Summer Beach Workout

Lucky for me I'm still enjoying my extremely long weekend at the beach. Running everyday can only be so exciting so while I'm here I try to mix up my workouts. Today I'm sharing with y'all a workout I do here at the beach to work on my footwork for tennis. But even if you don't play tennis it's still a good work out.

This workout can technically be done anywhere but doing on the sand adds difficulty and is great for your calves. If you are doing this on a hard surface I recommend repeating it few more times.

Hope you enjoy! If you try it out let me know what you think!

Rosie the Riveter

This past week I've realized that I very rarely share any of my photography with you all! 

What a shame! From now on I'm going to make more of an effort to post some of my photos on here so you all can see!

Here are some photos from a fun summer shoot with my friend! One of the best parts of living on Long Island is having these gorgeous beaches at our disposal. Aren't they just the best?

Current Crush Thursday Link Up: USA Olympics

Unless you've been living under a rock I'm sure you are all aware that the Olympics just ended. I've been eyeing all of the Olympic merchandise for a while now and now that a week or so has passed we are finally starting to see the sales (sorry Ralph Lauren this poor college student cannot afford a $145 dollar polo). So now that the prices are dropping, its time for me to hit the stores and get my Olympic merchandise fix.

I've been crushing on these three items since before the Olympics and I'm happy to say that I've been able to now buy the two shirts without breaking the bank. The bag unfortunately is still on my "saving for" list.

Funny story, I was wearing my Olympic polo while out shopping with my mom and sister the other day and when I walked away from the cash register to grab a last minute buy the cashier asked my mom "She's an Olympian? What sport did she play?" I'm sure you can imagine how my mom and my sister burst out into laughs at the thought of me being an Olympic Athlete. They didn't skip a beat to correct her and let her know that I was just a crazy Olympic fan who bought a shirt. Needless to say this is one of the best compliments I've received.

 

Weekend Beach Workout

I spent this past weekend at the beach for the last time this summer..(tear tear). I usually will go on runs for my workout when I'm at the beach but yesterday I decided to switch it up. I designed this beach workout with the goal of improving my footwork for tennis but it is still a great workout for anyone.

It is more difficult to run on the sand let alone walk on it so by moving and workout to the sand your challenging yourself. I did not wear shoes when I did this but if you have weak ankles or any history with ankle injuries it is probably best to wear sneakers or even a brace if you have one. (Or if you want something a little easier you can move down the beach to the hard sand.)

So with out further adieu here is my beach workout. Enjoy!
