I took advantage of this week’s Fit Trip to Sandbox Fitness and shot the new 5 minute workout in Mina and David’s studio. Not only that, I also took advantage of their experience and fitness niche and had them lead me through the workout. This was the first time I used sand on the ground as a resistance which was surprisingly hard. Especially dragging the sand with your feet during the side lunges is an incredible inner thigh workout. I realize that not all of you have a beach to do this workout on, so you’ll have to adjust the exercises for the good old wooden floors, however I encourage you to safe this routine for the summer and give it a try when you get the chance.
Workout Breakdown
45 seconds max. effort / 15 seconds rest
1. Side Lunge (alt. legs) – If you’re doing this exercise on the beach make sure to drag the with your foot. When you drag the send out to the side, you’ll be working your glutes and outer thighs. When you drag the send towards your midline, you’ll be working your inner thighs.
2. Front Raise Push Ups – If you’re doing this exercise on the beach, you want to dig your hand into the sand before you do the raise. This way you’ll add an extra challenge which will target your core and arm muscles.
3. Jump Squat – Trust me it’s a lot harder in the sand.
4. Mountain Climbers – If you’re on the beach, you want to drag the sand with your feet and basically dig a hole underneath you. DIG IT!!
5. Hopins (plank jumps) – If you’re exercising on the beach, your challenge is to drag the sand towards you before you jump back into the plank. YOUR ABS WILL BE ON FIRE!!

The video is so fun, you must have enjoyed yourself 😀 I’m not at the beach but I used weights to make it harder ! I used my 3kg each DB for the side lunges and added jumps, I used my 12kg KB for the jump squats, and I did the rest with my own bodyweight, but I felt it, especially in my arms ! That was HARD ! But a lot of fun 😀 I did this one today because I knew I’ll have a busy day 🙂 tomorrow I’ll do the workout of the day and the Power Yoga 🙂

Hi Zuzka and WarriorZ, I’m at the beach this weekend on vacation and I did this workout, finally. The last time we were here, the tide was so high that there was water all the way up to the road so I couldnt do it. I warmed up with sun salutations flow facing the rising sun over the ocean. Then I finished up with kettlebell swings. I took a reusable grocery bag and put approx. 20-25 lbs of sand. Worked well but the handles ripped off , Haha, but I just rolled the top down and kept going. 😀
