Playing sports on the beach can be as simple as that. As a bonus: a toned body and the pride of going to the buoy. Attention, we launch only if we have the physical capacity to swim in open water.

We relocate his aqua gym class from the municipal pool to the sea to build up the whole body while having fun. And it's even better when we start with his group of girlfriends!

It's fun, it's the opportunity (finally) to start, and especially, we work our thighs, buttocks, abs and arms.

Running on the sand requires more effort than running on the road, but it is even better for toning your thighs and glutes.

But no it's not "nerdy" rackets. It's nice, it's vintage, and when we have run 250 times in the sea to get the ball, we understand why snowshoes are the best friends of our buttocks. Another option: we alternate with the good old frisbee.
6/15 The jet ski

If you have a taste for risk, it's the perfect activity. And for those who think that it is not a sport, you will quickly change your mind as soon as the first aches ... The jet ski stresses the arms and legs and forces the stomach to tangle (especially when 'There are a lot of waves', so this is a great way to build muscles.

Go on paddling and faster than that! And we do not stop after three strokes if we want more firm and tonic arms.
8/15 Windsurfing

When one arrives (finally) to lift -satanée- voile, it is the guarantee of nicely curved arms.
9/15 Water skiing

Same fight as for sailing, with the difference that it is not sailing that must be lifted, but the wave that must be released. At least, you work your arms and your thighs during that time.
10/15 Diving

We play explorers seabed and as a bonus, we muscle the lower body through the fins.

Gisèle Bündchen and Cameron Diaz are crazy about it, and when you see the muscular body they have, you think you have to go get this wave.
12/15 The stand up paddle

Once you get on the paddle board and master the paddle, you're off to a whole-body strengthening session.
13/15 Skating

Ok, we will not necessarily be able to make it to Venice beach in California, but at least with rollerblading, we do not feel like doing sports, and yet, we end up finding our legs a lot more tonics.
14/15 Bike

If the assurance of getting tapered legs does not motivate us to go to the beach by bike, then we can not do anything for us ...
15/15 Yoga

We breathe better, we distress ... The benefits of holidays? Yes, but also those of a yoga session near the sea spray and the sound of the waves.
