No Equipment Necessary: Mountain Climbers
There are lots of exercises you can do that really work your body without having to use a machine, weights or accessories. One of my favorites is the Mountain Climber, because it's a great exercise for the lower body muscles, the core, and it's also a great form of cardio.
Here's how to perform it:
- Start in a traditional push-up starting position — shoulders over hands and weight on just your toes.
Beach Body Beach Workout
So you've been hitting the gym a lot to get into that bikini and now that you've arrived, try and keep it that way with this beach body beach workout:
- Warm-Up: Tread water for 5 minutes.
- Cardio: Jog in the sand for at least 30 minutes. For an added challenge, run in ankle high water.
- Walking Lunges: Walking lunges are a great variation to regular lunges. Plus doing them in the sand adds a whole new variation.

At Home Cardio Moves
I have had a few requests recently of Sugar users looking for cardio moves they can do at home. Here are some ideas for getting your heart rate up in the comfort of your own home.
- Small sprints – Think of these like mini killers
- Jumping jacks – A classic move known for elevating your heart rate
- Jump rope – If you don't have a rope, jump with a pretend one
- Skipping – This childish form of locomotion is great for your legs and heart rate
- Mountain Climbers – Like running in place while in the plank position (for a description click here)
