Summer is approaching and the warm weather often means vacations and more time on the beach. If you're lucky enough to live close to a beach, or if you're lucky enough to vacation close to one, take advantage of the opportunity to get in a little beach jogging. It's not as easy as it looks though, so take these tips from Health for a few simple ways to make your beach run more fun:

• Choose your shoes: You don’t need a specific type for beach running, but try to dedicate one pair of running shoes for beach runs so you don’t have to attempt the nearly impossible task of removing all the sand after your workout.
• Start on wet sand: Do your first beach run on the wet, firm sand near the water. Gradually progress to running on the softer sand for 1- to 2-minute intervals, then walking on the hard, wet sand for 3 to 5 minutes to recover. Stick with short runs totaling 15 or 20 minutes until you adapt to the soft sand.
• Finish barefoot: Postrun, take off your shoes and cool down by walking barefoot on the beach for a few minutes to strengthen your feet and ankles. Sand is a great exfoliator, too, so it’s like you’re getting a natural pedicure.
