Hi there, this question is mainly for the ones who sail as pro or otherwise are active competitors with catamarans. What kind of training program you have. I mean how does your training week go through and what do you do during off season? 1. What kind of training on the sea? 2. What do you guys do before and after sailing? Warm up, stretching... 3. What other training programs you have? gym, aerobic, pole dancing:) 4. What do you do during cold winters? If you don't go somewhere warm... |

During the sailing season (March/April thru November) I usually just sail & windsurf (one or two days a week). Occasionally go for a jog, swim, or other aerobic type of exercise. This winter, I've been jogging in the mornings and doing some yoga a couple days a week in an effort to shed a few pounds and maintain flexibility for the sailing season. The past couple years I've been feeling it after a hard day of sailing. Weight training for the shoulders, back, and arms definitely helps when it comes to working the sheets in high wind. That's where I've been feeling it a lot recently. Stretching before sailing is a good idea, but I almost always forget to do it since I'm usually in a rush to just get out on the water. As far as on the water training, I find it difficult to practice much of anything unless there are other boats participating. It's hard to simulate and maintain the level of concentration that goes into racing in a non-racing situation. But you can pretty much always work on tacks, gybes, and mark roundings. sm |

Don't people realize these days it takes me until, at least, late September to get to the weight I'd like to be? I bought a boflex last fall and since putting it together have found it's really nice to hang stuff from

I struggle keep my weight up.The thing that has helped most to become a better sailor has been working with a coach. I had no idea how to tack a boat untill last summer. As for the others 2. set up the boat, as in get it off the trailer. The only muscle issues I ever have is my shoulder muscles get tight from looking left/right for long periods. 3. I have a fairly physical job, so nothing. Although I don't work as hard as I used to and I've lost alot of muscle mass because of it. I do think I need to work the muscles that handle sheeting the main. It takes me more effort than I think it should to sheet a new squarehead main. Its amazing how much of a difference there in effort there is between my new boat, and the FXone, even going from a 8:1 to a 10:1 4. Play playstation. Does it help? Probably not, but when the thermometer is on the wrong side of zero, what the hell else is there to do? |
