To do fitness on the beach is a funny way to keep in good form during the summer, in this way you don’t damage the results obtained with a hard wintry work in gym. Instead, if you don’t have a good feeling with the sport, summer time can be the occasion to start a physical activity with a holiday and light approach…this is the playagym.

Different bathing establishments offer a small gym with personal trainer and sporting machinery. On the beach you can find many courses: aerobics, step, spinning, but also yoga e pilates (more useful to relax the body) and dancing (for example gliding and capoeira).

If you prefer to do sport alone the best choice is a run on the beach, that give more benefits to your muscles, legs and buttocks than a run on the street. To optimize the effects of this activity, you can match the jogging with a little run in the sea, that allows to tone up the buttocks, the legs and the abdominals thanks to the water resistance, but also gives a fresh sensation that aids to face the swelling of the legs.

After all these exercises don’t forget to do stretching, maybe with the help of a bath towel, and to relax under the beach umbrella.
