I have never met a person who did not love walking on the beach next to water splashing on your feet.
Did you know that walking in sand requires a greater effort than walking on a hard surface? Your muscles and tendons will work harder as your foot moves around.
Once a person starts to walk, their speed increases and walking at a slower pace requires more effort than walking fast or even jogging.
Walking in sand requires more energy than walking on hard surfaces; such as on street pavements.
One of the primary benefits of walking on a beach is that you will use 20 to 50 percent more calories than you would walking at the same pace on a hard surface.
It is advisable to slow down your pace and work those leg muscles and tendons more effective with emphasis being placed on when each foot in pressed to the ground.
You will not want to do this every day; however, when you hit the beach you are encouraged to try it.
For a short stroll down the beach bare feet are fine, but if you are going to walk a longer distance then make sure you walk in shoes.
Walking too far in sand in bare feet can result in shin splints or a sore tendon in your heel.
Walking barefoot on the sand at the beach can cause severe sunburn on the top of your feet if you are not careful.
Before walking outdoor under any circumstances in your bare feet, you should put sunscreen on the top of each foot for protection from the sun.
Walking bare foot actually uses muscles in a different way.
When you are barefoot, don't forget you can go forward for about 100 steps then go backward for about 30-40 steps.
You will experience a total leg workout by practicing this method.
