The beach climber is typically known as a lower-half exercise; however, by alter-
nating your feet through the sand, this exercise will surely increase your heart rate
and improve your cardiovascular system. Not only that, your core, back, chest and
shoulders will feel the burn during this dynamic exercise. Start by submerging your
hands and feet into the sand in a push up position. Next, bend one knee and bring
it close to your chest while bracing you core. Kick your bent leg back while alter-
nating your opposite leg towards your chest. Try performing 5 sets of 30 seconds to
really feel the beach climber burn.

BEACH (MOUNTAIN) CLIMBER

One of our favourite core exercises here at F.R.E.E. Fitness is the bicycle crunch. Not
only is this a great core exercise, it also involves many larger muscles such as your
quads, hamstrings, hips and lats. Start by laying on your back, bracing your neck with
both your hands. Lift your shoulders and feet off the ground at the same time by
engaging your core. Next, bring your right elbow towards your left knee until they
meet. Be sure that you are bracing your core by tucking your rib cage downwards,
rather than just moving your elbows. Repeat by performing the same movement on
the opposite side. Try 5 sets of 30 bicycle crunches per side!
