SEASONAL RECIPE Pink Sunrise Strawberry Smoothie
WHY HITTING THE BEACH IS MORE THAN JUST FUN IN THE SUN Planning a beach trip this summer? You’d be surprised how much exercise you can get during a beach vacation. In between building sand castles and napping in the sun, try these fun health-boosting beach activities: • Walk on the sand: While walking is an excellent exercise in and of itself, doing so on a sandy beach has additional benefits. The sand provides resistance that can help build strength in the muscles of your lower body. • Splash in the waves: Make sure to spend time in the water, even if you aren’t swimming. Water’s density means your muscles have to work harder to perform simple movements, making ocean time a great workout. • Relax in the breeze: Spending time in nature can help you relax and destress, which can actually impact your physical health, too! Take a few moments each to breathe deeply and enjoy the sights, sounds, and scents of your surroundings–particularly before it gets crowded! Want to ensure you’re injury-free and ready to make the most of your time on the beach? Schedule an appointment with Schultz Physical Therapy today!
