Run through the sand

  • If you’re used to running on the ground, a great way to challenge your body is to run on the sand instead.
  • Running in the sand gives your feet extra resistance, and forces your legs to work harder.
  • Start by jogging a short distance, like 250 or 500 meters, then move to a brisk walk, and repeat again.

Crawl like a bear

  • To perform the bear crawl, get on all fours with your shoulders in line with your wrists and your hips in line with your knees.
  • While keeping your chest high and core tight, take one hand and move it forward along with the opposite leg (ex: left hand, right leg).
  • Once you have moved forward, perform the same movement with the other side.
  • As you continue moving, keep your back straight and core tight.
  • Find a short distance to develop your coordination and stamina, and then work your way up.
