Working out by the ocean beats a gym any day, and this free Cardio Punch class sets up right on the Rockaway boardwalk: a boxing-inspired, full-body cardio session with the surf as your backdrop. It's open to all levels and costs nothing, making it an easy add-on to a beach day. If you're heading to the Rockaways and want to start with a sweat and some salt air, bring water and join the class on the boardwalk.
What to expect
Expect an instructor-led, boxing-style cardio workout on the boardwalk, scalable for mixed fitness levels, in a drop-in format. Bring water, sunscreen and a towel, and wear sneakers; it's outdoors in the sun by the beach.
