Outdoor Exercises That Might Not Be On Your Radar

9. Sand Bucket Hammer Curls

Gym and workout equipment like kettlebells can be pretty expensive, so grab a bucket or two and hit the beach. Fill the buckets with sand to transform them into dumbbells. Hold the buckets at your sides with your feet shoulder-width apart. Brace the abdominal muscles and exhale while slowly flexing both elbows to lift the buckets upward. The wrists and shoulders should not move from a neutral position. Inhale and slowly lower the buckets back to the starting position. This is a great option for advancing, as you can simply add or remove sand as your ability changes.
