuff near the water (it's best for running)—it's too hard on your ankles. For these exercises, go barefoot on a soft, flat area. Do two sets of each exercise, resting 30 seconds between sets and 60 seconds between exercises. Repeat the circuit, then reapply your sunscreen.
