A day at the beach doesn’t have to be totally lazy — beaches provide a great fitness opportunity: The sand and water provide fantastic natural resistance for a cardio and strength workout. Peggy Hall, California-based creator of the Yoga for Surfers DVDs, came up with this workout to whip any beach bum into shape.

The moves are designed to be done at the beach, in the order listed, in a circuit without resting between exercises. After completing one circuit, rest for a minute or two before repeating the circuit one or two more times.

Before you start, grab two four-litre bottles of water. If you want to go heavier, fill them with sand.

And if the sand is rough, you might need a towel to protect your knees.
