Summer in Australia is about all for relaxing a hell of alot more, soaking up the sunshine and salt and making memories with the people you love.
You don’t need to abide by a strict workout routine to feel strong, energised and healthy. By leaning into incidental exercise; those joyful, natural ways of moving your body, you can stay active without it feeling like exercise at all.
Here are some ideas to try with friends, your partner or even solo with your pup by your side.
1. Sunrise or Sunset Walks
There’s something magical about walking when the sun paints the sky. Invite a friend, bring your partner or take your dog for an early morning or evening stroll. Not only does it boost your step count and cardiovascular health but it also doubles as quality time and mindful reflection. Tip: If you are on the sand barefoot is even better!)
2. Ocean Dips + Late Evening Swims
Heading to the beach during the day is refreshing, but there’s something unforgettable about a late-night swim under the stars or a quick sunrise dip. Swimming is an incredible full-body workout and doing it with friends adds fun, laughter and memories that feel like summer magic. Tip: Always swim safely; choose patrolled beaches or a pool for night dips.
3. National Park Hikes
Australia is home to incredible trails and national parks, perfect for day trips or holiday adventures. Hiking strengthens your legs, improves endurance and gives you a deep sense of grounding in nature. It’s also a chance to disconnect from screens and reconnect with loved ones. Tip: Pack a nourishing picnic to enjoy at the summit (if you dont mind carrying a backpack!)
4. Bike Rides by the Coast or River
Cycling is a low-impact way to get your heart rate up while exploring local coastal paths or riverside tracks. Whether it’s a leisurely cruise or a longer ride, it’s an activity that works as well with friends as it does with a partner. Tip: Choose a bike with a basket and pack a drink and snacks to enjoy under a tree!)
5. Snorkelling Adventures
Grab your mask and fins and dive into the underwater world. Snorkelling not only gets you moving but also leaves you feeling awe-inspired by nature’s beauty. A perfect adventure for a holiday weekend with family or friends.Tip: Research conditions and weather before setting the date!)

6. Park or Beach Fitness
Sometimes fitness can look like throwing a frisbee for your dog, beach cricket as a family or paddling your kids out on a board. These small movements are still great ways to stay active and moving.
This Australian summer, let your fitness routine feel less like a routine and more like a celebration of the season.
By moving with the sun and embracing incidental exercise, you’ll not only boost your physical health but also deepen your connections with those around you.
Remember, wellness is about balance; enjoying the outdoors, nourishing your body and making space for joy.
Dont forget emotional, spiritual and mental health are equally as important as the physical so make sure to take care of you this summer! 🌞 🧘♀️ ✨
With love,
