Get Fit For Summer: Workout On The Beach/ Beach Vacation Workouts

The beach is the perfect place to relax, but it is also the perfect place to workout. If you are working out on the beach, make sure you have a bottle of water handy so that you do not get dehydrated. The heat will make you sweat more then you would at the gym, so just make sure to take care of yourself. The best part about working out on the beach is that there is a huge variety of exercises that you can do while still having fun and enjoying the sun. Going on a summer vacation or beach day does not mean you have to skip your workout. Below are a few different ways to enjoy your vacation and keep your workout streak going.

1. Volleyball
There is always a game going on somewhere on the beach. If you do not like to workout in the gym, this is a great option for you. The last thing many people want to do on a summer vacation is spend their time working out indoors. By joining in a game of Volleyball, you do not even have to leave the beach. In addition, a game of beach Volleyball is a great way to bond with the people you are at the beach with, or meet new friends. 

2. Football
If you enjoy football, bring a ball along with you. Like Volleyball, this is a great way to exercise without having to go indoors. It too is a great bonding activity, and it only requires a ball.

3. Biking
The boardwalk is a rightfully popular place to bike. Biking on the boardwalk is a great change of scenery from your sidewalk at home. It also allows you to get the feel of the beach while you workout. Biking on the board walk can talk you further than you might go walking, so you will get to see a little bit more of the area you are visiting/staying in. Biking in general is a great workout, so why not bring it to the beach?

4. Rollerblading/ Skateboarding
Rollerblading/Skateboarding has many of the same benefits as biking on the beach. If you enjoy these activities, bring them along with you. You get to stay outdoors, while keeping your body moving.

5. Walking
Never underestimate the power of walking. This is one of the best workouts in my opinion. Walk along the beach or the boardwalk with a friend or family member. Walking and talking is great because you get in a workout, and it does not even feel like you are doing too much work. 

6. Running
If you want something a bit more rigorous than walking, running is always an option. Running on the beach may be more entertaining for you than running on the treadmill. Once again, you still get to enjoy being on  the beach wile working out.

7. Swimming
If you enjoy swimming in the ocean, hop on in. Swimming is one of the best workouts because it works out the entire body. Swimming in the ocean is another great way to get your body moving without feeling like you beach time is going towards exercising. If you do not like going into the ocean, there are plenty of pools near the beach that you can checkout. If you are staying in a hotel, there might even be one downstairs. 

8. The Hotel Gym
If you are staying in a hotel at the beach, this is always an option. If you do not mind spending some time in, or if you need a break from the sun, this is a great option. The gym has a variety of different workouts that you can do. It is a great nighttime activity if you do not have anything else to do that night. 

If you are looking for a good workout to do on your beach day or beach vacation, I hope this helped. And remember to stay hydrated (especially if you are working out under the sun)

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers wh...

Is The Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment Worth the Hype?

 Hey Fashionista's! Today we are going to talk all about Hailey Bieber's Rhode Skincare line. This is not sponsored, I just really wanted to talk about these products. This semester in my public speaking class, I taught a unit all about persuasive speaking. My goal was to make the topic of persuasive speaking more relatable by showing how prevalent it is in our modern world. What was the product I brought in to show the power of persuasive speaking in the "influencer era"? You bet it was the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment. If you are a longtime reader, you know I rarely talk about skin care. Actually, I have probably never talked about skin care. That's because I don't really know what to say. I don't ever buy the trendy products because I am allergic to so many of them and if not, they make me break out. BUT Hailey Bieber got me- talk about effective persuasive speaking. I watched a few videos on YouTube of her using the products and talking about their ing...

Best Sustainable Brands of 2023

 Hey Fashionistas! Recently, I have been trying to make better fashion/beauty choices for the environment so I thought I would share some of my favorites with you. None of this is sponsored (although, if you're one of the brands I mentioned- hi and please feel free to reach out). Garnier: I wanted to start out with Garnier because they are not only an environmentally friendly brand but they are also my favorite beauty brand of all time. Garnier is a holy grail for me. I discovered this brand when they were featured on Project Runway many years ago and they completely changed my confidence. I use so many of their products on my hair: Mouse, Curl Cream, Hair Spray, Hair Gel, Shampoo, Conditioner, Conditioning Masks, etc.  Recently, I have switched from the traditional shampoo bottle to the shampoo bar and I am so glad that I did. I still get that Garnier glow to my hair while using less unnecessary plastics. Other Garner Fructis shampoo and conditioner bottles are made partly fr...
