If you have a lot of things going on it’s important to make a habit of getting your workout done first thing in the morning or else it might not happen at all. The key is to make it easy for yourself when you wake up to eliminate any potential excuses. Set the alarm and lay out your clothes next to your bed the night before so you can get into them as quickly as possible in the morning. If setting out to do a hard sweat feels like too much promise yourself to at least get in something nice and easy like a jog. Once your body’s warmed up you’ll be more likely to go for that further, harder run after all. Remember even a light workout is better than nothing.

Although runs on the beach aren’t for everyone there are plenty of benefits to them. Movement on sand strengthens the arches, ankles, and other below-the-knee muscles. The soft unstable nature of sand makes your lower body work in different ways than running on a typical hard surface like street asphalt. Starting at a short distance helps prevent injuries, even for experienced runners. Begin with a slow jog for 10-15 minutes while taking in the ocean air. Make sure to throughly stretch after, you’ll be surprised how certain underused muscles may feel the very next day.
