Burpees

AdrianneHo_SweatIt_Red_5Burpees are a full body high intensity exercise that burn up to 50% more fat than a moderate exercise. They are great to throw into workouts or to do on their own because they help build muscle while getting your heart pumping and burning fat. They also speed up your metabolism which in turn helps you burn more calories throughout the day.

AdrianneHo_SweatIt_Red_6A burpee is considered functional training because it allows your body to strengthen a range of motion that it uses everyday, improving balance, agility, and coordination.

AdrianneHo_SweatIt_Red_7A classic crossfit style workout is to do 100 Burpees for time. The average time is between 8-10 minutes but I promise you will feel it in your chest, arms, legs, and will be struggling to catch your breath. This is a great exercise to do when you don’t have time to go to the gym or have access to any equipment at all.

Beach Running

Even a short run is difficult on the sand, it consumes more energy than running on the road and burns as many as 1.6 more calories per mile.
Although it’s tougher than running on a hard surface, beach running strengthens your ankles, legs, calves, yet minimizes impact on your knees.
