Oops! I think it’s time I step up my exercise routine a bit – my leisurely daily swim no longer seems to be working for me. :-) Still, in this hot Dar es Salaam weather (which I love), I intend to continue to look to water for exercise. How about I take my exercise routine from the swimming pool to the beach?

What? You’ve never considered that before? Why? With the beautiful blue waters, white sands, and calming horizon of the Indian Ocean nearby, why not exercise in a manner that is not only good for your body but also refreshing to your mind and spirit?

Could it be that you just have no idea how to carry out an effective exercise regimen at the beach? Well, fret no more. Take a look at these two articles, from Associated Content and topendsports.com, respectively, which give great ideas on how to do just that. The first article does a great job of describing an effective cardio beach workout, while the second shares toning exercises that can be done at the beach with no extra equipment required.

Interesting, no? I thought so. I can’t wait to start exercising at the beach! Anyone else feel me on this?
