- Walking and running on the beach is a fabulous way to get in some cardio while soaking in the swoon-worthy Gulf views along your route. Coquina Beach and Bean Point are great options for this.
- For a full-body workout, try paddleboarding or kayaking. The balance on the paddleboard requires muscles you probably didn't even know you had! And the kayak is an upper-body powerhouse, for obvious reasons. Try Leffis Key Preserve to get out onto the water for some fitness.
