The Best Exercises to Do on the Beach (and Relax Afterwards in Your KTK Kontiki Chair)
The beach is the perfect place not only to relax, but also to stay active while enjoying the sun and the sound of the waves. With the sand under your feet and the sea in the background, outdoor exercises become more fun and effective. And what better way to end an exercise session than by relaxing on your premium beach chair ? Here we present the best exercises you can do on the beach and how to combine physical activity with moments of relaxation on your comfortable and chic beach chair .
1. Running or walking on the sand
The most basic and effective exercise you can do on the beach is walking or running on the sand. The natural resistance of the sand helps strengthen your leg muscles, while the scenery keeps you motivated. Barefoot running also improves balance and stability, working areas of the body that aren't normally exercised on flat surfaces.
Tip : After your run, relax on a folding beach chair with a bag , which you can easily transport while enjoying the scenery.
2. Burpees in the sand
Burpees are a full-body exercise that improves endurance and strength. Performing them on sand increases the difficulty as the uneven terrain tests your balance and burns more calories. It's a quick and effective workout that you can do at any time.
Tip : After an intense burpee session, there's nothing better than relaxing on a sturdy beach chair and regaining your energy.
3. Yoga in front of the sea
Yoga on the beach is one of the best ways to connect your body and mind. You can do a gentle yoga routine or practice stretching postures after other exercises. The combination of the sea breeze and the sound of the waves adds an extra touch of relaxation to your practice.
Tip : To rest after your practice, an ergonomic beach chair will allow you to maintain a proper posture and avoid unnecessary tension.
4. Squats in the sand
Sand creates greater resistance, so doing squats on the beach is much more challenging than doing them at the gym. This exercise strengthens your legs and glutes, as well as improving your balance. You can do sets of squats during a walk on the beach to make the most of your time outdoors.
Tip : Want to relax after a good workout? Bring along a foldable beach chair , lightweight and easy to carry, to sit comfortably and enjoy the sea.
5. Swimming
If you have access to the ocean, swimming is one of the best activities you can do at the beach. This low-impact exercise works your entire body and is great for improving cardiovascular endurance. Plus, salt water is great for your skin, and swimming helps keep you cool on the hottest days.
Tip : After a swimming session, you will love relaxing on a waterproof beach chair , which is not affected by humidity or contact with salt.
6. Planks or push-ups on the sand
Planks and push-ups are great exercises to work your core, arms, and chest. Doing these exercises on the sand adds an extra level of difficulty, as it requires more effort to maintain balance. This type of training strengthens your core and improves overall body stability.
Tip : If you need to rest your arms and back after this exercise, a high-backed beach chair will provide the necessary support to completely relax your body.
7. Frisbee or beach volleyball
Not everything has to be formal exercise. Playing frisbee or volleyball on the beach is a great way to get exercise without feeling like you're working out. These outdoor games help improve coordination and keep you active, plus they're super fun!
Tip : For those moments between games, sit in an outdoor event beach chair that is easy to move and gives you the comfort you need to relax between games.
8. Paddleboarding or surfing
If you prefer something more adventurous, paddleboarding and surfing are two water activities that not only connect you with nature, but also tone your entire body. These activities require balance, core strength and endurance, making them a fun way to workout.
Tip : After a few hours on the board, relax in your luxury, reclining and adjustable beach chair to get the rest you deserve after a workout in the sea.
