Beach Dune Sprint

Equipment Required: a sand dune

Technique

Running in the sand is best done in bare feet.
Select a slope that has a long and clear section of sand.
Put your head down and go for it.
Short fast steps are usually best to maintain your forward momentum up the incline.
Depending on the slope and distance, 3-10 sprints will give you a great workout.

Warm up before any exercise program. At the beach, a run and some stretches is a good way to start.
For a particularly steep section of sand dune it may help to have a run up to generate speed and give some initial momentum up the slope.
If it is sunny, don't forget to cover yourself up with a hat or some sunscreen. If it is hot, be sure to drink lots of water to stay well hydrated.
Follow any signs that warn you to stay off the dunes, as sometimes they are protected to avoid erosion and damage to the plants and ecosystem.

If there are no sand dunes around, sprinting or jogging in the soft sand can be an alternative.
