Now....5 days on a boat you'd think you wouldn't get much exercise...but you'd be wrong my friends! I'm constantly going up and down the stairs (all 5 steep ones), running around deck trying to get this rope or that rope, trying to manage the sails, moving things around in the cabin to just make a simple meal...the butcher block itself weighs about 10 pounds, and then there is getting in and out of the dingy and going to shore to walk the dog. By the end of the day my arms, legs, back and butt ache!
With all that moving about we are exhausted by 9 pm and are heading to bed...but then we are up the next morning at 5:30 and taking the dog to shore and starting all the exercise again. I've tried to do some yoga on the bow but with the rocking and rolling sometimes you can get a good core workout but just trying to sit up straight and not fall over.
So, while I leave the nike plus system and my running shoes at home....so no actual organized exercise....I guess I get plenty of different types of exercise while sailing. I try to plan my walks around the sailing but some of them just don't get recorded on my dailymile counter.
