The sea breeze, the feel of the sand, the sound of the waves, the reflection inspired by the human landscape... Running on the beach has an undeniable charm, as well as a number of proven benefits.
The practice of sport must always be considered in global terms. We are not only looking for the desired physical benefit in the form of fat loss, improved cardiovascular health, and muscle toning: the impact on mental health is equally (or more) important. That's why it's best to do an exercise that makes you feel excited about doing it. That you are looking forward to training because of how good it makes you feel. And running on the beach has a lot of chances
to be that summer exercise.

1- Contact with nature calms stress
Worries are put into perspective when one 'measures' oneself with elements such as the sea, the sun, the open air... Nature helps to disconnect, has a positive impact on the 5 senses and favors a 'natural' type of tiredness, different from the one you have after a day at the office.
2- Helps to release serotonin
Sun exposure helps release serotonin, and also helps fix vitamin D in the bones. It's all good vibes under a ray of sunshine, uh oh oh. Think about how you feel in winter and compare.
3- Improves breathing
The air at the beach is cleaner, so it is significantly more beneficial to run there than on your city's main promenade.
4- It is less harmful to joints because sand absorbs impact better than asphalt.
Of course: if you are used to it, better with shoes than without. Sandy terrain is more unstable, which increases the risk of injury.
5- Enhances balance and stability
Thanks to the characteristics of the terrain, usually unstable and uneven. In addition, you burn more kilocalories than running in the city.
