Wellness 11/04/2022
At SPALAS we are lucky to be located in front of La Pineda Beach, which allows us to go for a run on the sand for a few days.
This practice is full of benefits that you should know about:
1. Walking on the sand on the beach helps you burn more calories , practically 50% more, since the sand, being softer, makes you exercise your body much more and burn more energy.
2. Helps you strengthen your muscles : this practice, by using more energy, exercises your leg muscles more and helps you strengthen joints and tendons in your feet and ankles.
3. Strengthens the bones : As in all outdoor sports, exposure to the sun favors the absorption of vitamin D, which in turn helps our bones to stay healthier and stronger.
4. Reduces injuries : the practice of exercise can lead to some injuries, without a doubt, walking on the sand reduces the impact on our joints so the risk of injury is minimal.
5. Improves the state of mind : and the last benefit, and not least important is the improvement of our state of mind, when exercising outdoors and by the sea causes a great feeling of relaxation and helps to increase our feeling of happiness and self-esteem.
