Details: Finding ways to stay fit while cruising is challenging because of space constraints for both performing exercises and stowing equipment. This seminar shows you how you can get a comprehensive, Pilates inspired workout, including flexibility, strength, and core stabilization training using items already found on your sailboat. All you need is good quality boat line, a block, a sturdy object such as a mast or a tree for an anchor point, and a clever use of body weight for resistance. Ada will demonstrate many of the exercises and show how they may be adjusted to accommodate various fitness levels. Whether you're looking to stay in shape while at sea or you're working out at home to look great at your final destination, you'll find this program fun and challenging.
