This was our thinking – what better way to get some cardio under our sleeve than to get the blood pumping in a brisk walk along beach and up and down stairs with great company and views of where the sea meets the sky. There was absolutely no excuse to skip exercise for the day is the deal was this sweet!
Weather was pretty nice since the past days have been bucketing rain so it's almost as though destiny had spoken!
First
stop was Coogee shops for a milkshake power up at 9am and then the journey “There
and back again” not featuring any Hobbits began! Of course you could start at
the very top at Maroubra beach but our bus went right to Coogee so we stuck
with that!
It
was such a lovely walk filled with great ocean views, a lot of hat holding
(thank you wind) and of course fit looking joggers to remind you of your 2015
fitness goals. For all you Tumblr morguls out there who blog Tumblr models/girls
we even walked past Australian model Bambi Northwood Blyth near Clovelly
(@bambilegit for those who don’t know her). She was walking too fast to stop
her for a photo (still looked fresh faced despite the exercise – jealous!) but
she did give me motivation to conquer the next leg of the trip!
The
beaches were all quite empty with pretty rough waves so leg dipping was the
only option. Just as well because the wind was still pretty nippy but maybe next
time for sure!
Two hours later after conquering Coogee, Clovelly, Bronte, and Tamarama we finally reached Bondi and decided to lie on the grass and have a snooze before lunchtime arrived! You can totally demolish this walk in less time since we made multiple stops to take photos and we were only power walking anyway.

| Finally at a very sleepy Bondi |
Before no time in the sun it was time for a refuel lunch at before the much more windier and uphill staircase trip back to Coogee. We were feeling really adventurous but you could easily catch a bus from Bondi back home or something.
You feel so accomplished (why shouldn’t you) and start to envy the locals who probably do the walk everyday and have their banging bodies for evidence.
So sore legs all round on the bus home! If beach views and beaching dipping isn’t enough motivation to get you out of bed and exercising today I don’t really what will! Grab a friend , swimmers and your sun protection arsenal cause this is definitely a trip I’d do again (maybe half jog next time? Who am I kidding :P)
