Why you shouldn't go to the gym this summer

‍Why You Shouldn't Go to the Gym This Summer

‍

Summer is short.

‍

(and 2026 came with way too much rain)

‍

It's not every day that a perfect beach day comes around, so when it does, you need to be there.

‍

Here's the thing though...

‍

Skipping the gym doesn't have to mean skipping the workout.

‍

Before you pack the car, throw on sunscreen, and argue about who forgot the chairs... you have time to move.

‍

20, 30, 40 minutes. At home, in the driveway, in the backyard.

‍

No equipment (or excuses!)

‍

Here's 3 workouts straight from The Garage Gym's At Home / On The Road program you can do your next beach day:

‍

40 Mins in Heaven

10 minutes of Jumping Jacks
10 minutes of Burpees
10 minutes of Bodyweight Squats
10 minutes of Sit-ups

***Rest if and when you need it.

***If you don't have 40 minutes, do it for the time you have.

‍

EMOM Pushups

For when you have 10, 15, or 20 minutes before you head out.

Pick a number of pushups. 3, 5, 10, 20 (doesn't matter).

Do that many pushups every minute, for however long you have.

10 pushups every minute for 20 minutes = 200 pushups.

You do the math (and the pushups).

‍

Ouch

Earn that beach chair

30 minutes (or whatever time you have):

10 Forward Lunges
10 Bodyweight Squats
10 Reverse Lunges
10 Situps

***Work until time runs out & rest when you need it.

‍

The beach is calling....

‍

Just make sure to break a sweat before you head out.
