Workout ideas for your Dune Gym Sessions
You don’t need complex programming to feel great on holiday. Use these simple, adaptable formats that fit a rentable gym and leave time for the beach.
1) Mobility + Core (15–20 minutes)
- Dynamic joint prep: neck, shoulders, hips, ankles
- Core series: planks, side planks, dead-bug variations
- Finish: gentle stretches for hamstrings, hip flexors, and lats
Why it works: primes your body for walking and cycling in the dunes and helps you recover from active play.
2) Power Circuit (20–30 minutes)
- Warm-up: light cardio and movement prep
- Circuit: squats or hinge pattern, push pattern, pull pattern, carry or hold
- Rest 60–90 seconds between rounds; adjust intensity to suit your day’s plans
Why it works: maintains strength without overtaxing, leaving energy for padel or tennis later.
3) Conditioning Intervals (15–25 minutes)
- Short bursts of effort balanced with easy recovery
- Keep intensity steady rather than maximal to stay fresh for the beach
Why it works: efficient cardio stimulus that complements longer walks or cycling routes nearby.
