May 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Already during Easter holidays many vacationists travelled to the sea. The blustering sea,  the beach and bright sunshine –a perfect recovery scenario. Now summer is soon to come and many will fly to the south or spend some free time at the north or east coast. To keep in shape even during the holidays nothing is better than running at the beach. With the JogStyle this is the perfect workout.

Of course running at the beach is not comparable to the common roadwork at home. The sandy, uneven ground is a real challenge even for trained runners. With the JogStyle by Omron you can easily determine the number of calories consumed during the run at the beach. The handy tool enables a direct comparison to the training results at home. How many steps are made on the sandy ground? How much time do you need for the general training unit at the beach? The JogStyle reliably and exactly measures all important values.

A cozy beach run is beneficial to the health. The salty, clear sea air is clean and fresh; moreover jogging in the sand strengthens the muscles in thighs and feet. It is best to run close to the waterline as the sand here is more solid and thus more appropriate for jogging. At the start 15 to 20 minutes are absolutely sufficient even if you are used to train longer. The tendons and ligaments of the leg get more strained when jogging at the beach as opposed to a more solid ground. Therefore it is important to run smoothly: do not jog too fast and change the direction from time to time. A special highlight: running barefoot. An amazing feeling! However as this is a strong strain for the feet it is only suitable for rather short training units.

Who has problems with running on the uneven ground at the beach or is generally prone to injuries but does not want to miss out on this unforgettable running experience can as well use a more solid route as for example the promenade. If with or without running shoes, with or without wind: Go to the beach!
