Beach Workout

Ok, so I might be a little premature talking about the beach. After that week we had two weeks ago, I got a little over excited. Sticking with the beach topic, I am going to put together a little program you can do at the beach to jack up your metabolism so you are burning some extra calories sitting in the sun!

This routine will only take approximately 15 minutes to do and then you can lounge the rest of the time! Perform this circuit barefoot and make sure you have your water handy!

Mountain Climbers x 20 seconds

Lunges x 15/side

Jumping Jacks x 20 seconds

Broad Jump x 10 jumps

One Finger Cartwheel Push Up x 15

There is one movement you can leave out if you choose so, but complete the other 4 exercises (the first four ones:) ) at a brisk pace. Perform the full circuit 3-4 times and enjoy burning calories while you bask in the sun!

You don't always need a lot of equipment to get in a good workout! Here is a sample routine that you can perform on your off days from FT to aid you in your body composition goals.

2. Jump Squats x 12-15

3. Chair Dips x 12-15

4. Plank x 30-45 seconds

5. Wall Slides x 12-15

6. Reverse Crunch x 12-15

Perform this circuit 3-4 times through and keep your "off" days fun!

Fasting

The mainstream nutrition advice for a while has been, "Eat a healthy breakfast upon rising". Although this is great advice for someone who tends to binge eat later in the day, it can be hindering your fat loss goals!

My advice to my clients is to take advantage of your "fasted" state upon waking. The bodies primary source of fuel in the morning is fat. Taking in a breakfast with carbohydrates blunts the fat loss.

I am not recommending that you do not eat at all in the morning, but waiting a few hours takes advantage of fat burning. Try going for a short walk to intensify the effects.

Give this a try and good luck with your body composition goals!
