Exercising on a boat - Look what I fell in love with!

[SVMusic]

I know that pulling sheets and boat maintenance is hard work and will keep you in shape. But much of the time we are in a port (as now, waiting for hurricane season to pass) so what do I do for exercise? I do AERIAL SILK!
Check it what I do to stay in shape (at 56) and come watch me fly sometime in Coquina Harbor, Little River. I love putting on free shows!

That's awesome! I do body-weight resistance exercises, stretches and use elastic fitness bands. But I think you've definitely outclassed me.
Keep it up!

Maybe @flynhi4u should show this to Cindy.

Two Sheets to the Wind? I get dates like that- they get so drunk that I have to hang them up to dry out.

I could see my head bouncing off the deck or my hard head knocking a hole in it!

Those are good ideas too. Never thought about elastic bands. They are easy to store and that's a plus. Maybe I can get my husband to use them because I just can't talk him into climbing up the silks with me. lol

I use these Bodylastics bands. Very good quality, I’ve used them for years. I have no affiliation just a happy customer https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006NZZH18/

You can also use the handles to hang from a halyard or use the bands/handles around the mast or boom for pulling/rowing type resistance.
I keep a set at home and one on the boat, and I also use them in hotels when traveling (but it must be in checked baggage- TSA won’t allow it probably because it could be used to restrain people)

Jodi says ‘no way’.... she’s not excited with heights. Will stick to running. But it’s fun to see other in their 50’s acting like they’re in their 30s!

Hope your site does well. I just got these silk yoga mounts for my rings. 600lbs per mount. I still wont invert on them. Do you have to go that high normally or was that for the glamor shots.

Thinking about using another set of silk yoga mounts next time i flip boat over for painting.

Lots of exercises possible with resistance bands. It comes with a manual and there is a lot on YouTube

Edit: btw I don’t think sailing a cruising boat keeps you in shape. Too much resting and sitting. If you can do it with a drink in your hand it’s not a sport.

I'm not sure what sport this is, but it is obviously taken VERY SERIOUSLY

There’s a form of yoga you don’t hear mentioned often: It’s the balance moves performed when changing for a shower in a dirty marina bathroom, and standing on a sandal while trying to keep your shorts and underwear from contact with the floor. Beginners lean on a wall or use the sink for a brace, advanced practitioners can do the entire process while free-standing. Penalty for failure is “going commando”.
