"I love that because it’s foam, I can easily grab this board and head out for an impromptu trip to the beach. I paddle out for an hour once or twice a week. Charging wave after wave usually ends up being one of my most intense workouts."


"As I get older, I notice the amount that I train in the sun makes a big difference in the way my skin looks. You have to protect the goods with sunscreen. My girlfriend makes this brand which focuses on natural, organic ingredients."


"My weight training sled is a staple during my beach workouts. You can stack plates (or your kids) on it and a 30-minute workout in the sand feels like a two-hour workout in the gym. Nothing makes me breathe as hard as the sled."


"The beach in Malibu is a great place to get in some HIIT sessions. I always pack workout apparel in my beach bag and these are my new favorite running shorts; they have muscle-zoning compression tech built in so they have an incredible feel of support."


"I'm a huge fan of strength training and constantly searching for new books on the subject. This one is a must-read for any athlete who is looking to reach their top potential."
