Ways to Burn Calories at the Beach

 Beach season is here!  Many people either take their summer vacation to the beach or they live at the beach, like I do.  Most of the time when people on vacation they don't really want to goto the gym and workout.  I have good news for everyone looking to burn calories and not take time out of your vacation to hit the gym.  

Hell, some days I would just prefer to spend the day on the sand in the sun instead of spending time in the gym.  I want to sleep in and get my workout while simultaneously getting a tan and having fun with my kids.  You wouldn't necessarily goto the gym before a day of hiking or skiing.  You'd possibly consider that enough exercise for the day.  The beach is the same way, as long as you don't lay around drinking and tanning all day. 

Here are some of the most popular (and fun) ways to burn calories at the beach and the approximate number of calories they burn per hour

Is there something that I don't have listed that you do when you goto the beach that burns calories?
