Beach Volleyball

Check the sand for sharp objects and the space around the court. Warm up your fingers, shoulders, and ankles, and protect yourself from the sun.

Start with easy passes and light serves. Take short steps in the sand and keep the ball in front of you.

Slow your movement and walk on the sand as you finish. Drink water and let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.

Moving and jumping in sand work your cardiovascular system and whole body. Use your legs to push off the sand and your shoulders and arms to pass and hit.

Bend your knees when landing in the sand to absorb the impact smoothly. Rest in the shade and drink water often in hot weather.

Keep breathing instead of holding your breath when you jump or hit. Use breaks between rallies to settle your breathing.

Record the time spent playing beach volleyball. Do not enter scores, serve counts, or distance.
