High Intensity Workout
Mick Schamburg Park offers fantastic views up on top of the headland, you can look out to the sweeping beach views with the iconic Surfers Paradise skyline to the North, and the beautiful Burleigh Heads to the South.
Of course, you can walk or cycle along the beach front trail and jump on the fitness equipment any time. But if you’re looking for something a little bit more freestyle, check out this short, high intensity workout in this beautiful park.

Jog along the beach
Park in the car park next to the North Burleigh Life Saving Club and warm up with a short jog along the beach. Start out on the hard sand, and progressively make it more challenging by jogging into the deeper, soft sand. Jog all the way up to the headland, and then come up off the beach the grass.
There is a moderately steep hill up to the lookout at the top – catch your breath at the bottom of the slope, and then run up as fast as possible without stopping. At the top of the slope you will find a circular platform used for wedding ceremonies. Find a section of the platform wall that is the right height for you, and perform 10 step ups on each leg, followed by 10 push ups and 10 bench dips. Walk back down the slope, and then repeat three times.
Finishing Up
Once you have completed your slope activities, slowly jog back along the beach to your starting point, reducing your pace as you go.
Back at the grassy park beside the car park complete the session with some abdominal exercises. Find yourself a comfortable section of grass and lie down, perform 10 sit ups, 10 leg raises, 10 get ups and 10 bird-dogs. Repeat this series three times.
Finish off with a stretch back at the car park – and a shower if you need it!
